The Spokane Farmer’s Market is opening this weekend!

This Saturday marks the opening of the summer season for the Spokane Farmer’s Market and I Can’t Wait.

The farmer’s market will be running on Saturdays, starting on May 14th from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Beginning June 8th, you’ll also be able to shop on Wednesdays during the same hours.

At the market you’ll find tons of fresh produce, delicious baked goods to munch on as you shop, beautiful flowers, honey, and so much more. Locally grown food tastes better, is often better for you, and is much more sustainable than produce that is shipped cross-country.

I plan on supporting local growers as much as possible this summer and hope you will too.

The best part of farmer’s market shopping is meeting the people who grow the food. Stop and talk to the farmers; they’re often quite happy to tell you what produce is best that day and share ideas about how to cook the food they sell. Many will even take orders if you know you’re going to need a large quantity of a particular fruit or vegetable.

The farmer’s market is located at the corner of 5th and Division downtown. See you there!
