Bellevue Farmers Market

Yesterday I happily made my way over to the Thursday Farmers Market in Bellevue, Washington.  It was the Opening Day of the Market, still early in the season, so there weren't as many booths as there will be in another month.  However, there were plenty of things to keep me busy, and I came home with a basket of colorful produce.

We have many farmers markets around the Puget Sound, and each one has its own personality.  The Bellevue Farmers Market is all about local food products – no arts and crafts.  What you will find are  flowers, veggies, seafood, artisanal breads, wild foraged greens, plant starters, baked goods, and more. It is also unique in that it takes place late in the day (3-4pm), drawing an afterschool and afterwork crowd.

A Few Photos from My Afternoon at the Market





 

After shopping for veggies, I stopped at the Veraci stall for a slice of pizza from their mobile woodfired pizza oven.



Then, I munched down on the fabulous pizza, while enjoying the fresh flower centerpiece on the picnic table...


...and listening to the fun bluegrass band performing just a few feet away, the Haggis Brothers.

Nice! /:0) It reminds me a little of the Los Altos Farmer's market, but yours is more photogenic.
