bellingham farmers market

I was not cooking on this vacation, so we only bought a small amount produce. It all looked very good. Food vendors that appealed to us were the Asian type foods. Very good, reasonable price.

We accidentally found the farmers market as we walked to Bellingham and saw large # people gathered in a spot. It was fun to walk around the market stalls and go eye shopping. There are lot of food choices here, but I would pick with care as some of the food are not very good and more expensive than regular restaurants. I especially found supposedly Thai food to be much lacking.

Although its not gigantic, this is def the best curated farmers market Ive been to- in terms of quality of craftsmanship, freshness of handmade cheese, etc, i wouldn't miss it. And come hungry, because there's lots of food stalls!

It is a beautiful drive from Seattle. There are quaint shops and plentiful restaurants where you can sit outside and enjoy. There are parks any where you look in Bellingham. We walked along the water at Marine Park and had a nice afternoon. Magdalena's Creperie has the best crepes I've ever tasted

As an avid Farmers Market goer I really loved this one. It is housed in a very nice spot within walking distance from downtown. There was food galore and loads of vegetarian/gluten free options. Coffee, sweets, plants, you name it. It was nice to browse around and chat to people. Most were very friendly and happy for me to snap photos. As it was spring moving into summer there were plants everywhere and some really nice priced flowers up for grabs. Overall a very nice treat for the day! I spent about 3 hours there just browsing around and watching some of the street performers.

During the season (April--November) we visit the Saturday market often. They always have the freshest fruits and vegetables in season (usually from organic farms in the county or the county just south of us. They also have lots of food vendors, some unusual (had any ambo Ethiopian food lately?), and lots of local craftsmen. There are usually musicians, places to get a mini-massage, and balloon artists to entertain younger attendees. Today we tried some local blueberry ice cream (it was very good); I bought a pot from a woman I know; and, I picked up some Swiss Chard. There are local cheeses, beef, sausages, sea food, bakery items and coffees available. Be sure to try some of the free samples. Not every vendor is there every week, so selections will vary. There is also a Wednesday version (a shorter season) held at the Village Green in Fairhaven. While not as big, it still has the fresh local produce available.

We stopped by the Farmer's Market before boarding the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry. There were lots of booths with wonderful, delicious offerings. Booths were piled high with fruit and vegetables. There were baked goods, drinks, sandwiches, crafts, etc. There were several organic vendors. There were blueberries everywhere!! We ate from our bounty for the two days that we were on the ferry. This was our third time to Bellingham. When we return, I will time it for the Farmer's Market.

This seemed to be a well organized, well attended farmer's market. They had good produce, food, gifts, street entertainers, and other eclectic vendors that makes farmer's markets fun.

This is a really nice Saturday Morning Market. There are foods, flowers, things and handiwork for sales. I enjoy the cheese and great veggies most...we bought lots there last summer when we had an actual kitchen to cook in...not so much staying in a hotel.The last row has picnic tables and food vendors. Man Pies (across the street) will change your view on the common meat pie / empanada.

Food carts with global taste satisfaction! Lots of cool arts and crafts, entertainers, all around great experience.

Just finished another "Breakfast Cookie" from the Bellingham Market. I polished off my paper cone of Roasted Cinnamon Almonds right away. SInce I had already eaten breakfast and had a second cup of coffee at the nearby bakery I studied the amazing food selection from a distance. More varieties of ethnic food than I see in my local market by far. A full aisle dedicated to hot entrees. Something freshly cooked on site for everyone's taste. I did try a couple of samples and planned ahead for my next trip to their bountiful Saturday Market. Locally roasted coffee was wonderful. Buskers and local musicians played to the large Memorial Day crowd. With Ski to Sea coming up on Sunday in Fairhaven and a local parade downtown there was plenty to see and do. I browsed the local crafts and was reminded how much I love Bellingham. Bright colors and happy voices. Lots of young people and lots of seniors. Visit the Market next time you are in Bellingham and be sure to save room for the food. Open market area is easily accessible with ample parking nearby.

When I'm up in Bellingham on a Saturday, I love to go to the farmer's market. Especially when the weather is nice and the market has extended to the outdoors. There are lots of local treasures - the fruits and vegetables are fresh and plentiful (the last time I went I was planning to make a soup - I was able to find the celery heart and parsnip I needed). There are many choices of prepared food as well. Whether you want coffee and a fresh baked good, bread with fruit and cheese, or a hot meal, you will have many delectable things to choose from. Then there are the performers, sometimes musicians or perhaps a juggler. There are also other products - soap, jewelry, ceramics, plants, etc. Shopping for fruits and vegetables is way more fun when you do it at the farmer's market. Plus you are getting fresh local food and supporting the locals.

Wow! Great venue for a wedding where about 300 guests are invited. The white tables and chairs were a perfect background for bridal colors. Food was along the townside back wall and the ceremony itself along the waterside. The aisle for the bridal party was the full length of the building giving everyone a great view. The building itself is airy with its rafters (so to speak) in full view. The weatherman had promised rain, but just as the hands of the clock reached noon the sun shone through in all its glory. Only downside was a quite persistent, irritating feedback on the minister's mike. Perhaps it's new and the bugs haven't been worked out. There was so much joy in the room that nothing could dampen such a beautiful wedding. Now I'm wanting to visit this venue when the actual farmers' market opens. I think that's in April.

Bellingham Farmers market is open on Saturdays through the Spring, Summer and Fall. There are many craft stalls there and a great variety of food places where you can get everything from crepes to hot dogs. There are also many vegetable stands manned by the local small farmers where everything is local and a great many varieties are organic. There are also cheeses, jams and preserves and a couple of bakeries where it is possible to buy fresh bread. It is a great place to go for a picnic as there are tables available and you can buy your ingredients and either eat them there or find a handy seat nearby to have your feast. The market is in a purpose-built structure and also in the immediate adjacent parking lot.

A great place to walk about, shop and enjoy interesting food. Many stalls are under a shelter and even on a rainy day this place is fun to explore. Plenty of food to eat or take home plus lots of crafts. A must stop for anyone visiting Bellingham.
