Open since 2000, The Ballard Farmers Market is Seattle's first year-round neighborhood farmers market selling produce exclusively from Washington state farmers.
The Market has operated along the historic cobblestone stretch of Ballard Avenue NW between Vernon Place and 22nd Avenue. In the spring of 2016, the Market expanded onto 22nd Avenue, extending to NW Market Street. In the fall of 2023 the Ballard Farmers Market expanded once again, extending down Ballard Ave NW, to 20th Ave NW.
We hope you will visit us soon and plan to spend the day exploring one of the gems of Seattle.

“Why the Ballard Farmers Market is the Best in Seattle”
Check out the incredible write up about the Ballard Farmers Market from the Seattle Times written by Tat Bellamy-Walker
Here is a short blurb from the piece:
Colin Barricklow, who co-owns Kirsop Farm in Rochester, Thurston County, with his wife, Genine Bradwin, travels 90 miles to downtown Ballard every week to sell fresh vegetables, lambskins, smoked bacon and pork chops.
“Ballard is sort of the Holy Grail,” Barricklow said, adding that he enjoys interacting with regular customers and the bond among the vendors. “It’s the best market that we do.”
The piece highlights Ballard Farmers Market favorites like Kirsop Farm, Skagit River Ranch, Ayako & Family, R’Sential Candles, Bow Hill Blueberries, and more.
