Wallingford Market

Summary: I come from a city where farmers markets are year round, offer asian greens for $ 1 as well as expensive spring buttery lettuce but when I moved to Seatown I was quite surprised of the lack of year round, convenient farmers markets. Maybe I am inconvenient? So, I was excited when the Wally Farmers Market started back up again and super conveniently located of the 16 line and open until 7pm.
Taste: Lots of food booths from the Soda Jerk, some stir fry place, a sweet potato pie booth, baked goods and other sorts. I didn’t see any of the usual suspects like Veracci’s. Which is fine.
Site: In the Meridian Park surrounded by trees, green grass. Just beautiful.
Sound: Birds, babies, kids, more birds.
Smell: Grilled meat and fresh cut grass.
Feel: A very neighborhoody farmers market, almost a meeting place for local Wallingford Moms and Dads.
Overall: Prices are reasonable but can come down a bit. Its a farmers market not Whole Foods. I’m sure to come back. Hopefully they will have more as the season progresses other than $ 4 asparagus, $ 3 lettuce and $ 3 chard.

Great, local market. Organic produce and wonderful varietals with great selection. Make sure to go early, as vendors start packing up at 6:45pm. Great family atmosphere and perfect for bringing a blanket and having a small picnic dinner.

Go Wallingford! Checked out the farmers’ market for the first time this past wednesday. Great location, good variety of booths, friendly neighborhood people. It was a sunny day so I was expecting it to be slammed but it wasn’t bad at all when I got there about 6:30. The only bummer is that they are only open until 7:00 so us working folks need to book it over there before all the good stuff is gone. I got an awesome veggie quesadilla for a few bucks and some great fruit. Didn’t get the pizza this time but def will next week. Local jazz quartet playing around the corner was the perfect backdrop too.

This neighborhood market is held Wednesday nights in the summer. It began tonight fo rthis summer.
Organic vegetables and fruits from the Yakima Valley, Tiny’s produce.
Fresh homemade pizza. oh my gosh they look divine!
Community organizations (Cascade Bike Club and Solid Ground) and more. This will get larger as the summer progresses.
It is also in conjunction with the first Wednesday Artwalks in Wallingford.
