Excitement over the opening of the QA Farmers Market

June 17th, 2009 · 28 Comments

Everyone loves a good farmers market, and this year the excitement is building over the opening of the relocated Queen Anne Farmers Market this Thursday, June 18th.

Thursdays 3-7 pm, Thursdays, June 18 – October 1, 2009
W Crockett Street @ Queen Anne Ave. N  (near Pasta & Co)

According to their website, the QA Farmers Market,

The numbers are in. For three years running, economics students at Seattle University, led by professor Stacey Jones, have compared organic food prices between Seattle grocery stores and farmers markets. Farmers markets came out cheaper, with prices up to one third less than at grocery stores for 15 items that included Fuji apples, red potatoes, baby carrots, spinach and salad mix. See this Seattle Times article by Karen Gaudette for more information.

On opening day, the QAFM will feature virtuoso guitarist Andre Feriante. This world-reknown artist, when not traveling around the world, has a standing gig (this was his 12th year) at Benaroya Hall for Valentine’s Day. If you’ve ever heard him play, you know the auditory equivalent of the word “swoon.”

Lots to see at the QAFM this week.  Do stop by!
