It is located next to Grocery Outlet and technically in Madrona as it was formerly known as the Madrona Farmers Market. Though the Central District is very close and a short walk from here. I like this farmers market more because it sticks to its name as it has a good number of fruit and veg vendors, unlike a market like Wallingford which skews more towards prepared food offerings. It is a good place to pick up some local produce for your weekend and to imbibe on delectables after the end of the work week.

This is a relatively new farmers market as it began just last year. The market is held on Saturday…read morefrom mid-May to mid-October and is located next to Madison Park and close to Madison Park Beach. This is more of a neighborhood farmers market than one that has wide appeal like the nearby the University District Farmers Market. It is a small market that takes up one block. Selection leans more towards fresh produce with a smattering of vendors selling meats and prepared foods like bread, cookies and pizza. I attribute the size of the market to its newness and there being competing markets nearby, specially the U District and SLU markets which happen concurrently. I would not go out of my way to visit the market. But if you happen to be in the Madison Park neighborhood on a Saturday morning, it is definitely worth a visit. It is a good activity to pair with going to the beach.

Lots of flowers and crafts, some produce, and fair food is all available for the pickings. Always walk through the entire thing before buying. A lot of the products sold are sold by multiple people and you can easily save money by simply walking a few feet away and buying from another shop. .

My favorite thing to get here is their asparagus which comes in regular and purple varieties and is usually available in May. Prices here are comparable to supermarkets and sometimes cheaper as well, so I would much rather patronize a local business like Ayala if given the choice.

Midwest/Eastern folk, that's a sweet tea drink requiring fancy fermentation with yeast and bacteria. I'm sure the definition is out there somewhere. Better yet, hop a plane and come try it. Dragon's Barrel is easily the most outstanding choice. Not too tart, not too sweet; flavourful & fruity. There are several other concoctions with different levels of sweetness, tartness, etc. The good folks dealing this are knowledgeable and patient. They seem very excited about the product and couldn't wait to answer our questions. We have another Farmer's Market to go to and will be looking for this wonderfully refreshing drink. 05/25

I have come a few times when the banana stand has not been open, but I do not fault them for this as I arrived earlier than they were ready to open shop. Go after 8 am to be sure that they are there.

I have been working at a client's site in South Lake Union since the latter half of January. While…read moresitting in the break room, I've noticed signage for Go Bananas from a building or an outdoor trailer in the plaza. I see folks walking away with one, two, or even an entire bunch of bananas. I've even seen trucks pull up, throw on their flashers, grab some bananas, and depart. That piqued my curiosity - what's with all the bananas? That's when I learned about the Amazon sponsored Community Banana Stand. You don't have to be an Amazon employee, anyone can partake from this banana stand. I usually don't buy bananas except in large bunches to fully ripen for baking banana bread. So armed with my sandwich, I ventured across the street and looked at all the boxes of bananas (2/21/24). All perfectly ripened, unblemished, and different sizes. I selected two and thanked the nice person. I ate one with my sandwich at a nearby Starbucks and literally was amazed as how it tasted. Transported me back to my childhood. My family had a banana tree in the backyard of our Navy housing on Oahu. The other one was later eaten by The Homie, he too concurred that was one fine banana. A nice perk of working across the street from the Community Banana Stand, thanks Amazon!

They just moved to a new lot this year with much more space and walkways to move around in. There are lots of tables and chairs they set up in the center to eat your food in in the sun or rain.

It is a lovely market, especially with foods that are not commonly found at your typical grocers…read more The vendors, farmers, makers have always been friendly and open. Love the small workshops on how they use these their products. Introduction is always welcome. Addressing situations where budget is a concern, teaching children how to sustain themselves as they get older and educating the wider audience to add to their repertoire. I think planning more progressive cooking classes would help. Our neighborhood is active and planning progressive dinners. I hope to take what I've learned from the market and pass it onto my neighbors. The ambiance has been raised a level, compared to the 18th ave location. Both were warm but much more eye catching on Henderson.

I have tried their classic breakfast sausage and Thai sausage sandwiches and they are both delicious. Both come with Mama's lil peppers, cheese, and a fried egg on top. It can be a bit messy of bite so grab lots of napkins! They seem to be always out of the chorizo sandwich when I stop by so it's probably worth a try as well!
