This market has thinned out a lot since my visit 13 years ago. Today when we went (a Sunday in…read moreJune), there was one total strip of retail and food vendors combined. The rest of the lot was amusement park rides. There was a booth to dress up and take photos with Alaskan huskies, ulu knives, handmade candles, fur, photography, jewelry, and my favorite: Christmas ornaments made of Alaskan clay. I had to get one and start my travel Christmas tree ornament collection. Paid parking across the street and they were actively ticketing!

Decent little market, but there really were not that many vendors as I was expecting. Only one row,…read morewith a majority of them having food. The carnival rides took up a majority of the parking lot, which limited how many vendors could possibly be there. With it only open a few months, I would expect more vendors to be out when the weather is nice. I honestly was pretty disappointed in how little they offered. There were a few decent stands, but the prices seemed to be pretty high compared to what was being offered and seemed to be more geared towards tourists rather than folks living in the area.

Not a huge market this early in the growing season, but each stall was run by delightful people and…read morewe walked away with some of the best tasting tomatoes EVER. The music by the Traveling Fleas was also so much fun!

I'm enjoying adventurous Alaska & part of that is the essence of good eats especially with fruits &…read morevegetables. Although this is a small farmer's market, all you need are a few stalls with excellent stuff & you have a simple salad, a delightful dessert or a versatile vegetable fricassee. There's stalls with fine flowers, healthful honey, a parade of pickled items like garlic & other pickled delicacies, marvelous mushrooms, various vegetables & flavorful fruits. Most take credit card. I learned about pink as wells as lion's mane mushrooms. And I know that $2 for a bunch of orange beets with vitamin filled beet greens to boot is a showstopper. Don't even get me started on $3 giant leeks. I could eat just those with toast points. While it may not be for you, nobody gets more excited or fanatical about a festive farmer's market.

I shopped here while in Anchorage. The location was convenient to my lodging in midtown and the…read moreother appointments I had. It was nice to be able to get locally grown produce and especially nice to get things not available at a place like Costco, where I usually do my bush shopping. A lot of the produce was super-sized and this worked out because even though the items were often priced by weight, there was a max price per item for many of the veggies. Some of the most memorable items were several colors of giant cauliflower heads, a massive daikon radish, and big bunches of greens.

I like coming here on Wednesdays to get vegetables and peruse the teas and honey selections. The…read moreprices vary, and can get expensive, but I like to support local farmers so it's worth it. There are the usual offerings of potatoes and carrots through the winter, with more variety as we head into summer. Recently, I came in and got a Thai basil plant for $5. The website says this market is open Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Will come again.

Alaska farmers markets are small as is this one but it still deserves 5 stars. It has vendors who…read moresell flowers, wild honey bee products, many various vegetables and all are freshly picked and tasty! The prices are reasonable and supports local farmers. It's also perfect to stop here midweek (Wednesday's only) if you end up missing the Saturday market like I will. The Northway mall farmers market is another one that is open on Wednesdays which is also worth a shot. I am a sucker for fresh produce and Alaska vegetables are to die for. The day long sunlight up here in the north creates some of the sweetest carrots and crisp vegetables of all climates I've experienced. You must try a farmers market and their carrots if you're here in the summer.

I arrived around 10:30 and the parking was already insane. The market itself didn't seem that…read morecrowded. I like the variety of food available like poke and cupcakes. I know that several vendors are selling the same items, so it was hard to figure out where to buy from. They are probably equally delicious. The pork belly was a very good sized portion. I was also very happy to see mango sticky rice being offered. I will definitely be back before the end of the summer.

The Eagle River Farmstand is a simply amazing place to get fresh made bread, cookies, cinnamon…read morerolls, and other items. Products are made fresh throughout the week and posted online when products are put out. There is a cash option and venmo for items purchased. There is a online ordering system for their entire options and it generally has a 2-3 day turnaround. They do offer fresh eggs periodically for when the chickens lay enough and those go fast. Everything put out unless directly ordered is first come first serve. Everything so far has been delectable. The cookies are massive for the size and soft and chewy. You can taste the buttery richness in them. The cinnamon rolls came out hot and fresh. The outsides were fire and the insides super tender and doughy. There was just enough cinnamon and frosting to make it perfect but not overloaded with sweetness.

When I was there a local oyster farmer was giving people the products they had pre-ordered. Great for gift shopping for both local and tourist alike.

We pulled up and I got excited before I even walked in. Keep your empty cleaned out bottles and jars because ladies and gentlemen we can now buy bulk item with out all the plastic from the big stores. They also have empty jars for $.50 if you need them. They have everything from raw nuts, fruit, vegetables, shampoo and toothpaste tablets. We walked around and looked and then decided on a few items We got small jars of a shea butter lotion, amazing! Also picked up some lip balms I believe we got three different ones. Also Amazing! I picked up some wheat berries so I can mill some flour for bread. Speaking of bread, they also sell bread made locally. They sell cookies and coffee made with beans and syrups they sell. We left with a bunch of goodies to try and takes about our next trip and what we will get. I'm changing our eating habits this year. We are making everything at home. No fast food all home cooked. Well except today when we had to eat, but we choose well with our food. lol we are eating clean now so if your looking to change your eating habits, or want to get away from all the plastic and buy local, stop in and have a look. You never know you may just see something and keep coming back for more.
