Yesterday was opening day at the Madrona Farmers' Market. It's held in the parking lot of the Grocery Outlet on MLK and Union, perhaps a funny location for a farmers' market, but it works. In fact, the setting gives the market a unique, quirky flavor.
This market used to be held on 20th and Madison, in a church parking lot. It was grassy, but off the main drag. The market had a good feeling, but sales were a bit disappointing.
Last year we moved to the current location. It's definitely busier, and much more visible. Some people who lived closer to the old spot were disappointed, but most of the vendors have been pleased, and the fact that our sales have improved suggests that there's more of a demand for a farmers' market here.
It's still a small market, but it has its charm.
