- There will be a new farmers' market sprouting this summer in the Meadowbrook neighborhood, located in the parking lot of the Seattle Waldorf School on NE 100th St., between 35th Ave. NE and Lake City Way. It will be held on Sundays from 11-3, from May 31 until October 25.
In addition to being a sales venue, this market will focus heavily on education, which is fitting for an event being held on the grounds of a school. Part of its mission is to teach the community about organic gardening and the importance of eating local foods.
I'm always glad to see any new market, and I'm also excited to hear of one that's being operated independently of the two organizations that run nearly every other farmers' market in the city. I appreciate and admire the work that these two organizations do, but things can get insulated and political at times so it's refreshing to have other options as well.
