Vancouver Farmers Market Now Open
March, 24 2022
Friends and Artists,
Spring is officially upon us, and with the return of the cherry blossoms and daffodils, each weekend until October 30th downtown is abuzz with the presence of the Vancouver Farmers Market.
Over 250 vendors present their wares between 8th Street and Grant, and along Esther Street between 6th and 8th Streets from 9 AM until 2 PM every Saturday and Sunday.
A staple of the downtown community since 1990, the Vancouver Farmers Market is the #1 attraction for visitors to Vancouver and was honored in 2020 as being recognized as Washington State's #1 Farmers Market by the National Farmers Market Coalition.
Rain or shine, shoppers can discover unique gifts from a broad variety of vendors. Artisan goat's milk soap, organic catnip, heirloom seeds, handcrafted candles, and honey from local apiaries delight patrons looking for unique gifts to share. The artistic community is also well represented along the row of merchants; those looking for the perfect accent piece to make their space special can find paintings, sculpture, pottery, and garden art to suit every taste.
With the gardening season now upon us, those with a green thumb cannot resist the variety of perennial favorites and exotic options available from nurseries across the region. Local flower farms present the opportunity of gathering a custom bouquet for any occasion.
Local vineyards and farms give visitors to the market the opportunity to craft an organic gourmet spread, all locally sourced. The Snap Market Match program allows patrons to utilize their Snap benefits; visit the Market Information Booth at the start of your market experience to utilize this program.
More information about the market including the process of selling at the market may be found at the Vancouver Farmers Market website.
