We enjoy the music and other talents, the awesome food, including the crepes and greek eyros. So many deversified items to choose from. Lots of great produce, berries, cheeses and plants and flowers.

We love the Bellingham Farmers Market because of the gorgeous arrays of farm-fresh fruit and vegetables, cut flowers, as well as potted herbs, shrubs, perennials and vegetables. There is also delicious local wild salmon available cooked on a bun or smoked and packaged to take home. Ethnic cuisine abounds for a quick lunch, French crepes or Indian, Greek or Ethiopian dishes to tempt and tickle your taste buds. Fresh baked biscotti or Mallard ice-cream for dessert and Java Joe's espressos or cappuccinos to while away a restful pause during shopping for all that wonderful fresh food. Last, but by now means least, the great people who dedicate their working lives to providing safely produced, organic produce for the enthusiastic crowds who flock to the Bellingham Farmers Market every Saturday, it is a happenin' place with musicians, baloon twisters, and crafts people adding to the colour and sound of Spring, Summer and early Fall Saturdays in Belingham. The growers make the market what it is, and I thank all of them for their hard work.

Buying locally at the market encourages a smaller carbon footprint (especially if you walk or bike to the market), cuts out middle-management (aka: grocery stores) and the products you purchase are usually within a week of harvest. The market makes a large town feel small again. It's also a GREAT way to connect with friends and family.

The energy is unlike any other market. The BFM is diverse, lively, and HAPPY. We've got family farms, a vibrant younger generation of farmers, and hugely talented crafters. Add that to the best buskers, a gorgeous place--the Cascade Foothills to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west-- and delicious products, you can't ask for anything better.

I support the Bellingham Public market each weekend because it offers me the absolutely wonderful opportunity to support local farming in Whatcom county and because its a wonderfully fun place to meet with friends and make new ones. I LOVE that they support the creativity of youngsters by giving them the opportunity to have booths the last Saturday of every Month! How great is that!!! I also appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the creation of the space with its recycled bridge trusses and parking lot on the weekdays...How well thought thru, no wasted space!!!

It is a great place for small farmers to sell their harvest. I have watched it grow from the very beginning, being a part of it myself as the E. Washington fruit vendor. It has come a long way since then and I'm proud of the job that is being done to promote it.

Fresh, quality, mouth-watering, locally grown food is the top reason, but you really can get that other places in Bellingham. So there must be something else about OUR Market that inspires anticipation and participation every week.... Could it be the the huge variety of music that rings the market vibrantly alive with joy? Or maybe the flower, textile, pottery or jewlery vendors that pop their colors so artfully right along with the veggies? Or maybe it's the scents of myriad regional cuisines wafting this way and that enticing our noses and tastebuds? Or could it be the feel of my young grandson's hand in mine as we join other people in the rich connection of community like no other? I suspect it's all of these things that fill our senses and souls and make the Bellingham Farmers Market the BEST!

It's an adventure every Saturday! I only wish I was able to attend the Weds one in Fairhaven as well! It's such a treat to walk around and be able to select your own farm fresh produce and other products. You get a chance to see the people behind the organic choices. It's so much better than trying to get some teenage employee at Haggen or Fred Meyer to even look at you when you need help! I can't wait to go this Saturday, I hope they have lots of berries!!

It's truly a great family experience. My two boys love going there for the food, music and honey sticks. We all look forward to it every Saturday. My kids love the market so much that I suggested we go camping the other Friday and their reply was, "what about the market Saturday morning".

I love the availability of fresh local produce, or plants, every weekend, and there are wonderful herbal soaps, teas and coffee, cheese, pottery, clothing, and various food vendors as well. Added benefit is the promotion of local community programs though out the year, and a kids market one Saturday a month through the summer. When you are wandering the booths, you can just feel the good energy!

From a marriage proposal in the beginning of the year at the market to farmers sharing some of the best local produce grown including our crafters with very unique and specialty gifts. My favorite is KIDS day they get to sale their craft items and the enjoyment seeing their smiles on their faces.
