There are bigger farmers markets in Seattle, but none do a better job of balancing produce, prepared food, community, and downright fun than the Queen Anne Farmers Market. With its expected breadth of fruits and veggies as well as plenty of breads, meats, eggs, and cheeses, it fulfills one basic market requirement: You can get your shopping done. It excels in its inclusion of a wide range of food trucks and stands, great chef demos, plenty of live music, and a tremendous cross-section of the neighborhood. Run independently and mostly on volunteer labor, it’s a true reflection of the neighborhood it caters to, and seems to get bigger and better every year. Whether you’re looking for a relatively obscure green (say tot soi or sunflower greens), a snack (an oyster po’ boy or some tandoori chicken), or just a grassy spot on the hillside for people-watching, it’ll be there for you.
