The Phinney Farmers Market operates Fridays, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the lower parking lot at the Phinney Neighborhood Center, at 67th and Phinney Ave. N.
The Phinney Farmers Market is in full swing, and it wont be too long before there are strawberries, cherries and raspberries on the farm tables, said Chris Curtis director of the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance.
The Alliance also operates the West Seattle, University District, Capitol Hill, Lake City, Columbia City and Magnolia markets.
Curtis said each week in June, there will be a "tasty selection of uber-fresh, healthy, and absolutely delicious greens and other spring veggies," at the Phinney Market, which operates Fridays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. May 29 through Oct. 2 in the lower parking lot at the Phinney Neighborhood Center, at 67th and Phinney Ave. N.
The market has a line-up of weekly music and other events, including a special cooking demo by New Orleans chef Poppy Tooker. Chef Poppy will show shoppers how to make a fabulous gumbo using what’s fresh on the market tables on Friday, June 19, 4 p.m.
She is touring with her new cookbook, which shoppers will be able to purchase at the market on June 19.
