STOCK UP FOR THANKSGIVING!

This Sunday Nov 23 is the last day of the season for the Broadway Sunday Farmers Market.  There will be PLENTY of good stuff for a holiday feast: winter squashes, sugar pie pumpkins, apples, pears and pluots, lovely bunches of greens, all kinds of potatoes and other fall veggies – plus cheeses and grass-fed meats including beef, lamb, and chicken.  (No turkeys, alas – but for those of you who don’t have turkeys and want to really go local – remember that the original pilgrims ate everything from fish to venison at their harvest feast – ie., what was local and available!).  If you haven’t already taken the pledge to eat local for Thanksgiving, you can do it now by going to: http://www.pugetsoundfresh.org/eatlocal/index.asp.  

On behalf of all the farmers, vendors and market staff, we thank you for a wonderful market season and for your support of local, sustainable agriculture.  We look forward to seeing you again next year in mid-May (and we might even be able to extend the market next year through December!).

The Broadway Farmers Market takes place every Sunday, 11 am – 3 pm, from May 11 through Nov. 23, in the lot behind the Bank of American at Broadway & E. Thomas.  The market is operated by the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance, a non-profit (501 (c) 3) organization dedicated to supporting and strengthening Washington’s small family farms.  Your tax deductible donation helps the NFMA continue to grow and serve our farmers and communities – you can make a donation at any time at the market info tent.  To find out more about how you can support the market and our local farmers, visit us at www.seattlefarmersmarkets.org. 

The Broadway Sunday Farmers Market also accepts EBT/Quest cards (food stamps), as well as WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Coupons.
