When we went to Seattle last Sunday we decided to have lunch at our favorite fast food joint (Dick’s).  While there my husband mentioned something about there being a Sunday farmer’s market in Ballard.  One of the nurseries we were going to visit was in that area and I do love a farmer’s market so why not stop.

As we entered the market I was ready to put my house up for sale and move to Ballard.  My Swedish husband was not opposed to that idea.  Don’t worry, we aren’t moving, but if I ever moved to Seattle I’d park my butt on Phinney Ridge and frequent the Ballard area.

The Ballard farmer’s market was amazing.  There were plant vendors, vegetable vendors, meat, cheese and food vendors.  Soaps, art… everything.  If we lived in that area there we would need very little at the supermarket.

The best part about the market is that it is opened year round.  There are very few markets in the area that are open in the winter.

We didn’t walk out with anything, but my husband tried to purchase a summer sausage from Skagit River Ranch.  Sadly they were out.  If we had more money I would have completed my weekly shopping there.

Will I go back?  Heavens yes.  I would go weekly if I could.
