UNIVERSITY DISTRICT FARMERS MARKET

Regularly recognized as one of the best farmers markets in the U.S., the University District Farmers Market is Seattle’s largest and oldest farm-and-food-only market, founded in 1993. Located between 50th and 52nd Streets on “The Ave” (the colloquial name for University Way), the market has a core group of “lifers” - farmers and food artisans who have been there, if not since the beginning, then darn near that long! It is these long-time vendors and the market’s dedicated shoppers who help give the UDFM its hometown feel and community atmosphere, despite featuring over 80 booths during peak season. Professional and amateur chefs alike come every Saturday to source unique ingredients not readily found even at other farmers markets.

UNIVERSITY DISTRICT FARMERS MARKET VENDORS

Note that vendor attendance varies from week to week and last-minute changes may occur. While we strive to update vendor lists and maps here each week, it is not always possible. If you have questions about a particular vendor, or if you’re looking for a particular product, be sure to stop by the market manager tent! You can also view details about market vendors and their products online in our scheduling platform.
