The Phinney Farmers Market opens in the upper parking lot of the Phinney Center, 6532 Phinney Ave. N., on Friday, June 3. Hours have shifted 30 minutes later, from 3:30-7:30 p.m. This will allow more time for people to leave work and get to the market for ready-made dinners and to pick up their groceries for the weekend.
The Phinney Farmers Market will happen every Friday through Sept. 30.

- Burton Hill Farm (raw goat milk dairy on Vashon Island), selling raw goat milk, farmstead cheese, goat milk soap, lavender calendula salve, and rose lotion.
- Toste — sweet and savory French toast sandwiches using locally sourced ingredients, organic and free of any preservatives, artificial colors or GMOs.
- El Chito – Handmade tamales made with local, in-season ingredients (chicken, pork, veggie, vegan), and special breakfast tamales, plus Hibiscus flower ice tea.
- Old Ballard Liquor Co. — Artisan nano-distillery paying homage to Ballard’s history as a Scandinavian fishing and blue collar neighborhood with old-fashioned liquors and liqueurs like Aquavit.
