Two Saturday markets left
November 12, 2011
It’s your last chance to take advantage of the fresh, local produce provided by the Bellevue Farmers Market. The market will be closing up shop for the winter after Saturday, November 19th when the last market will take place. Luckily shoppers still have the opportunity to attend the last two markets of the year, and with the multitude of delicious fall produce in season, a trip to Bellevue’s Farmers Market is well worth braving the cooler weather.
Although fall is in full swing and winter is well on its way, farmers market shoppers can still expect to find a wide variety of fresh fruits and veggies including vibrant heirloom tomatoes, wild mushrooms, pears, peaches and a wide assortment of apples.
For avid bakers now is the perfect time to make some fruit pies! With strawberries, blackberries, rhubarb and pumpkins all readily available, a trip to the farmers market is the perfect place to pick up fresh, local ingredients to make a special fall treat.
Although the market is first and foremost a destination for grocery shopping, it is also a great place to pick decorative gourds and squashes while supporting locally owned farms.
The final two Saturday markets will be held on November 12th and November 19th in the parking lot of Bellevue’s First Congregational Church at 752 108th Avenue NE, and are open from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. So stop by to support local growers and pick up your share of fresh fall produce before it’s gone!
