6th Ave Farmers Market Update

The 6th Ave Farmers Market opening day of July 15th is coming up fast! It looks like it will be a great addition to our local food scene. The new market is being organized by the Federation of Tacoma Farmers Markets, which is a partnership between Tacoma’s Broadway Farmers Market and Proctor Farmers Market. The 6th Ave Business District Association and the City of Tacoma are also supporting the effort. A list of committed farms and companies was recently released.

Estrella Family Creamery will be joined by other well-known local farms including Terry’s Berries, L’Arche Farm & Garden, Evensong, Cottage Gardens, The Bee Lady, Leslee Gardens, Giltner’s Greenhouse, Daisy Chain, Hayton Farms and Full Circle Farm.

Seafood will come from Brady’s Oysters and Rolf’s Choice, whose owner Rolf Torgerson is currently fishing in Alaska to get product for the new market. Meats and poultry will come from Stokesberry Sustainable Farm, Cheryl the Pig Lady, and Toboton Creek Farm.

The market will celebrate a diversity of produce and flowers from Asian immigrant farms including Mee Garden, Vue Meng Farm and Xee Yang Garden.

From east of the mountains, the market will include several fruit and vegetable producers: Martin Family Farm from Cashmere, Alvarez Farms from Mabton, Bautista Farms from Sunnyside, and Collins Family Exotic Fruits of Selah.

We can’t wait.
