Seattle Produce Stands To Check Out When You’re Tired Of QFC

We can all agree that big-name supermarkets have been a pretty stressful place to be during the last six months. And even though there are plenty of great restaurants selling groceries, pantry staples, and meal kits, a lot of those situations don’t take you very far if you’re planning to make something produce-heavy, like a garden salad, minestrone soup, or two whole gallons of green juice.

So, we thought you could use a list of farm stands across the entire Seattle area. These spots sell tons of fruit, vegetables, and more - we’ve noted which markets offer a little something extra, from local honey and homemade candy to more seasonal items like Christmas trees and pumpkins.
