Reviews
Had a pretty wide selection of crafts and artisan items. Not too many produce from farmers tho but that’s a given since we’re in Alaska. I was able to find a hand knit qivuit beanie so that was awesome.
Interesting to walk through and see what vendors had to offer. When we were there in June, on vacation from southeast Iowa, it appeared to be more of a craft show.
This is the place to be and be seen:-). Great people watching with down home folks and their goods. interesting booths that included fungi, and other local grown and hand made goods. Foods of many nationalities.
Great selection of produce, baked goods, jarred goods, honey, fudge, kettlecorn etc as well as hot foods. They also have handcrafted items, art pieces, and photography type booths. In spring you often can find local starts for the garden here too which is awesome! This is a really well-rounded local market.
I enjoyed strolling around the market to buy some fresh produce, honey, mushrooms, .. arts and crafts. The aroma from international food vendors made me so hungry. There are shady and picnic areas.
We are so happy the Farmer's Market is open again for the season! We picked up our mandatory kettle corn supply, got Thai food, and bought tomato plants and lemon cucumber plants from one vendor, squash from another, and sunflowers and nasturtiums from yet another. Great art for sale, paintings, painted hand crafted benches, gorgeous photography from Denali Park and more. Honey, bread -- and the lady who makes the most deliciously beautiful and amazing little cakes that look like fresh fruits is open here -- I last saw her booth at a winter crafts show. Local t-shirts, children's toys, beautiful jewelry, more aromatic food vendors, and another woman who combines t-shirt panels with flannel shirts for some witty and wearable warmth. There are numerous picnic tables in the shady treed area behind the food vendors. And a one way parking lot and exit! If you don't find a parking spot in your row, then turn left back onto College, drive 1/8 mile and turn left back into the parking lot. I haven't ever had to do this, but I have seen people try to drive the wrong way, studiously ignoring all the clues about them. Please don't be one of those people. And if you're chilly, stop in to The Woodway right next door to the Tanana Valley Farmer's Market to warm up and see some beautiful fireplace and stove ideas.
Quite a variety of vendors. I do wish there were more actual fruit and vegetable vendors, but maybe that will come farther into the summer. Great place to pick up herb plants 🌿 🪴 …
Absolutely love the farmers market. I think it's open Weds and Sat. I always go on Sat and there's always a good amount of vendors selling anything from cookies to fruits and vegetables to custom wood benches and art. Definitely worth the look if you're needing something to do on the weekend.
