FARMERS MARKETS IN SKAGIT COUNTY
Every summer weekend in Skagit County you can find a farmers market to visit near you. Many farmers markets begin in late spring and run through October. It's one of those fun events to explore with your kids because every weekend is different. Our family likes to find fun and fresh ingredients to try for summer dinners on Saturday nights.
Take the time to check out all of the farmers markets that Skagit County has to offer. They all have different farms from Skagit County and all over Washington state selling their fresh produce. There are also local artisans selling their products at the markets and many of the markets have activities for kids happening all day long.
