To Market, To Market
A revamped, community-sponsored Queen Anne Farmers Market opens this afternoon at three at the corner of Queen Anne North and Crockett, replacing an earlier enterprise that had become mired in politics and recrimination.
Patty Spahr, its director, has assembled a cast of local farmers and food vendors (Skillet, Sorrentino's, Secret Stash) despite hefty obstacles (street use, parking, health inspections, etc.).
Today's grand opening includes a ribbon-cutting by Mayor Nickels and an appearance by food writer Matthew Amster-Burton (aka Mamster), author of Hungry Monkey (about the culinary education of his five-year-old daughter, Iris). Raspberries and strawberries (from Hayton Farms) to all!
