On April 2, the Bellingham Farmers Market will be hosting the beloved “Cabbage Toss” event to kick off the main market season. The Cabbage Toss was put on pause for two years due to Covid. The return of the event marks an important point in the organization’s history, it’s 30th anniversary!
Mayor Seth Fleetwood will participate, as well as Market Director, Lora Liegel, Board President, Tiffany Bell of Ten Fold Farms, and Rika Wong of Buu Chan.
The initial remarks will begin at Depot Market Square’s pavilion at 9:45 am. The farmers market will be open from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Market-goers can expect a wide variety of products from over 80 vendors. This includes fresh produce, flowers, artisan foods, and crafts. All vendors are from Whatcom and Skagit counties. New vendors include Waffles in Paradise, Shambala Ancient Grain Bakery, pH8 Vertical Farm, and Steensman Creamery.
The farmers market continues to be a point of food access for all. SNAP EBT and Pandemic EBT cards are proudly accepted, and transactions can be matched up to $40 for fresh fruits and vegetables. Learn more at the market Information Booth.
