In my book, nothing compares to the flavor of a locally grown tomato. Or cucumber. Or any other vegetable or fruit. The best way to buy produce is to deal directly with the farmer and to select your favorite “just picked” produce. With the Tacoma Farmer’s Markets, Tacoma-ites get two choices. Here they are:

Dome District Location:
Where: East 25th Street between D and G (end of the Link line)

When: Tuesday Market hours: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Season: June 5-Aug. 28

Look for: Fresh, seasonal produce; nursery stock; prepared and packaged foods like jams, jellies and sauces.

Broadway Location

Where: Broadway, between Ninth and Eleventh streets

When: Thursday Market hours: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Season: May 17-Oct. 18

Look for: Fresh, seasonal produce from Washington farmers; seafood; meat; wine; nursery stocks; prepared and packaged foods; concession vendors; artisan vendors selling jewelry, woodworking and other artisan items.
