Hi all: I wanted to let you know about a great little Farmer's Market here in Bellevue. It's all organic which suits our region well and there are probably as many as 40 vendors peddling everything from fresh vegetables and fruit to grass fed beef.

A friend of mine helps with the Bellevue Farmer's Market and I was impressed with the new venue. It's located in the parking lot of the old Safeway store right downtown.

One of the great things about the Northwest is access to fresh produce, etc. Of course, we have the world famous Pike Place Market where they toss huge salmon. But we also have other great Farmer's Markets in the cities of Burien, Renton, Kent, Maple Valley and Olympia, for example.

If you haven't visited a Farmer's Market recently, I encourage you to go. They're really fun and you feel like you're not only paronizing the small independent grower but eating right at the same time. Do you have Farmer's Markets where you live? If so, you are a lucky person. Have a great day!
