Farmers Market season is back in Tri-Cities. Where you can get fresh food, handmade goods
Farmers market season is upon us — now you can look through rows and rows of local vendors with food, drinks, handmade products and more while strolling through an iconic Tri-Cities location. The only question is which location, or locations, you’ll choose to check out.
The Tri-Cities area is home to a multitude of farmers markets, some located in historic places like the Parkway in Richland and the Columbia River Warehouse. There are also newer thriving locations like Summer’s Hub in Kennewick and in or around businesses, like the 3 Eyed Fish Farmers Market.
