Floating Farmers' Market - climb aboard the Virginia V in Lake Union Park Wharf - fresh, local produce, right off the boat

My husband brought this information to me.  The website is http://www.farmboat.org/, and the floating market is open from 11-3 on Thursdays until July 28th.  It looks like it might go longer -it's just that their online schedule doesn't go past the end of July.

My husband brought this information to me today.  I had no idea that it existed.  Fantastic idea, sort of like a floating farmers' market, or Full Circle with a steam engine.  (The website is http://www.farmboat.org/, and the boat/market is open from 11-3 on Thursdays until July 28th.  It looks like it might go longer - it's just that their online schedule doesn't go past the end of July.

From www.farmboat.org:
"Vendors display locally grown produce, specialty foods and artisan crafts on board the 125' wooden vessel--just as it was done a century ago. Market visitors can tour the ship for free and learn about Puget Sound agricultural and maritime heritage while they shop. (There is plenty of space on deck to enjoy lunch with fantastic shoreline views of downtown Seattle and Lake Union).

How can you not RSVP to this party?  I love the Virginia V, so I will be there this Thursday, and would love to see the rest of you there.

Ess, bench, sei a mensch!
