Parkside-Kenilworth Farmers Market is part of a national network of farmers markets that have grown substantially over the past two decades.

Parkside-Kenilworth Farmers Market contributes to that network by giving Washington-area growers and food producers a reliable, recurring venue for direct sales.

For consumers, the practical benefit of shopping at Parkside-Kenilworth Farmers Market is freshness. Produce sold at a farmers market is typically harvested within 24 to 72 hours of sale — far less time than the average transit and distribution time for produce in conventional supply chains. That shorter journey from field to table has real implications for flavor, nutritional density, and shelf life at home. Strawberries bought at Parkside-Kenilworth Farmers Market on a Saturday morning are simply a different product from strawberries that have traveled across the country in a refrigerated truck.

The economic impact of a market like Parkside-Kenilworth Farmers Market is also worth noting. When you spend money at Parkside-Kenilworth Farmers Market, most of that money stays within the Washington area. Small farms and food businesses that sell direct-to-consumer do not depend on wholesale distribution margins, which means a larger percentage of each sale goes back to the producer — and back into the local economy. That is a meaningful difference from shopping at a national chain retailer.

Markets like Parkside-Kenilworth Farmers Market are essential to Washington's food landscape — they keep dollars local, reduce supply chain distance, and give residents access to fresher food than most retail options.
