Flashback Friday 📸

We recently came across this 2007 Seattle Times article titled “The Mavens of Renton Farmers Market – Three Women Who Have It All Together for the New Season.” 💐

The article spotlighted three incredible women whose dedication helped shape the Market into the community gathering place it is today:

✨ Meri England — still a familiar face at the Market each week
✨ Linda Middlebrooks — often spotted at the Market shopping and visiting vendors
✨ Nancy Hoben — deeply missed, but whose spirit and love for the Market continue to be felt throughout our community

Their passion, leadership, and commitment helped build traditions that continue nearly two decades later. We’re grateful for the legacy they created and for everyone who has helped the Renton Farmers Market grow over the years. ❤️

Do you remember these Market mavens?

Also - shoutout to the Kent Farmers Market also mentioned in the article!

Flashback Friday: Vendor edition 🌱

Featuring Sidhu Farms (2007), Fernandez Farms (2013), and Two If By Seafoods (2014). All three are still going strong in 2026—and even better, they’re being passed down to the next generation.

Farmers markets aren’t just places to shop—they’re where community grows, families build legacies, and connections span generations. Love seeing these stories continue 💚
