Anchorage Farmers Market

WIC and Senior Farmers Market Coupons are accepted by some vendors at Anchorage Farmers Market, and some vendors also take QUEST, making this Saturday market a practical stop for shoppers using nutrition benefits alongside cash or cards. The market sets up at 15th Avenue and Cordova Street in the Central Lutheran Church parking lot, with a seasonal run from mid-May into October. Its vendor roster points to a distinctly Alaska mix: farms, flowers, a food truck, bakery offerings, and a market note that emphasizes “100% Alaska”.

Why it matters locally

The market’s own emphasis on “100% Alaska” gives Anchorage Farmers Market a clear local frame, connecting shoppers with Alaska-grown and Alaska-made goods in one weekly stop. That shows up in the vendor roster, which includes farms such as A.D. Farm, Arctic Organics, Seldovitsch Farm, Stockwell Farm, and Vang Family Garden rather than a generic resale mix.

Season timing matters here too. The market runs from May into October, and its updates note that August and September are the best times for fresh produce, while another post mentions a slow-to-start growing season that brought some farms in later than usual. Those details make the market feel tied to Alaska’s short growing window, with weekly offerings shifting as farms catch up and peak harvest arrives.

What you'll find there

The vendor list leans agricultural first, then rounds out with prepared food, sweets, and flowers. Market updates also suggest that what appears week to week can shift with the season, including fresh blooms, more fresh produce, fermented foods, eggs, breads, cookies, and gluten-free options.

• -Find produce and farm goods from A.D. Farm.
• -Look for Alaska-grown offerings from Arctic Organics.
• -Shop Ba-Lescas Brothers for farm products at the market.
• -Grab a meal from the Feed Me Hope food truck.
• -Pick up cut flowers and dahlia-focused blooms from Hatcher Pass Dahlias.
• -Browse seasonal farm products from Seldovitsch Farm.
• -Check Stockwell Farm for farm-grown goods.
• -Stop by Turkey Red, part of the current vendor lineup.
• -See what Vang Family Garden is bringing during the season.
• -Expect cakes and baked sweets from Want More Cake, Co., which joined for the full season.
• -Catch Choua Yang among the listed vendors.

Seasonal notes add useful context for timing. One market update says there are fresh blooms and more fresh produce every week, another points to August and September as the strongest stretch for fresh produce, and a later post highlights fermented foods as part of the mix. A 2024 update also called out fresh eggs, cookies, breads, and gluten-free options, which helps explain the prepared-food side beyond the farm names alone.

Know before you go

No dogs is the clearest planning detail here, so visitors bringing pets will need to adjust before heading over. The market is held in the Central Lutheran Church parking lot at 15th Avenue and Cordova Street, and it offers easy access plus free parking in that lot.

Timing can shape what you see. The market’s season runs from mid-May to October, and its own updates note that produce peaks later in summer, especially in August and September. Another post mentions that some farms joined later during a slow-to-start growing season, so week-to-week variety can reflect where Alaska farms are in the season rather than a fixed lineup.

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Anchorage Farmers Market.
