Sitka Farmers Market

Sitka Farmers Market is hosted by the Sitka Local Foods Network, a nonprofit focused on increasing the amount of locally produced and harvested food in the diets of Southeast Alaskans. That mission gives this market a distinct shape: it is not only a place to shop on Saturday mornings, but also an outlet tied directly to local growing and food access work. In Sitka, where season and supply can narrow quickly, that emphasis on local production feels especially concrete. The market runs at 235 Katlian Street and draws together produce, prepared food, and locally made goods in a compact weekly window from June through September.

What you'll find there

The strongest throughline here is food tied closely to Sitka’s own growing and harvesting network, with a smaller-market mix that also includes handmade goods and prepared items. Visitors have specifically pointed to fresh vegetables, baked goods, fry bread, Navajo tacos, jewelry, and artwork among the regular draws.

• -Find produce grown through St. Peter’s Fellowship Farm, where lead gardener Laura Schmidt helps raise most of the produce sold by the Sitka Local Foods Network at the market.
• -Look for market sales connected to the Sitka Local Foods Network’s own produce program, overseen by staff and volunteers tied to the organization.
• -Spot baked goods and prepared foods, including fry bread and Navajo tacos, highlighted by one visitor reviewing the market’s Saturday offerings.
• -Browse locally made items such as jewelry and artwork that visitors have described as part of the market mix.
• -Watch for seasonal specialties like beach asparagus from Gimbal Botanicals, called out by one visitor as a standout purchase.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, a detail worth planning around before you head to 235 Katlian Street for the Saturday market. SNAP/EBT is accepted, and the market also notes cash and check payments through its market manager, Debe Brincefield. Restrooms are not available on-site, so shorter visits may be easier to manage, especially if you are shopping with kids or timing a quick stop between other Sitka plans. The market’s host organization has also noted using both indoor and outdoor space at ANB Hall, with the layout shifting indoors when the vendor count is smaller. That flexible setup matters in Southeast Alaska, where weather and weekly participation can shape how the market feels from one Saturday to the next.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Sitka Farmers Market, an important fit with the Sitka Local Foods Network’s broader mission around local food access in Southeast Alaska. The market also references cash and check payments through market manager Debe Brincefield. Payment details are clearer here than at many small seasonal markets, which helps if you are planning a produce-focused stop.
