Scandia Farmers Market

20880 Olinda Trail sets the scene for a market built around local farmers, producers, crafters, and artisans rather than a single narrow specialty. The mix here is broad and distinctly place-based: fresh produce, breads, canned goods, honey, maple syrup, meats, crafts, and other locally grown products all appear in the market’s stated mission. That shows up in the vendor roster too, where flower farms, mushroom growers, bakers, meat producers, and handmade-goods sellers share the same Wednesday market. For a small-town stop, the range is unusually varied, with enough food-focused vendors to shop for dinner and enough plant and craft booths to linger a little longer.

What you'll find there

The strongest thread at Scandia Farmers Market is the overlap between practical grocery shopping and small-scale specialty producers. Fresh staples are well represented, but the lineup also leans into flowers, preserved goods, fiber products, and prepared food that give the market more range than a produce-only stop.

Know before you go

Parking is directed to the Scandia Community Center lot at 14727 209th St N rather than the market address itself, so that’s the detail most likely to shape your arrival plan. The market runs on Wednesdays from May through September, making it more of a midweek stop than a weekend errand. Dogs are not allowed, and restrooms are not available on site. If you’re shopping for specific foods, this is a market where prepared items and pantry goods sit alongside produce and meat: breads, canned goods, honey, maple syrup, and meats are part of the stated focus, and vendors also include food trucks and a juice seller. Green Grocery Shares also operates here with pre-purchased shares benefiting the Scandia Marine Food Shelf at Elim Lutheran Church.
