April 4th will see the return of the Bellingham Farmers Market, a longstanding Saturday tradition that draws shoppers and vendors from all across the region. The Market has been in operation since 1993, and has grown quite a bit since then. Originally starting in June, the Market now runs from April to December, with an additional Winter Market once a month in January, February, and March. A corresponding Fairhaven market began in the mid 90’s, and is now overseen by the same organization as the Bellingham market. The scope of the operation has changed as well, with some vendors leaving, and even more joining up each year. Below you’ll find a list of the new vendors that you’ll be able to find during the 2015 season of the Bellingham Farmers Market:
