The cold weather will no longer put a damper on farmers' market fun, as the region's first year-round farmers' market, The Scale House Market, held its grand opening on May 31.
Built on the site of an old rock quarry, located at 4422 E. Eighth Ave. in Spokane Valley, the area has been renovated and renatured through a $4.4 million project. It's now a community hub that features a commercial kitchen, classes, an indoor market, seasonal outdoor vendor space and much more.
The market will not only help connect local farmers to the community but also provide support for new businesses and a place for people to reconnect with their food. It's predicted to host 65-plus local farmers and businesses, generating $14 million in annual sales, and creating 155 jobs.
The indoor mercantile is open Wednesdays from 3-7 pm, Fridays from 3-8 pm and Saturdays from 8 am-2 pm. The outdoor market is open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 am-7 pm, Fridays from 11 am-8 pm, Saturdays from 8 am-4 pm, and Sundays from 11 am-4 pm, through Oct. 31.
