The cold weather will no longer put a damper on farmers market fun, with the opening of the Scale House Market, the region’s first year-round farmers market, on May 31. The grand opening includes live music, chef demonstrations, food trucks, giveaways and much more. Built on the site of an old quarry, the new community hub for agriculture features a commercial kitchen, classes, an indoor market, a 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.
The Scale House Market • Sat, May 31 from 8 am-2 pm (Mercantile open until 4 pm) • 4422 E. Eighth Ave., Spokane Valley • thescalehousemarket.com
