It’s a fresh season for farmers markets in the Tri-Cities.

The Pasco Farmers Market kicks off May 10. This year, Pasco is launching an interactive map on the city’s website and Pasco Farmers Market Facebook page.

During the event, the online map will show updated vendor information and their locations in the market pavilion at Peanuts Park in downtown Pasco.

This Saturday’s market will feature products such as organic produce, fresh flowers and bread from bakeries new to the Pasco market.



Schreiber Farms is a staple at various markets in the area.

Customers can expect to find organic asparagus, herbs, micro greens and lettuce mix at the booth this weekend. The produce is grown in greenhouses and fields in Eltopia and Basin City.

Farmers market coordinator Damien Davis told the Tri-City Herald that Schreiber Farms also will be selling new products exclusive to the Pasco market this year.
