Wednesdays this month, a floating farmers market is docking up at Lake Union Park from noon to 7pm.

The market was created by an organization called Farmboat, which aims to revive a century-old tradition of dockside delivery in the Puget Sound. The Lake Union market is something of a test run, according to the website Farmboat eventually hopes to run three delivery boats between "Orcas, Lopez, Friday Harbor, Bellingham, Anacortes, La Conner, Coupeville, Langely, Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Poulsbo, Everett, Edmonds, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Seattle, Des Moines, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Olympia."

So what can you buy? In addition to produce, there are homemade crafts, jams and honey, premade baking mixes, garlic, onions, and potatoes from Willowood farm in Coupeville, fresh flowers, and dried fruits and spices.

Farmboat is also planning a CSA—members will pick up fresh produce at a designated dock.
