BurienFarmers13poster

The Discover Burien Farmers Market’s runs from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. every Thursday at Town Square Park.

As usual, B-Town’s original, award-winning blog will be present on the first Thursday of each month at this unique weekly event that runs through Oct. 31. Come meet your original, professional local bloggers who’ve been posting news and events since Dec. 2007!

Stock up on fresh produce, locally-crafted food items and one-of-kind handicrafts at the market, which is located in Burien Town Square Park on SW 152nd and 5th Place SW (map below).

“A major benefit of shopping at the market is better prices for fresher food,” according to Debra George, Event Manager for Discover Burien, which operates the market. “The fresh-from-the-fields fruit and vegetables are from Washington State farmers, mostly local, who sell directly to market customers.”

Here’s more from a press release:

Don’t miss new market eatables that include locally concocted Full Tilt ice cream and chocolate biscotti. Among the many returning food vendors, expect to see organic berries and other organic produce, freshly baked goods, shaved ice and hand-made dried pasta.

New this year, handcrafted wood furniture will join the line-up of unique handicrafts. Greenery will feature freshly cut flowers of all sorts and such plantable vegetation as rhododendrons and rose bushes.

Buy lunch from the market’s hotdog cart and other market vendors for a great price to eat al fresco at one of the market’s patio tables. Enjoy live music by Eric “Two Scoops” Moore from Noon to 3 p.m.

Buskers are sought to perform live music from 3 to 6 p.m. for tips, and they may also sell their CDs. Check-in at the yellow Discover Burien tent is required before busking.

The Seattle Humane Society MaxMobile will park at the market on the second Thursday of each month for on-the-spot adoption of loving pets.

Market customers may make their purchases with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, debit cards, WIC or EBT cards. Some vendors accept credit cards directly. Otherwise, shoppers can use debit, credit or EBT cards by purchasing market tokens at the Discover Burien Association booth. Debit and credit tokens can be spent like cash with the majority of the market’s 40-plus vendors. The nonprofit Discover Burien will not charge a fee for debit card use.

Discover Burien is a nonprofit organization that works on Burien’s economic development, promotion and education.

Sponsored primarily by Prudential Northwest Realty Associates, LLC, the market will be situated on Fifth Place Southwest off Southwest 152nd Street in Burien Town Square. For more information, call 206-433-2882 or go online to www.discoverburien.com.

2nd annual ‘Burien Bites’ to benefit local charities will be Sunday, June 2

704486_391917860902897_427831629_o

The second annual ‘Burien Bites‘ – a food-centric fundraiser that benefits local charities – will take place on Sunday, June 2, with check-in starting at 11 a.m.

The bite will run from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m., with an after and awards party at HomeTask from 6 – 9 p.m.

Event registration fee is $10 per person, and guests can visit multiple local restaurants, where they can purchase a special bite for $5.

“We are always trying to find new ways to help the community and organizing Burien Bites is a fantastic way for people to have fun and be generous towards those who need our help,” said HomeTask CEO Jerrod Sessler. “It also brings our community which is all about the people together to build relationships”.

This homegrown event, created by HomeTask, allows people the opportunity to visit multiple restaurants for a bite to benefit local charities, including:

  • Highline Schools Foundation
  • New Futures
  • YETI
  • Highline Food Bank
  • HomeTask Cares Foundation

This event is a follow up to the “Top Chef” event of March 20, when over 120 people gathered in addition to around 40 members from participating restaurants and volunteer film crews for each restaurant (read our previous coverage here). Official event Food Critics choose the “Food Critics Awards” while the guests spoke for themselves with the “People’s Choice Awards.”

“Now it is in the public’s hands to vote and decide who will win the 2013 Burien Bites event,” reads an announcement. “Everyone is highly encouraged to participate and be sure to cast votes using the Burien Bites mobile app.”
