Shoreline Farmers Market Announces New Season and GiveBIG 2024 FundraiserThe Shoreline Farmers Market (SFM) has been a cornerstone of our community for twelve seasons, connecting neighbors, supporting local farmers and businesses, and providing access to fresh, nutritious food for all. The Shoreline Farmers Market, located at the BikeLink Park & Ride (corner of 192nd & Aurora, across from Sky Nursery) begins Season 13 on Saturday, June 1st, from 10am - 2pm and continues every Saturday through October 5th. SFM has also partnered with local leaders for their second annual PRIDE celebration on June 15th. 
Also announced is the SFM GiveBIG 2024 fundraising effort.
