The Delridge Farmers Market, put on by African Community Housing & Development, is thrilled to announce its third season in the Delridge neighborhood of Seattle.
The holistic community market prioritizes success for BIPOC business owners and healthy food for the Southwest Seattle region. The market’s opening day is Saturday, May 20th 2023 and runs through October 28th 2023. Community can attend the market every Saturday from 10 am-2 pm at 9421 18th Ave SW between SW Cambridge St and SW Roxbury St.
The Delridge Farmers Market is centered around the principle of abundance and is run by a Black-women-led nonprofit organization, African Community Housing & Development, serving the African Diaspora community in the Greater Seattle Area. The market has become a vital space for small businesses to sell their products and a buzzing social hub for neighbors to enjoy fresh, nourishing food and free resources like plant starts, diapers, and more.
The Delridge Farmers Market is a critical resource for the neighborhood, where it is often more than a 15-minute walk or bike ride to the nearest supermarket. In 2022, over 12,000 pounds of produce were distributed as free grab-and-go produce bags and as direct food assistance for elders and food-insecure community members.
The market features a diverse range of vendors, selling fresh produce, flowers, prepared food, and more. The market also accepts SNAP/EBT (SNAP users can double their dollar by purchasing from a farmers market!), Fresh Bucks, and WIC/Senior FMNP. African Community Housing & Development also offers Kid Bucks: every kid who attends the market gets a $5 voucher to spend on food.
“ACHD is committed to creating a vibrant, welcoming, and abundant market that serves the Delridge neighborhood. We encourage everyone to come every Saturday to support our local vendors and be in community,” said ACHD Associate Director Bilan Aden.

Hey everybody! I’m putting together a little “park party” at Westcrest Dog Park for anyone who wants to volunteer and help out this Saturday, Oct. 21st, at 10:30 am. Unfortunately, there’s no funding left for us at the moment, but I will try and bring some coffee and snacks to get started. There are plenty of tools to go around but it can’t hurt to bring any if you got’em. Especially outdoor gloves. The biggest things to get done before the real rainy season comes are getting rid of the last blackberry bushes and filling in holes. Spread the word as its a great way to get volunteer hours if you want em, and I’ll put up some signs tomorrow/Wednesday at the park as another reminder. See you all then and reach out if you have any questions, concerns or ideas!
Regular weekly family reading time.
