Eric Connolly sets out his produce — mushrooms — at his Puget Sound Mushroom booth before the opening of 2023 Queen Anne Farmers Market on Thursday on Crockett Street in Queen Anne.
This is Connolly’s inaugural year selling his produce at the farmers market, and he will return every week throughout the summer.
‘I love it. I get to chill out here in the sun and earn a living,’ said Connolly, who grows his mushrooms in Yelm and graduated from Evergreen University with a focus in agriculture. ‘You just get to be outside and talk to customers who are interested in local product.’
The Queen Anne Farmers Market continues from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. every Thursday throughout the summer.
