Located in the parking lot at 319 W Hastings Road Tuesdays 3:00pm - 7:00pm Fairwood Farmers Market Mission: To establish a vibrant North Spokane farmers’ market where neighbors can regularly connect with local growers, artisan food producers, and crafters in a festive environment. Fairwood Farmers Market Vision: To revitalize and complete the Fairwood District in North Spokane, with new shops, mixed use development, a sustainable farmers’ market, and bicycle friendly trails – making it a connected, pedestrian friendly community. Redevelopment will involve multiple stakeholders and should capitalize on Fairwood’s proximity to the Little Spokane River, Mead Schools, the historic Bozarth Mansion, the Kalispel Golf and Country Club, and the new Children of the Sun trail along the North Spokane Corridor. FLSRV is a strong supporter of this Market because their Vision includes caring for The Little Spokane River that lies in close proximity to the Fairwood Neighborhood.
