My family and I were excited to discover this little gem of a market in Kent. We live 15 mins. away in Covington and take every opportunity to stop by Carpinito's whenever we're passing through or in the area. They have wonderful seasonal vegetables and plants. The staff are friendly and eager to help and answer any questions. Yeah, I agree that parking can be improved.

My family and I go there for produce in the Spring and Summer, pumpkins in the Fall, and Christmas trees and poinsettias in the Winter.
We live very close, the prices are great, and we love supporting our local farmers.
Yes the parking sucks, as well as getting out of the parking lot, but as the saying goes "Don't sweat the small stuff"

Carpinito's has an excellent reputation amongst gardeners and the locals. These are the people with the bark hills that you can see from 167. They have fabulous beauty bark. My old neighbors and I took my minivan down there one spring day and came back with 28 of those HUGE bags of beauty bark. Great deal too, if you buy it directly from them instead of from one of the several grocery stores that they supply. They have a great variety of veggies during the summer months at great deals. They are not organic though...which is the only bummer.
They also operate the pumpkin patch and corn maze (one of the best ones by far!) off the 277th exit on highway 167 during the Fall. We come here every year to get our pumpkins, as it's so much fun for the kiddies. Carpinito Bros is terrific, and with their family service and unique, quality offerings, I'm always up for the drive here. And yes, the parking lot sucks!

This place is a good size and things are pretty well organized. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was pleased with the prices. The only bad thing I would say is that the parking lot isn't all that easy to get in/out of, and there isn't really a good load/unload zone. I don't know that I'd travel here from Seattle, but if you're in this general area, this is the place to go!
