Support Your Local Farmers Markets in Pierce and Kitsap Counties
Markets are an important part of the summer for many farmers, and for their surrounding communities. In dense urban populations where access to fresh fruits and vegetables can be limited, they offer access to fresh, healthy foods. Each market is a unique community gathering place, where local families can shop for food as well as find fresh cut flowers, artisan baked goods, jewelry, art, and so much more.
