JUNE 15, 2008 - The glorious sunshine today came many days too late for several of our producers who sat this Sunday out due to lack of growth over the past week. Our cooler-than-usual Spring has remained a challenge for local growers and consumers. The market had fewer vendors today but the steady stream of customers kept the day worthwhile for most vendors. We are all hoping that the clouds stay away for a few days so that the long anticipated peas and carrots will spring forth and grow with gusto.

This week’s new vendors were Olympic Pastured Poultry with local, organic pastured chicken and Whiskey Hill Farm who brought raw goat’s milk and goat’s milk soaps, and plans to offer raw milk aged cheese in the future. Next week we will be graced by an appearance from Rosa and her famous taco truck, Tuna Dan the Fish Man from Forks with salmon and halibut, and hopefully our full roster of producers will return with their beautiful produce.
