JULY 6, 2008 - What a nice turn out this week. Colinwood Farm brought 5 of the 12 varieties of potatoes they are growing this year. Snow and snap peas were widely available this week from Red Dog Farm, Dharma Ridge Farm and Wildwood Farm, along with heartier onions and beets that have enjoyed the sun. Calvin the Tarboo Valley Bee man was on hand gathering interest about future bee needs. G&R Quality Seafood served shrimp cocktails and oysters on the half shell. We are so lucky to have Olympic Pastured Poultry and Tuna Dan providing peninsula grown protein in organic chicken and wild salmon, respectively. The Elwha Apiary is now offering a smaller sample size honey along with their regular pints and/or quarts. In case you missed it, Sequim Lavender Company’s Dr. Lavender was profiled in the Peninsula Daily News on Monday, July 7th.

Next weekend is Hadlock Days! While you are in the area come visit the market, support local agriculture and buy the freshest, most nutrient rich items available unless you are growing it yourself. We are hoping for a full house, with Princess Valiant Coffee, Rosa’s Deli-Mex, and our wonderful vendors with their assortment of produce, plants, honey, lavender, seafood, chicken, wool and jams. You can find great ready to eat food and music will be provided all day by Tones of Peace, a fantastic marimba band. Bring your dancing shoes and prepare to enjoy yourself!
