The Port Angeles Farmers' Market, http://www.kaleberg.com/portangeles/market/index.html
is held on Saturdays in the Clallam County Courthouse parking lot and highlights locally grown produce, crafts and other food products. Farmers may come and go, but the market is anchored by Nash Huber, Christy Johnston and the Vanderhoofs West Wind Farm. Clallam County produces some of the nation's finest dark leafy green vegetables, including broccoli, kale, chard, and brussels sprouts. You can usually find local potatoes, red, white and blue, and lumpy looking Ozettes which were introduced by the Spanish directly from South America. In the summer, Dry Creek Farm sells their organic eggs, but many of the farmers sell eggs all year 'round, so do ask. Depending on the climate and season, you can find tomatoes, garlic scapes, strawberries, pears and wonderful spinach and arugula. The farmers are not the only ones setting up tents. You'll also find the Elwha Apiary selling honey, local craft vendors selling soaps and lavender products, and a variety of baked goods.
Needless to say, the best timse to come are in the summer and fall, but local farmers have produce throughout the year. It's always worth dropping by.

The Port Townsend Farmers Market, http://www.ptfarmersmarket.org/
holds its Annual Market Membership and Board Meeting this week on Wednesday, December 12th at 7:00 p.m. at the Quimper Grange at the intersection of Sheridan and Corona Streets in Port Townsend. After receiving a comprehensive assessment of the state of market affairs, market members will nominate and elect candidates to the Board of Directors. The market encourages the public to attend.
Market sales continued to grow this year, despite lower farm yields due to weather and one fewer market day. Events at the market helped to spread awareness about the importance and quality of local food, and many backyard growers experimented with vending for a day. The vibrant weekly celebrations continued to be a centerpiece of our community in Jefferson County.
