About Us
| Port Orchard Farmers Market is located at Marina Park in Port Orchards historic downtown Waterfront District. It is one of the largest and oldest Saturday Farmers Markets in Western Washington. Farmers, food sellers and artisan vendors gather here, rain or shine, on Saturdays beginning April 26. The Saturday Market makes it easy to find what our customers need. After 30 years at the Waterfront, The Port Orchard Farmers Market is still a great place to find fresh fruits, vegetables, farm fresh eggs, seafood, herbs and mushrooms in season; fresh and dried flowers and bouquets; fresh jams, honey and baked goods. There's a huge selection of plants of all kinds and plenty of great, hot food for breakfast or lunch. Local artists & artisans offer unique products for gift, home & garden. We've also got Master Gardeners on duty with free garden advice. The Kitsap Regional Farmers' Market association was established in 1978 through the efforts of Chris Smith, Kitsap County Cooperative Extension agent (retired 1998). The Soil Conservation service, Rural Development Committee and several Port Orchard merchants were also key to it's inception. The primary goal in 1978 was to educate the public. To help preserve the agricultural identity and quality of rural life by providing a place for our local farmers to market their produce & farm products to the communities of the Kitsap Peninsula. The prices are great and the consumer dollar stays local. There are many Special Events during our 30th Anniversary Season. We also offer spaces in the Market for Childrens Activities, Music, Entertainment; Art, Skill or Craft Demonstrations; Information and Education space for Clubs, Non-Profits and Community Service Organizations and Local schools. So walk, Bike or Drive to the Historic Downtown Waterfront or take the foot ferry from Bremerton. Join Us! It's going to be a great year! |
