Good Year for Port Townsend Farmers Market

Port Townsend Farmers Market vendors had a much better year — better by $85,000 — than in 2008.

The market director said: “This was our biggest year ever. We saw our most vendors, most sales and most customers in 2009. It was a solid year of growth.”

Hopefully the Port Angeles Farmers Market also did better this year than in 2008. (Here’s their website.) Their Gateway location seems to have more vendors and customers than when they were at the Courthouse parking lot.

The Farmers’ Market

OK, Port Angelinos — ARE YOU READY?!? Mark your calendars for this coming Saturday, April 21st. The Farmers’ Market will be returning to downtown Port Angeles — for this one Saturday only. They’ll be in the parking lot at First and North Laurel, next to The Toggery; across the street from the fountain. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Details here.

And that’s not all. Along with the Farmers’ Market there'll be an Earth Day celebration and live music. Don't miss it.

Downtown rocks!

UPDATE:

Today’s Peninsula Daily News has an interesting article about the Port Townsend Farmers Market. For some reason this article doesn’t appear in the printed version of the paper; it’s online only. Here’s the link.

The Port Townsend Farmers Market’s website is very detailed and might have some helpful information that we can use here in Port Angeles. Here's their site.

It was great having the Farmers Market back downtown on a Saturday. People were shopping and strolling everywhere. Downtown was ALIVE.

Looking forward to having the Farmers Market return to downtown Port Angeles every Wednesday, starting this June.
