WIC/SENIOR FMNP Is Happening!

WIC & Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program participants are now able to use their benefits at the Bremerton Community Farmers Market at the following farms: Davis Flower Farm, Forest Frog Farms, Fuentes Fresh Farm, and Taylor's Honey Farm (seniors only).

NOTE: Seniors, after you receive your benefits card, it will take one week for your FMNP benefits to be loaded onto your benefit card. Please call the number on the back of the card to check that your benefits are loaded before you shop. If you get a message that your card is invalid, that means that your benefits have not been loaded yet.

If you have any questions on how to use your benefits, or to sign up for Senior FMNP, stop by the Market Info Booth.

Park it at the Market

We know finding a spot to park for the market isn't always easy so wanted to share a place to park you might not know about and a few places to watch out for. 

Our neighbors just a couple blocks away on Park street, Kitsap Community Resources (KCR), have very graciously allowed parking in their lot after 4:30pm. We greatly appreciate their generosity to us and our community where they do so much for so many! 

CJ's Evergreen General Store is another fantastic advocate of our market and community, please remember that the 30-minute parking directly in front of the store is for their customers only.

And we kindly ask you to be considerate neighbors by parking only in designated areas. Note that the boating area has only four designated parking spots for market parking. Vehicles parked outside these four spots in the boating area may be ticketed by Parking Enforcement. Yikes!

Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you for another stellar market day!

Kitsap Harvest at the Market

The mission at Kitsap Harvest is to minimize produce waste and provide fresh, nutritious, and locally sourced fruits and vegetables directly to low-income housing, senior centers, recovery facilities, shelters, and soup kitchens within Kitsap County. The Grow-A-Row program bolsters this mission by inviting gardeners of all levels, from experts to enthusiasts, to cultivate and contribute surplus produce. Weekly donation stations are established throughout the county for collections, including at the Bremerton Community Farmers Market.

Engage in the fight against food insecurity and food waste by supporting the growth of Kitsap County's capacity for sustainable, community driven care. For additional details, visit Programs – Kitsap Harvest or inquire at the market's information booth.

REDUCE FOOD WASTE. DONATE FRESH PRODUCE.

Don't Forget Your Market Tokens

You know those market tokens you've been holding onto? Those tokens are MONEY! The $5 tokens are as good as cash, and all vendors accept them. The $1 tokens are exclusively for SNAP recipients and can be used for purchases typically made with an EBT card. If you have any SNAP Market Match coupons, don't leave them behind. We will honor expired ones, and they can be used with our produce farmers and produce reseller vendors. Bring those tokens to the market and shop!
