Music at the Market
Welcome back Guilded Lilly! They will be our Opening Day Music at the Market for the third year in a row!!! Nance Veltkamp, Jared Oliver, and Victor Payne will be playing and singing a mix of indie folk blues rock originals and covers for your listening enjoyment. So, grab some dinner and pull up a chair and prepared to be entertained by Guilded Lilly!
Huge thanks to Bremerton Typewriter Company for generously sponsoring Music at the Market and to our wonderful assistant manager Katie for setting it up each week!
Don't Forget Your Market Tokens
Now that spring is here, dust off those market tokens you've been holding onto and run...don't walk...to the farmers market! 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. It's time to shop!
Kids Market Bucks Club
Just ask this kid how much fun you can have at the Kids Market Bucks Club. She won a prize for attending ALL of the kid's club activities held during the 2024 Market Season!
Kids Market Buck Club is always held on the first Thursday of the month. This week, kids 3 to 12 years of age will have a super fun coloring page provided by a talented young artist at the Bremerton Youth Arts Hive. Marigold and other fun seeds will also be available for kids to plant in pots and take home!
A big shout out to the Bremerton Rotary Club for sponsoring this year's Kids Market Bucks Club!!

Parking at the Market
Finding a place to park at the market can be difficult at best! We kindly ask you to be considerate neighbors by parking only in designated areas. Kitsap Community Resources has graciously made their parking lot available after 4:30 PM, located just two blocks away. 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. Please do not park in front of C.J.'s Evergreen General Store. That is 30-minute parking for customers of that business only. We appreciate your cooperation!
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.
