Music at the Market
This week's musical guest is Toby Hanson, a professional accordionist with nearly three decades of experience delighting audiences with his thrilling and engaging performances. From the liveliest polkas to the most romantic musettes, his passion for the accordion shines through in everything he does.
Bring your blankets and chairs, get something to eat from one of our excellent vendors, and come out and enjoy Toby Hanson!
Huge thanks to Bremerton Typewriter Company for generously sponsoring Music at the Market!
Vendor Spotlight at the Market
de Lessart Studio is this week's Vendor Spotlight. Read about Duane de Lessart and his business in this article, then visit him Thursday, May 8th, from 4pm to 7pm, at the farmers market. The Vendor Spotlight booth will be the first booth to the left as you enter the market.
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!

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.
