Music at the Market

Bring in the fall season at the farmers market with the outstanding music of Fred Meyer, The Hurdy Gurdy Man!

The Hurdy Gurdy Man plays a traditional French instrument called a hurdy gurdy that uses a wheel to bow gut strings that sounds much like a bagpipe. Watching and listening to him play puts you back in time on the cobble stone streets of old Pairs.

It always draws a crowd!

Thanks as always to our generous sponsor Bremerton Typewriter Company!

Vendor Spotlight at the Market

This Thursday's vendor spotlight is also a new vendor to your market! Read more about them in this article and let's give a warm welcome to TJ's-Bees!

Come by and say hi to Daniel and Owen and check out their all natural candles and skincare including skin and beard balms. Learn more about their bees, Chimacum farm and their dedication to faith, community and education and maybe pick up a magnet or hoodie perfect for Fall.

Be sure to try their amazing new Canna-Bee Balm! Customers are sharing how their skin has transformed for the better. You will feel the difference real ingredients make--hemp seed oil, unrefined shea butter, beeswax, almond oil, and pure orange and lavender essential oils. No fillers, no junk—just nourishing ingredients your skin will love.​

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!
