Music at the Market
Guilded Lilly duo is back to help celebrate the end of another amazing farmers market season!
Tacoma's Guilded Lilly duo of Nance and Victor entertain audiences of all ages with their Indie Folk Blues Rock fusion of originals and covers to tantalize music lovers of all genres. No strangers to the BCFM, they love to perform and make music to MOVE you!
Bring your chairs or picnic blankets and enjoy fall at the park with some sweet tunes!
Thanks as always to our generous sponsor Bremerton Typewriter Company!
Vendor Spotlight at the Market
This Thursday, October 9th's Vendor Spotlight is George Stenberg Photography! An award winning photographer who captures the beauty of the Kitsap Peninsula like no one else.
"For years George Stenberg has made Hood Canal his home, as well as his premier subject for photography. No other photographer even comes close to capturing the people, scenes and splendor of Hood Canal, the deep saltwater fjord on the edge of the Olympics."
When you come by the market be sure to pick up a couple copies of his Beautiful Hood Canal 2026 Calendar for yourself and as gifts! And find postcards, cards, wall art and so much more celebrating the beauty of our home.
Learn more about George in the market website spotlight article and be sure to follow him to see more of his stunning photography.

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!
