Music at the Market

Enjoy live music every week! This week's feature is Carsonics! A versatile composer and performer, Carsonics is a University of Washington music graduate who has showcased his talents across Asia, Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, and California. Discover Carson Farley's diverse musical styles on SoundCloud.


A big thank you to Bremerton Office Machine Company for their continued sponsorship of Music at the Market in 2024! To show your gratitude, think about visiting their store at 245 4th Street, Suite 503, in Downtown Bremerton. You may just find a vintage typewriter that turns into your next cherished find!

 



Kids Market Bucks Club

It's Kids Day this Thursday, September 5th! Stop by the Kids Booth to meet the Banana Buddies from Kitsap Public Health District. They have prepared some simple and fun physical activities for your children that encourage exercise and movement.


Remember to check in at the red table by the Kids Booth first to earn $6 in Market Bucks per child! Kids Market Bucks can be used to purchase fresh produce and are redeemable with any produce vendor at BCFM.


See you at the market!

 


Did you know you can use your child's Sun Bucks card at the Bremerton Community Farmers Market? Visit the Market Info Booth for more information.


 




Round Up All Those Market Tokens

Remember to bring your market tokens when visiting our vendors. 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 can be used with our produce farmers and produce reseller vendors.

 




Do you have an idea you think will transform the Bremerton Community Farmers Market? Have you taken an awesome photo at the market you'd like to share? Or has your child has drawn a picture of their favorite vegetable from a farm vendor? If so...please let us know in the Suggestion Box located at the Market Info Booth. We would love to highlight pictures, poems, thank you notes to our wonderful volunteers, vendors, or staff, or an actual suggestion! Please include your name and phone number if you'd like to be entered into this month's drawing for $10 in BCFM market tokens. Of course, you are welcome to stay anonymous if you'd wish. Let's use this resource and start a dialogue about our WONDERFUL farmers market. We value your input...whatever it is!

 


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. In 2022, the BCFM alone amassed over 900 pounds of produce, generously donated by individual gardeners, farm vendors, and patrons who bought extra to give.


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.

 



Do You Love the Market? Let Everyone Know!

Businesses, including farmers markets, rely on reviews from the community to get feedback from customers. It also helps businesses get found easier online, builds trust with consumers, and facilitates word-of-mouth advertising. But more importantly, reviews help businesses know what they are doing well and what needs improvement. The Bremerton Community Farmers Market invites you to leave a review on any of the following platforms:
