Food is the great universal topic. Go anywhere and talk with just about anyone and know that after pleasantries are exchanged, the conversation will almost always get around to food..eating it, buying it, preparing it. We love to talk about the parties we've attended, bar-b-ques we've hosted, dinners we've made, the desserts we've savored and the recipes we've mastered. I think we are lucky in that our conversations always come back to food in some capacity or another. It's always best when food is shared, both across the table and with our words. Come..let's share the bounty! Cooks talk!

Farmer's Markets in Kitsap County

Having plenty of fresh ingredients on hand are a hallmark of every great cooking experience. As produce is concerned, the closer you can get to the source, the more flavorful and nutritious your vegetables will be. Why go to a grocery store during the spring, summer and fall months when you can cook with the seasons at one of your local farmer's markets?



Every Saturday from mid-spring through mid-fall you'll find a farmer's market in the parking lot right behind the Port Orchard Branch library. Not only will you find an abundance of locally grown produce, but there are all sorts of other treats and treasures to be found: fresh baked goods from local bakeries, flowers of all kinds at very reasonable prices, trees and plants, locally produced folk art and plenty of vendors with tasty foods of the world.

Port Orchard's Farmer's Market is only one of many in the county and the region. Take a look at the link provided below to find out where the closest farmer's market is to you. I am certain you will find the change of taste worth the effort!
