SATURDAY WAS A sunny day for dozens who walked market might provide. August 12-18 is Washington State
the streets of downtown Shelton to see what the farmers' Farmers Market Week.
Farmers' markets in growth mode
Farmers' markets are sprouting
up around the state, and Governor
Christine Gregoire and the Wash-
ington State Farmers Market As-
sociation are proclaiming August
12-18 as Washington State Farm-
ers Market Week.
The number of markets in
Washington has doubled in the
past decade, rising from 60 in
1998 to more than 120 today, notes
Kristin Workman, small-farm ex-
tension educator with Washington
State University Mason County
Extension in partnership with
Mason Conservation District.
Workman notes that Mason
County has three farmers' mar-
kets, one in Belfair at the Theler
Center, one in downtown Shelton
on Third Street between Frank-
lin and Cedar streets, and one on
Harstine Island at the island com-
munity hall. All three are open on
Page 32 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, August 9, 2007
Saturdays and feature local plants
and produce as well as crafts and
other items.
Farmers' markets, note their
proponents, provide local farm-
ers with direct access to buyers
and their customers with access
to fresh, nutritious produce grown
locally.
Boosters of the concept note
that shopping at local farmers'
markets means that more of the
food dollar goes directly to family
farmers. Those dollars, in turn,
are more apt to be spent at other
local businesses than those spent
at a grocery store.
Another point made in support
of the markets has to do with the
amount of fossil fuel consumed in
bringing food to the table. Food
purchased at a store may travel
hundreds of miles from field to
fork.
