The Farmer’s Market

Summer months bring out the Sequim Farmer’s Market, an event held on Saturday’s downtown.

I was truly spoiled by farmer’s markets in California. Bigger metropolitan areas create a worthwhile demand for producers to truck their goods to these markets and California’s long growing season favors production. It’s not so bountiful and diverse in Sequim’s little corner of the world. Our local organic producer, Nash Huber, is the market’s “anchor” producer. There doesn’t seem to be too much other fresh produce at the market. Which isn’t to say it’s not available around here. It simply doesn’t make it to the Farmer’s Market.

I’ve read that the market is working to broaden their offerings and I know it’s not an easy proposition for a producer to spend a day sitting as a vendor at the market. In the meantime, there are plenty of tempting crafts and goodies to keep people coming back.

Coming soon

Nash’s Farm Store, a local institution, is moving to a new, larger location. The exact opening date hasn’t been announced yet, but next month is being mentioned. The present store is pretty small, and part of it doesn’t seem like much more than a well-anchored tent but it offers good seasonal local organic produce.

Nash’s Store currently offers produce from Nash Huber’s 300 acres of farmland around the Sequim region. The new store will bolster this produce with other regionally grown items, meat, baked goods, and even beer and wine, making it a useful go-to location, especially for residents in the northern Dungeness area of Sequim where there aren’t any stores to speak of. There’s an inside grocery area that’s entered on the left side of this photo, a covered area where I’m guessing produce will be offered, and also paved parking.

The edge of the new parking lot is finished with this, handprints across the entire edge of the paving. And a dog has also left its prints.

Here are photos from inside the current store.
