What's at Woodinville Farmers Market This Week? Aug. 6

It's the beginning of Farmers Market Week!

With more people shopping at famers markets, Gov. Chris Gregoire, the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) and the Washington State Farmers Market Association (WSFMA) are celebrating Farmers Market Week in Washington Aug. 7-13.

“Farmers markets support local farms and small businesses, promote healthy eating and bring communities together,” Gregoire said. “Farmers markets positively impact and shape the social and economic fabric of Washington’s communities, large and small.”

Statewide, farmers markets belonging to the WSFMA reported nearly $39 million in sales in 2010, up from $32 million reported in 2009. Those dollars go directly to Washington family farmers and the local community.

“Farmers selling at the markets have become the face of agriculture in our state,” said Dan Newhouse, WSDA director. “These markets are real community builders whether they operate daily at Seattle’s Pike Place Market or once a week in a small town. They generate sales for growers, a great social atmosphere and showcase Washington’s freshest local produce.”
