The Market is Held Directly Across from Village Shell Gas, on Suquamish Way
Please come shop and socialize in our community market. The goal is supporting local economy goods and producers in food and crafts. With seven miles distance to any full service grocery stores, this is a walkable way to pick up great food, flowers, handmade clothing, gifts, and art.
The bottom part of this website's Vendors page is a list of our 2011 vendors. Wyckels Farm, Made In Manette, Victoria's Ventures Pottery, artisans working in Northwest Coast Indian traditions, including the Puget Sound Salish style, the Jones Family making prepared dinners, and much more, keep our growing market a great start in revisualizing how a market economy can be a personal, ethical, and sustainable part of our Suquamish human and natural environment.

The Market Thanks the Charitable Foundations of Tides and Honor the Earth for the award of $2700!
We'll use it in 2011 for paying for electronic banking equipment, special events, and biodegrading of food serving materials. Thank You!!
"The "Tides" name comes from a Bay Area independent bookstore that once served as a meeting place for readers, writers and activists. While honoring the progressive community which founded Tides, the name also suggests the remarkable power derived from people and ideas coming together at the right time, in the right place." www.tides.org
"Honor the Earth is a Native-led organization, established by Winona LaDuke and Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, in 1993 to address the two primary needs of the Native environmental movement: the need to break the geographic and political isolation of Native communities and the need to increase financial resources for organizing and change." http://www.honorearth.org/about-us
A Second Victory! Suquamish Market Awarded $1200 and Training for EBT (SNAP)/EFT Hosting
Washington State University and the Washington State Farmers Market Association are assisting us to be able to do the debit and credit card banking at the market, along with the electronic SNAP cards! This funding comes from the Washington state Dept. of Agriculture through the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.
Increasing specialty crop sales is the primary goal; much of the project support will focus on effective outreach, marketing, and developing and strengthening community partnerships
Thank you.
