Things are Spinning at the Chewelah Farmer's Market

Chewelah, WA August 4, 2008- Things are continuing to grow at the Chewelah Farmer’s Market! As we get close to the height of the local growing season, the variety and quantity of fresh produce will increase. If you shopped at last week’s market, you would have found Walla Walla onions, many varieties of summer squash, raspberries, huckleberries, honey, fresh-baked bread, lavender and sugar snap peas, just to name a few of the items available. You can even pick up some donuts and a cup of coffee from the local bakery. Rumor has it that there will be sweet corn available this week. You just never know what you’ll find on market day.

This week local fiber artists will be holding a ‘Spin In’ at the market. Spinning wheels will be flying as wool and other fibers are turned into yarn. Be sure and stop by to watch these artisans in action.

Every Friday this Summer and Fall plan on visiting the Chewelah Farmer’s Market, being held creekside on the grounds of the St. Paul Lutheran Church, N. 202 2nd St. W, in Chewelah. Farmers from all over Stevens County will be selling locally grown produce, meat, baked goods and other products.The Chewelah Farmer’s Market is open Fridays from 12:00 until 6:00. And be sure to check out the free classes that will be offered during the market. The classes will explore a variety of subjects, including cooking classes, gardening classes, canning classes and backyard livestock classes. For a current schedule of what is being offered, contact Ed Pace at 935-6311 or visit www.chewelahlutheran.org.

The Market Consignment table, operated by the Jenkins High School FFA, is the perfect place to sell your extra produce from your home garden. There is a small consignment fee, and you can choose to keep your proceeds, donate it to the FFA, or donate it to the Chewelah Food Bank. This is a great way for everyone in the community to get involved with the market.

No matter how large or how small your garden is, we invite you to come be a part of the Chewelah Farmer’s Market. Crafts and other items are welcome that fall within the rules of the market. If you are interested in becoming a vendor at the Chewelah Farmer’s Market, contact Ed Pace at 935-6311 or revedpace@centurytel.net to receive a registration form and market rules.
