FARMERS MARKET








The weather may have been a little damp at the Chewelah Farmers Market last Friday, but our spirits certainly weren’t! The market is open, rain or shine, every Friday from 11:30-5:30 ‘creek-side’ at St. Paul Lutheran Church. The market will also be open the Friday of Chataqua, July 10th. After you’ve had your fill of elephant ears and shave ice, you can slip over to the market for some locally grown berries and freshly-made iced tea.

Cherries! Delicious sweet cherries will be available this week, as well as strawberries, cucumbers, zucchini, broccoli, kohlrabi, various lettuces and greens, basil, cilantro, peas, chard and a limited amount of tomatoes. You’ll also find honey, eggs, handmade liquid soap, wild strawberry plants, tomato plants, essential oil soap and iced tea and lemonade. And who knows what goodies you’ll find on the consignment table.

We welcome new vendors! We invite you to set up shop at our relaxed, friendly market. The Chewelah Farmers Market is run entirely by volunteers, our goal is to provide a venue for producers to sell their product, and to provide a place for the community to have access to fresh, locally grown produce. Or, you can always just drop off your extra produce at the consignment table and we’ll sell it for you.

If you have any questions or would like a vendor application form and market rules, please call Mary at 935-7145 or email Shelly at whoabgflla@gotsky.com.
