Chataqua is Here for Farmers Market

Chewelah’s biggest weekend of the year is here- Chataqua! The Chewelah Farmers Market will be up and running Friday from 11:30- 5:30 offering up the best produce of the season. Sweet berries and cherries, delicious summer squash, basil and tomatoes, tender greens and juicy Walla Walla onions are a few examples of the produce that will be available. Artisanal breads, cut flowers and pottery, unique hand-quilted items, rustic hand-crafted antler baskets, herbal tinctures and supplements are also among the many other products you’ll find at this week’s Farmers Market. And you never know what items will turn up for sale on the consignment table!
And the Chewelah Farmers Market is a great venue if you would like to have a vendor presence during Chataqua. Sellers of locally grown produce, locally produced food products and hand-crafted items are welcome to set up shop along the cool banks of Chewelah Creek at St. Paul Lutheran Church, N. 110 2nd. St. W. A rock-bottom fee of only $5.00 or 5% of your day’s take is all it will cost.
