Week 15 – Changing Seasons

The weather has turned autumn-like and the days are getting shorter. However there is so much good food at the market right now. Squash has transitioned from summer (zucchini) to fall (pumpkins and delicata) and even winter (acorn, butternut, kabocha). There are still berries to be had. And don’t forget that we have cheese, honey, Alaskan fish, pickles, and preserves!

In preparation for the final market day next week, here is the schedule of events for September 26. Let’s celebrate the great things of 2019 together!

  • 3:00-6:30: For the kids: A scavenger hunt! With prizes!
  • 3:30-4:30: Chef Lesa of Lesa Cooks! She’ll create something delicious from Farmers’ Market products
  • 5:00-5:30: Gramma Berta will give a Canning Demonstration using seasonal produce
  • 5:45-6:45: Jess Morse, Enumclaw local musician and singer will end our market with her talents

This is our thank you to our customers, our vendors, our sponsors and our board and market manager for being part of the village that made this market happen this year. Please join us!

This will be your last chance to stock up on produce and products for your dinner table and even purchase unique Christmas presents!

Week 6 – King County Fair Week!

The 157th King County Fair kicks off on Thursday morning at 10:00 am over at the Enumclaw Expo Center. If you hit the fair early, be sure to stop by the market on your way home to pick up some fresh local produce. We will have a few vendors missing this week, but don’t let that keep you away!

This week, Farmer Steve from Cedar Spring Farm will have garlic and loads of other fresh produce. Farmer Will at Good and True Farm (in the same tent as Farmer Steve) has some awesome carrots (check out the fresh photo from last week)!

We have multiple vendors with blueberries just like last week. Small Blessings Farm, Polka Dot Farmer and Hayton Farms all sold out or nearly sold out of the big blue pearls.

Ode to Joy Farm and Hell or High Water Farm will a both have eggs and produce this week. Meadowwood will have meat, eggs and fresh, local raw milk (other markets don’t have this!).

Both local breweries (Cole Street Brewery and Headworks Brewing Co.) will be offering tastings and beer swag.

William at Wulff Cutlery and More can sharpen whatever you need! From lawnmower blades to chef knives to your finest fabric scissors, he does it all!

Neighborlady Cheese will have something great to pair with your veggies from the produce farmers.

And market-goer favorite and board member Kamielle with Kismet Pottery will be back with some newly-fired creations. If you don’t have the market mug yet, get to market early. They are a hot commodity with a portion of the sale being benefitting the market!

Of course, Blue Barn Kettlecorn will hook you up with your favorite flavors!
