Two more fridays left for West Wahkiakum Farmers Market

The West Wahkiakum Farmers Market will end it's 2024 season on Friday, October 25. There are just two more opportunities for shoppers to purchase needed items from Market vendors at the Johnson Park Community Center on October 18 and 25 from 2-5 p.m. The Market, sponsored by the Johnson Park Community Center and the Grays River Grange, started on June 14 with vendors located on the first Friday of each month at the Grays River Grange and at Johnson Park on the remaining Fridays.

Reports indicate 2024 has been a great first season for this new Farmers Market. Vendor turnout has reportedly been steady, and the community has responded positively. Over the last four and a half months, the Market has featured an abundance of produce, fruit, mushrooms, honey, ceramics, herbal remedies, jewelry, crafts, knitted goods, art, baked goods, jams, plants/flowers, wood crafts, yard ornaments, locally roasted coffee and other craft items.

Planners are already working on ways to make the West Wahkiakum Farmers Market an even larger staple in the community in 2025.
