Opening Day of Farmers Market
The opening day of the Port Townsend Farmers Market is not to be missed. Two words: goat parade. Opening day kicks off with a ceremonial ribbon cutting and a parade of goats in tutus (yes, it is one of the most adorable things you’ll ever see).
This past winter was beautiful, but I’m ready for spring and the bounty of produce from our local farmers. The Farmers Market is a great place to grab lunch, taste local cheeses, meats, ciders, and wine.
The Saturday Market runs from April to December. Later this season the Jefferson County Farmers Market will add an additional Wednesday market and a Sunday market in Chimacum.
