Mukilteo Farmers Market


Faithful customers, Branda and Theresa, picking out their dinner

The last two weeks we ventured a little farther from home to the Mukilteo Farmers Market. It is in a beautiful location on the beach and draws a pretty large crowd of both local residents and beach-goers. We are impressed with the clientele as well as the other vendors. We are perfecting the art of knowing what and how much to bring as well as how to display our produce. It makes for a busy morning harvesting, washing and packing all of the produce to ensure freshness, but we are getting more efficient at that as well. It helps to have Mom the Market Farm Hand to pick and evaulate produce as well as help set up and be an enthusiastic salesperson. This week we brought lettuce, garlic, turnips, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, basil, new potatoes and peas. The market is on Wednesdays from 2-7 at the lighthouse.
