Eat Local! Campaign

Continues online through the Fall & Winter (2021/2022)

Imagine a vibrant local food system with tens of farmers producing all the meat, produce, dairy and grains that we eat daily. In and around Port Townsend, we have such a system offering healthy food through many venues. Jefferson County’s Local 20/20 group joins the Salish Sea Regional Transition Hub in encouraging locals to support our local food system.

Eating Locally and Seasonally Foodbook

Wondering how to use our locally grown foods? With the support of the regional Transition Hub, Lopez farmers Henning Sehmsdorf and Elizabeth Simpson recently published Eating Locally and Seasonally, a wonderful guide for cooking and preserving locally grown food. The book can be purchased from Sonja Hammer (sonja@l2020.org} or downloaded for free from the Transition Lopez Island website.

During the first week of our Eat Local! Campaign, we focused on Exploring the farms, farm stands, and farmer’s markets in our region to discover what foods are available. In the 2nd week of our campaign, we focused on Sharing. In September, we focused on Preserving some local foods for use this winter.

Continue to follow the campaign online during the fall and winter and remember! The Farmer’s Market in uptown, Port Townsend will continue to be open until early December. You can still find a lot of great local produce – squashes, pumpkins, onions, potatoes, kale, and much more.

Let’s continue looking for more food items that you would enjoy purchasing when they are available. Click this link to find farm stands, local markets, Farmers Markets).
