“With the dollars we receive in SNAP match at the farmers market, we are able to get fresh, glorious food. We put berries in our freezer and pickle green beans... It fosters a feeling of abundance. I am grateful for our farmers markets, volunteers, donors, and grant funders who make this program possible. ”

Our Markets
JCFM hosts three vibrant farmers markets in Jefferson County, Washington— the Port Townsend Saturday and Wednesday Farmers Markets and the Chimacum Farmers Market on Sundays. In 2025, JCFM will reopen the Port Townsend Wednesday Farmers Market after four years of market closure in response to COVID-19.
Our three markets have over 100 vendors combined offering products from fresh produce, pasture-raised meat, eggs, and fish to artisan prepared food, arts, and crafts. We also provide booth space for a rotation of Jefferson County nonprofits and public health, city, and county groups. Visit our vendors page for a list of the 2025 JCFM vendors.
