Chewelah Farmers Market

The Chewelah Farmers Market is a non-profit and is run entirely by volunteers. The market is known for its vendor-friendly policies. Many of our vendors will tell you that this is their favorite market! And our monthly special event days have garnered a following all of their own. Where else can you race a zucchini down the creek or shoot cherries at a target with a slingshot? The Chewelah Farmers Market was selected by the Washington State Farmers' Market Association as the Best Small Farmers' Market in the state for 2010 and 2011. The mission is to make available high-quality, locally produced food and to promote self-sufficiency in the community food systems by providing a venue for local farmers, growers and producers to connect directly with consumers and to support educational opportunities. We invite you to come on down to the beautiful Chewelah City Park on Fridays, mid-May through mid-October, and enjoy all that the Chewelah Farmers Market has to offer.

How a CSA share works.

A CSA share is paid up front for a season of regular boxes, usually weekly. You share the farm's good years and its bad ones. Before you buy, ask what a typical week holds, where and when pickup is, whether delivery is offered, and how the farm handles a lost crop. Farms that grow organically or naturally say so on the listing.

Worth asking before you go:

• What is in a typical box in June, and in September?
• Where is pickup, and what if I miss a week?
• Is there a half share, a work share, or a payment plan?
