"My main purpose is to be the conduit between the farmer and the consumer. Minder Meats is a USDA Certified Meat Plant and our facility has the potential to create more business for our local farmers." Tawnya Hayes
KCAA is the lightning rod for farm and fresh, local food issues in Kitsap
County. The initiatives, the blog, and the momentum that continues to grow
makes it a very exciting group.

Our family enjoys being a part of the KCAA because of it's dedication to supporting us as local farmers. Creating a sustainable community is everyone's responsibility, KCAA provides a vast network of people that share our challenges.

"Upon arrival to Kitsap County in May 2009, I searched the internet for farmer’s markets, CSAs and co-ops; I was looking for a way to buy local foods. I was delighted to see so much activity in the area that allowed local farmers to sell their food. I joined KCAA immediately." Jill Smith
KCAA is the most active group advocating for local agriculture & the only group I know of that is working to create a complete network of local producers, processors, retailers, & consumers. I believe that this progressive approach will help to build mutual support & respect between farmers & non-farmers rather than the "us versus them" mentality that is so pervasive in our society.

I discovered early on that “the whole is greater than the sum of it’s’ parts” when it comes to the membership of the KCAA. Individually, many of us have certain knowledge, skills and abilities useful to our own personal producer/marketer endeavors. I have found that the KCAA recognizes, and draws out those talents in a way that allows each member to benefit from his or her association with the other members.

Who can teach me to start a small vegetable garden in my yard?
