Why I Am A Member of the KCAA
"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 SmithI Am A Member of KCAA Because…
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.
Jade AgritechWhy am I member of the KCAA?
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.Blogroll

Hi Joanne,
As we build our local food information base we will be breaking the information down a bit better, perhaps by organizing sources according to the products they provide.
You didn’t indicate if you were interested in “custom slaughter” meat or cuts that were processed under USDA standards. Custom slaughter beef and/or pork is available at Holt Ranch, Butler Green Farms, Pheasant Fields Farm, Nash’s Organics, Possum Run Farm and others. USDA halves, quarters and cuts will be increasingly available as the Puget Sound Meat Producers Co-op ramps up operations. Farmer George and Minder Meats are both members of the co-op (along with the KCAA) and are good sources of local meats of all kinds. Hope that helps.
