"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.

"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.

I have been trying to find a CSA that delivers in the Port Orchard area and have not been able to find one. I have heard that one delivers in Manchester and in Long Lake area but can’t find a vendor. Please help. We want to buy good stuff this year.

Unfortunately, no South Kitsap farmers are offering CSAs in 2009. Rodstol Lane Farm of the Southworth area is working toward doing so in the future.
Right now, Handsown and Homegrown and Abundantly Green Farms have arranged for drop off points in Port Orchard weekly for SK members.
If lots of people in SK leave their contact information with us as being interested in CSA shares we will share that information with SK farmers to encourage them to start CSAs.
Please look in the farmers and farms directory for links to the farms listed above.
