This trio was recently featured in a well researched article about local food by Tara Lemm published by the North Kitsap Herald. I highly recommend that you look at it as it gives you some good current information about the growing demand and opportunities in local food in Kitsap. Good going Tara!
Persephone Farm is looking to expand their CSA membership for 2009. Please visit their page for more information. Two of Kitsap farms offering CSAs for 2009 have already fully subscribed. Last year, all CSA shares available were sold our before April and that was without the KCAA promotion.
