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

Local Food Chef Showoff Review
Kitsap and BeyondThe film relates the story of a 14 acre community garden in South Central Los Angeles that was started as a form of healing after the L.A. riots in 1992. Beloved by the community and supplying fresh food to a neighborhood with little access to high quality produce, the garden is now facing destruction by developers.
The last weekend of each month, the Historic Lynwood Theatre features a documentary co-sponsored by Sustainable Bainbridge. Tickets are $9.00 each.

"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.
