The Sitka Farmers Market will celebrate its 11th season in 2018. Our market takes place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on seven Saturdays this summer -- July 7, July 21, Aug. 4, Aug. 11, Aug. 25, Sept. 1, and Sept. 15 -- at the Alaska Native Brotherhood Founders Hall, 235 Katlian Street, in downtown Sitka.
The market features fresh local produce, home-baked goods, locally caught fish (on occasion), arts and crafts, and more. We also take WIC and SNAP benefits at the market, and (thanks to a grant from the Sitka White Elephant Shop, aka the White E) we also match up to $20 in produce purchases made using WIC and SNAP benefits.
The Sitka Farmers Market is coordinated by the Sitka Local Foods Network, which also operates the St. Peter's Fellowship Farm communal garden and other satellite gardens where much of the produce sold at the market is grown. You can learn more about the Sitka Local Foods Network by going to our website, and we have Facebook pages for both the Sitka Local Foods Network and the Sitka Farmers Market.
The Sitka Local Foods Network is a 501(c)3 nonprofit group whose mission is to increase the amount of locally produced and harvested food in the diets of Southeast Alaskans.
The 2008 Sitka Health Summit planted the seeds for the Sitka Local Foods Network, as Sitka community members got together at the summit and chose two local-foods-oriented projects among their five community health priorities -- creating a local food market and expanding our community garden/greenhouse space in town.
