Grab Some Veggies On Your Way Home

From the BI Chamber weekly notice:

Thanks to a partnership between the Chamber of Commerce and Sustainable Bainbridge, island ferry commuters departing the busy 4:40 pm and 5:30 pm ferries will soon be able to grab a bag of fresh local lettuce, some crisp sugar snap peas, and a box of sweet Island strawberries before they get in their car or board the bus. A new "Ferry Farm Stand" will open every Wednesday evening beginning June 25 at the Chamber’s Information Kiosk at the Bainbridge ferry terminal, offering a variety of locally-grown produce in convenient $5 bags. A project of the local non-profit group Sound Food, the Ferry Farm Stand is a pilot project to encourage Kitsap commuters to eat more food grown close to home. All of the food sold at the Ferry Farm Stand will be picked fresh at farms on Bainbridge Island and in North Kitsap. Sound Food will provide all of the staffing, organization and promotional support, so that 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the farmers.
