Visit The Skagit Valley Farmers Market Every Sunday!
10 a.m. - 2 p.m. through October
Our mission at the Skagit Valley Farmers Market is to build lasting connections between our community’s residents and the stewards of our farmland, as well as showcase local cultural arts. We strive for a cooperative and family-friendly atmosphere that promotes mutually beneficial interactions among the producers and local residents.
This season we will continue to showcase the bounty of Skagit-grown fruits, veggies, and handmade crafts of local farmers and artisans. Visitors are welcome to take a seat inside the Vinery and enjoy market sweets and good conversation while observing local photographs on pea vining. We hope the Skagit Valley Farmer’s Market offers a space for experienced and new farmers to share their wisdom, their harvest, and their joy of farming with the locals, as well as out-of-town visitors.
Consider the Skagit Valley Farmers Market to be your new Sunday morning ritual. The Market is located just north of Christianson's Nursery and takes place around the Vinery on Sundays through October, from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m.

Growing Cool Season Crops
|
|
Gardeners in the Pacific Northwest are lucky enough to be able to grow vegetables all winter long. Early planning and planting are essential for having an abundant harvest in the winter. With a little bit of planning ahead, you can have a great winter garden and be eating home-grown veggies all year long!
Saving space in your garden when you are planting in spring is one way to ensure space is available when it is time to plant your fall and winter crops. When you start thinking about your garden as a year-round space it may change what you choose to plant and when. For example, many gardeners wait and plant their broccoli and Brussels sprouts in fall rather than spring because the starches turn to sugar after a hard frost so the veggies taste better. Many crops do well in cooler weather or even prefer it. Spinach, lettuce, kale, broccoli, carrots and garlic are among the most common vegetables that succeed in the PNW winters. Arugula, collards, leeks, and radishes are among the less-common vegetables that thrive in cooler weather. The crops that do not succeed in winter are the traditional summer garden crops: beans, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, squash, and tomatoes.
Keep in mind that each winter is different, and so is each winter’s harvest.

Keep Your Annuals Blooming
|
|
Continual bloomers, such as petunias, marigolds, and African daisies require continual deadheading. This time of year, it is important to remove dead flowers so the plant can push new growth and energy toward new flowers. Now is also a great time to boost your container plantings with a fertilizer such as E.B. Stone Rose and Flower Food, Osmacote, or Fish Fertilizer. Keeping on top of watering on our warmer days also ensures your plants remain healthy and stress-free.
