Pam Mitchell.. Pam's Place Produce
Last outdoor market day of the season, and I’ll be the clown with the stethoscope (take two beets and call me in the morning - trust me, I’m a doctor – honk!) selling fresh veggies and salads.  BUT I’ll still have produce to sell when we start our indoor Holiday Market the weekend after Thanksgiving – 11/26 – in the Bayview Hall from 10am to 2pm, and continue every Saturday until 12/17. To contact me about produce please email pamsplaceproduce@whidbey.com.

In addition to that, I’ll be selling George’s Chocolates (while he’s at the Greenbank Farm doing the same on Sundays), wreaths to hang on your door or over the mantle, and lots of hand-knit winter woolies in wonderful color combinations. To give you a sneak peak, I’ve put up some of the hat and scarf/cowl sets on my Facebook page
You can email me at colormewarm@whidbey.com to set up an appointment, or to ask for more information or a custom order.
 Thank you to everyone who made this market season so successful!

Vicky Brown... Little Brown Farm
This Saturday, Oct. 29 is your last chance to get our whole selection of fresh cheeses for the year.
Please come to the market, check out the costumes and support us. The girls still eat all winter long, but they need to rest their bodies to stay healthy and happy.
 As a special this week, we will be offering ½ pound packages Frozen Caprine Cream Chevre for you to store for winter at a discounted rate. 
 Caprine Cream Chevre freezes (and thaws) beautifully, and as long as it’s protected from freezer-burn there is no difference in flavor or texture (defrosted properly in your refrigerator).  Pheta also freezes well. Come and get it!
Cheese is a truly seasonal product. Fresh cheeses will be back in April, but we will have plenty going on before then.

We thank you sincerely for your support this season. Without your support, local agriculture, in fact a local food network couldn’t exist. We count on YOU. Without regular customers, we can’t keep doors open. Think of your local producers and their well-deserved break (and significant loss of income) they have coming. Come on out to the market on Saturday rain or shine and support the vendors you’d like to see back next year.
