Peter Weber, Farmhouse Organics, and the 2017 Farmers Market (TAST-40)

Peter Weber, president of the Bainbridge Island Farmers’ Market and co-owner of Farmhouse Organics, joins us on Tastes of Bainbridge to talk about Farmhouse Organics and the 2017 Market Season.

Farmhouse Organics has been a long time major anchor for the Market. In this lively interview, with BCB’s Bob Ross, owner Peter Weber shares the story of how he and his wife Anne came to Bainbridge and started farming. He provides an interesting overview of seasonal changes, talks about some of the challenges of farming, and discusses the educational merits of the intern programs that help our local farmers survive.

Peter then puts on his Market President hat to tell us about 2017 plans for the market, some of the new vendors, and how the market is broadening its audience.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
