HANSVILLE — If you don’t have your greens for the week, you’ll be able to stock up next Wednesday while supporting your farming neighbors at the same time.

And you’ll have the opportunity to do it every week throughout the summer, accessing a plethora of homegrown, healthy goods.

The Hansville Farmers’ Market, run by the organizers of the Kingston Farmers’ Market, will have its grand opening from 4-7 p.m. June 1 and will run through Sept. 28.

“It’s pretty exciting,” said KFM president Cindi Dudley. “Everything is set to go.”

The market is open to KFM members who currently sell food and farm products, but crafts vendors will not be allowed due to space restrictions. The market will be held in the gravel parking lot of the Hansville Market and at maximum, will have about a dozen vendors each week. So far, products expected to make a showing include produce, fruit, eggs, plants and perennials. Right now, the goods in season are primarily greens — lettuce, rhubarb, char, broccoli and Asian vegetables, but as mid-June comes around, berries and cherries will start to show up, Dudley said.

The reason for starting the Hansville Farmers’ Market is not only to help Kingston vendors with the excess produce they have at the end of the Saturday market, but also to help build a strong customer base for the events.

If farmers come with their goods but there are no customers to purchase anything, the vendors tend not to return to the market, Dudley explained.

“We’re encouraging them to grow,” she said.

Vendors and Hansville residents Tara Prendergast, Patti Warren and Vikki Lobberegt were the inspiration for this, Dudley added.

“They needed another outlet and since they are all Hansville people, it seemed like a logical jump,” she said, noting that she’s aware residents from the most northern point of Kitsap can’t always make it to the Kingston Saturday market.

Another issue the markets struggle with is the fact that the area is much more rural than Bainbridge Island and Poulsbo, so it’s hard to pull in a steady customer base, she said.

But, the response has been “really, really, really warm,” she said, and residents believe its worth a try this summer. Dudley just hopes each Wednesday is as nice as it was this past week.

“It’s so much fun when it’s like this,” she said. “I think Hansville is going to be fun.”
