It was gray and drizzly for the first Sitka Farmers Market of the 2023 season, our 16th summer. This market, on Saturday, July 1, had a small number of vendors registered, so all of the vendors were moved inside the Alaska Native Brotherhood Founders Hall, where the first 13 years of Sitka Farmers Markets were held.
We appreciate everybody who made this market season a success, especially all of our vendors, volunteers, and our customers who wore masks to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. Right now masks are optional since Sitka’s Covid-19 risk is low, but if the city’s Covid-19 risk level is high, we require masks inside ANB Hall. If the city’s Covid-19 risk is medium, we recommend people wear masks inside.
We didn’t have as many booths as in previous years, but the smaller markets seemed to have worked. We still had fresh local produce, as well as a variety of Alaska Grown value-added products, cooked food, and arts and crafts. The Sitka Local Foods Network farm stand accepts and matches WIC coupons and SNAP EBT benefits.
Our markets the rest of the season are from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, July 15, 29, Aug. 12, 26, Sept. 9, and 23, at the ANB Founders Hall, 235 Katlian Street. Potential vendors can register and pay their vendor fees by going to https://sitkafarmersmarket.eventsmart.com.
