New! Wednesday Farmer's Markets on Vashon Island

The Wednesday night farmer's markets have begun on Vashon Island! Now there are two opportunities each week to buy fresh island-grown produce and island-crafted gifts at the Village Green!! Notice that I qualified that statement with "at the Village Green," since you can also get fresh produce and u-pick items at farms around the island throughout the week! If you are interested in learning more about where you can get fresh fruits and veggies on the island, stop by the VIGA (Vashon Island Growers Association) booth at the Farmer's Market for a list of island farm stands and more information. You can also sign up to be on their mailing list!

Fun and Free!!

There is an excellent article on Yahoo! News regarding Freecycle, the online community bulletin board that enables people to keep items in use as opposed to in the garbage. I have been using freecycle for several years, in the Midwest and in the Pacific Northwest, and love the fact that the community can not only share items that are useful with others, but they can also ask and receive when there is need. How many times do you have that odd item around (like the car charger for the cell phone that you lost last year?) that you really have no need of, but it is in good, useable shape? I have seen items from art supplies and additional landscaping materials, to computers and the new Harry Potter book. What a wonderful resource!
