Washington’s Famers Markets Push Local Produce

YAKIMA, Wash. — After several years of selling at the Ellensburg and Roslyn farmers markets, organic growers Bambi and Eric Miller contemplated where else they could sell their produce.

The couple, owners of Parke Creek Farms, a 12-acre farm just outside Ellensburg, considered selling at Yakima's market on Sundays, but felt it already had plenty of produce vendors.

They also looked at driving nearly 60 miles north to Leavenworth for its farmers market, as they were already acquainted with several vendors there.

Then an opportunity came for them to sell at a start-up farmers market in Selah.
