## Resource

The Shelton Farmers Market is back in downtown Shelton for the 2026 season, opening Saturday, May 2 in the Civic Center parking lot and running every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. through October. Market manager Tammy Ramsey joined Jeff Slakey on Focus on Shelton to preview what's new this year, including an expanded push to bring small farms and backyard growers to market, a returning partnership with anchor vendor Skokomish Farms, and the market's SNAP and Market Match program that helps families stretch their food dollars on fresh, local produce. In this conversation, Tammy talks about why the Civic Center location on Cota Street has worked so well for the market, how the Shelton community has shown up week after week, and the barriers that keep smaller growers out of traditional markets — and what the Shelton Farmers Market is doing to change that. She also shares the single best argument for shopping local: the tomato on your plate might have been on the plant yesterday instead of shipped hundreds of miles to your grocery store. If you're a farmer, a crafter, a musician, or a volunteer looking to get involved, visit SheltonFarmersMarket.org or find the Shelton Farmers Market on Facebook. #SheltonWA #SheltonFarmersMarket #MasonCountyWA #ShopLocal #FarmersMarket #PNWFarms #SkokomishFarms #FocusOnShelton #KMAS #SNAPBenefits #MarketMatch #SmallFarms #BackyardFarmers #LocalProduce #PugetSound #WashingtonState #EatLocal #FarmToTable #CivicCenterShelton #DowntownShelton
