Thank You! Fall 2023

Greetings! I hope this finds you all doing well and warm as we head into the cold season. We want to thank everyone who has supported us all these years by coming to shop with us at the market (and battling traffic and limited parking in the U-District). We couldn’t have done for so long without you, it really means the world to us. Thank you so much!

I also want to give a hearty thank you to my most excellent crew that have been helping me at the market for the last few years. Elizabeth, Alison, Forrest, & Robyn and others in seasons past. All truly amazing people that are a pleasure to work with and spend the day with at the market. Thank you all!

AND.. not at all least is the also amazing staff that makes the market happen every week, all year. Farming is a lot of work, almost always a challenge of one sort or another, old news.. But for small operations like ours and many others, to have an outlet to sell our produce in the city, to a willing and receptive population makes small farms a possibility. So to all of you who help facilitate all the markets at the Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Markets, Thank you, Thank you! I think you all are often overlooked with the weekly hub-bub of markets, how much work it takes to pull it off. We show up and it’s all ready to go, we pack up and go home, often without a thought of what it takes to make it all happen. Bravo! And again, Thank you.

My apologies if I’ve left anyone out.. I and we are thankful for many things, we have shelter, food, warmth etc. Our hope for all who aren’t as fortunate, to have it as well..

We’re doing good, trying to get things all buttoned up before Winter settles in. So far it’s been a mild Autumn and we’re looking forward to the off season. I look forward to seeing you all next year. Thank you all!

    Michael, This is Charley Pitcher, the talk guy who used to love your Bella de Boschop apples. If you remember we moved to Sedona 7 years ago. We started a small orchard, about 15 trees. For thanksgiving desert we had a fruit crisp, with White Permian’s, winesaps, lady Williams and Bella de Bischops fresh from the orchard, a few were refrigerated actually and frozen peaches from our peach trees. None of this would have been possible without all the sweet interactions we had with you over the years and your amazing apples. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the inspiration!!!

    Thanks

    Charley

    Happy Season dear Liz and Michael. We are now far away in Spain but my memories of the market are among the warmest from my time in Seattle. Big warm hugs and a big thank you for cheering us and nourishing us all those years.
