BREMERTON After a year of turmoil that included multiple delays, low attendance and two location changes, the Bremerton Community Farmers Market opened for the 2021 season Thursday at Evergreen Rotary Park.
For organizers, it felt like coming home.
“We are back at Evergreen, which is absolutely fantastic because that’s where we began, that’s where we feel at home, that’s where the community knows us,” market manager Jessica Knuletsky said.
The market’s 2020 opening was delayed by about a month thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers were forced to move to Pendergast Regional Park after Bremerton Mayor Greg Wheeler expressed concern about Evergreen’s many entrances. Attendance plummeted at Pendergast, prompting a second move to Quincy Square on Fourth Street.
