The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON - The co-op-owned Artisan Food Market at Blue Mountain Station recently celebrated its two-year anniversary.

It began as the “Winter Market,” was only open on Saturdays and consisted of a handful of vendors. As interest and attendance grew, so did the market. The market offers hundreds of products, including those of regional food and craft artisans, food producers and growers.

In spring through fall, the market offers produce from local growers in the Touchet and Walla Walla valleys such as Deer Pond Gardens, Dixie Acres, Miles Away Farm, Hayshaker Farms and Nothing’s Simple Farm.
