Bainbridge Island Ferry Farm Stand To Open
June 23rd, 2009 by adiceStarting tomorrow, Bainbridge Island ferry commuters will have a
convenient spot Wednesdays to pick up fresh, local produce,
courtesy of
Sound Food.
It’s set up as a speedy grab-and-go, $5 bag of fresh goodies that
Sound Food volunteers put together and hand off (after payment, of
course) to people getting off the 3:45 p.m., 4:40 and 5:30 ferries
from Seattle.
Reporter Tristan Baurick checked out the stand and interviewed customers during its debut last year, if you’re curious about what they had to say. Over the 12 weeks the ferry stand was open, they sold about $11,000 worth of fresh produce, all of which went to the local farmers, Sound Food said.

What a great idea!
Is Bremerton and Kingston ferry docks next?
