One of the main projects of this year's Sitka Health Summit is to create a local foods market where people can buy fresh fish and produce. Even though we don't have any commercial agriculture in Sitka (other than some flowers), we are using community and family gardens to supply our first three Sitka Farmers Markets, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16, 23 and 30, at the Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall and adjoining parking lot. To learn more about our Sitka Health Summit projects, go to http://www.sitkahealthsummit.org/. To see some photos from our first Sitka Farmers Market (and some picking parties the day before), go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/sitkafarmersmarket/. For more information about the Sitka Farmers Market, contact Linda Wilson at (907) 747-3096 or Kerry MacLane at maclanekerry@yahoo.com.
