Who
Salish Sea Trading Cooperative relies on wind and tide to transport locally produced goods up and down Puget Sound by sailboat. Our goals are to conserve precious energy resources and re-introduce the idea of sail as everyday transport while building resiliency into our local foodshed.
What
In Summer/Fall 2010 we are delivering fresh, organic vegetables from Nash’s Farm in Sequim to Aster’s Coffee Lounge in downtown Ballard twice monthly. We will also have raw organic honey for sale. Our next delivery will take place on Sunday, August 22nd, from 10 AM -12 PM at Aster Coffee Lounge in downtown Ballard.
- A full order will be $40 and should provide veggies for a couple of people for a week.
- A half order is $25 and similarly provides veggies for one person for a week or so.
- A quart jar of organic, raw honey is $20; a pint is $7 (sourced from Buck Hollow Farm in Poulsbo).
- Customers pay upon receipt of the food. We’re also investigating how we can get approved as a food stamp acceptor.
How
Reserve your fresh box of veggies by sending us a quick message. Please note which size order you’d like to receive, and please send the order at least 3 days before our delivery date (the sailboat leaves 3 days before).
