YAKIMA VALLEY Farm Fresh Fun Eating local is a snap when you’re surrounded by farms and orchards. The bountiful Yakima Valley is a sunny region rich with orchards, farms and vineyards where it’s never been easier to eat local. More than 40 commercial crops are grown in the Yakima Valley, which enjoys sunshine 300 days a year. Farm-fresh produce is within reach almost year-round, from asparagus in April to apples and potatoes in November. Some summer months are particularly fruitful, like July, which tempts with just-picked apricots, green beans, blueberries, corn, nectarines and squash. Nowhere else in the state can you feast on food so close to where it was grown. You might say that in the Valley, the source of your next meal is just a stone-fruit’s throw away. And a trip to a family-owned local farm beats a visit to the grocery store any day. If you only have eyes for organic, look no further than the Yakima Valley. You’ll find many of these organic producers at weekly weekend farmers markets in Ellensburg, Goldendale, Prosser, DAGDAGAN FARM & PRODUCE 4640 Lateral A Wapato, WA 509.877.2727 Relish in all the fresh produce offerings at the family farm as you select or pick your own quality vegetables grown in the Yakima Valley. 26 Roslyn, Sunnyside and Yakima.
