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,

Visit one of these seasonal open-air bazaars and you’ll have
a unique opportunity to meet the friendly farmers who grow
your food. They’ll not only greet you warmly and ply you with
samples, they’ll also happily share cooking tips and introduce
you to new varieties of fruits and vegetables.
Even in the winter months when the fields are quiet, you can
celebrate the region’s agricultural industry by exploring its
history. Several Yakima Valley museums and attractions are
dedicated to farming and food production, such as the Central
Washington Agricultural Museum in Union Gap, the Yakima
Valley Museum in Yakima and the American Hop Museum in
Toppenish.
The Yakima Valley is one of those rare destinations where
“local flavor” can be experienced quite literally.
