Cathlamet Farmers Market Co-op

"Local is the new Organic". A catch phrase used often these days is one way to describe the goings on at Two Islands Farm Market. Two Islands Farm Market is better described as a "Farmers Co-op". The concept was derived whe Rob and Diane Stockhouse and Mike and Kim Howell merged forces to provide a venue where local farmers could provide their products to the community, believing that it is better for the economy and the environment when food is made just a few steps from your own door.
The market has been running for a year now and currently has 10 vendors signed up, selling vegetables, eggs, baked goods, perennials and meats to Wahkiakum County residents. The market will be open every Friday from 3-6pm through October of 2007.

Cathlamet Leadership Training

Our first round of leadership classes ended in great success. We had over 25 people in attendance and all who attended enjoyed the educational experience provided. Carrie Kennedy and Karl Moody proved their abilities as excellent speakers. They educated the group on modules 1 through 9 of the leadership plenty classes. The leadership Plenty classes are designed to educate and assist Wahkiakum County residents on implementing future community leadershp
The classes not only target fundementals of leadership in the community but also address issues regarding sustaining community action in order to address poverty and the civic action required to make change.
The second round of classes that will be held in the fall will again be taught by Carrie Kennedy and Karl Moody. They intend to educate more Wahkiakum residents on what it takes to become successful leaders in their communities.
For informaton on attending the fall classes. Please contact Carrie Kennedy at the WSU extension office in downtown Cathlamet at 360-795-3278.
