Support for Mason County food producers, and an easier way to find local food
Market-Ready Mason helps Mason County producers grow their businesses: finding new buyers like grocery stores, restaurants, and institutions, getting into farmers markets, working through certifications, and building out agritourism. It also makes it easier for the rest of us to find and buy local food close to home.
Where do you fit in?
I grow, raise, or make food
Whether you sell at a farmers market, to local retailers, from a farm stand, or are still getting started, we’re here to help with the business side of your operation. Get support with buyers, licensing, agritourism, promotion, grants, and more, all at no cost to Mason County producers.
I work in the community
Mason County’s food system connects schools, senior meal programs, health organizations, tribes, local governments, and community groups. We’re working to better understand how local food moves through our county, where opportunities exist, and how we can strengthen those connections together.
Mason County food is easier to find than most people think. Here is where to get it, when, and which places take SNAP, WIC, and Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits.
Are we missing a market, farm stand, or u pick? Email tess@choosemason.com and we will add it.
