Grays Harbor Conservation District is helping spread the word about using EBT / SNAP benefits at the Aberdeen Farmers Market— building a healthier, more food-secure community.
Grays Harbor CD recently produced a video to teach community members how the SNAP Market Match program at the Aberdeen Farmers Market can help families stretch their food budgets while eating fresh, local produce. The video shares real stories from shoppers and market staff about how easy—and life-changing—it can be to use EBT at the farmers market.
Hats off to Grays Harbor CD for helping connect people to fresh food, local farms, and healthier habits. And if you live in the area, don’t forget to visit the Aberdeen Farmers Market on Saturdays!
With support from the Riparian Plant Propagation Program, large-scale native plant production is underway through a partnership with Puget Sound Plants, enabling the cultivation and statewide distribution of more than 30,000 riparian plants. This high-volume nursery system strengthens Washington’s restoration supply chain and ensures consistent access to locally grown native material.
Grays Harbor Conservation District maintains tens of thousands of native plants annually at a partner-operated holding site, using gravel beds and nursery infrastructure to support healthy plant growth and regional riparian restoration. Through project support and community distribution, the district helps meet evolving restoration needs across the region.
Snohomish Conservation District is expanding its riparian plant capacity while preparing for a new office and greenhouse facility. Through partnerships with Snohomish County, Edmonds College, and the Latino Educational Training Institute, the district maintains thousands of native plants and supports hands-on workforce development for local restoration efforts.
