Thank you for your editorial highlighting healthy locally grown and produced food and the farmers who make it possible (Supporting local farmers, relishing the food, Aug.19). The Vashon Island Growers Association’s (VIGA) mission is to promote farming, access to healthy food, and a sustainable agricultural economy on Vashon through education, advocacy and a vibrant farmers market.

Our members include many farmers. Our market sponsors include many island businesses. But the success of our agricultural economy depends on the customers and eaters who make up most of our members. Please join us as we explore ways to support Vashon’s farming and food production.  Find out more at vigavashon.org. And thanks again for focusing attention on the benefits of our local agriculture.
