"We're thrilled to join in the celebration of the Haymaker Farmers Market 30 years in Kent! The Haymaker Farmers’ Market set the standard for connecting people that care about what they eat and buy, with local farmers who care about what they grow and sell. It's a perfect match -- and it's one of Kent's most anticipated and popular community events every Saturday, all year long." David Ruller, City Manager, Kent
