Local organic growers, market gardeners and green thumbs bring their fresh produce to the market. Saturday mornings you will find them busy setting up their tables with the season’s best. Early in the season the tables are loaded with peas, lettuces, greens, radishes, new potatoes, and herbs. Later, the season brings varieties of berries, peppers, broccoli, peaches, pickling cucumbers, carrots, corn onions, squash, tomatoes, apples, and much more.

The Newport Farmers’ Market has more than produce and garden blooms. You will find beautiful arts and crafts, unique services and fun events. Hand made soaps, knitted and felted hats, garden art, wooden planters, beautiful jewelry, tie dye clothing, photography, art glass, and much much more. You can also get a massage and listen to great music! All of the handcrafted items at the Market are made by local artists. A fun place to shop for the perfect gift.

The Lighthouse Keeper’s House, which the Forest Service operates through a concessionaire as a B&B, will remain open, although parking will be limited.

All facilities and trails except the Lighthouse tower are scheduled to reopen by September 30th, 2011. The Lighthouse will remain closed for major restoration work, though the small historic oil building next to the tower will open this fall, to display up-to-date information about restoration work.
