Culinary Arts

Port Townsend is nestled in one of the most diverse food source bioregions on the planet. The city is surrounded by abundant seafood, foraging, and an agricultural community that produces foods for the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Jefferson County is home to dozens of farms offering produce, grains, meat, flowers, and other value-added items. 

A strong local focus on food systems and resilience is demonstrated by the relationships to primary producers and support projects that are shepherded by community institutions like the Food Co-op and Jefferson County Farmers Market. Independent restaurants and culinary shops offer everything from casual bites to fine dining, plus all you need to cook the bounty of the region at home.
