JUNE 13 - Cook Book Swap!

Save the date for our second annual COOKBOOK SWAP! Join us on JUNE 13!

Bring a book, take a book. Find something that inspires, intrigues or delights you! Get inspired to cook with new ideas and fresh ingredients from the farmers market!

Go through your collection and find cookbooks that you’re not using or have cooked through and are ready to let go. Bring them to the swap on 6/13 (or any market leading up 6/13.)

All the books that are left over will not wait awkwardly to be picked for kickball teams, they will be offered up to interested shoppers at the next market or carried off for donation!

🔪✂️When you sharpen tools instead of replace them, less energy & resources are used 🪓✂️This means less pollution is created. Creating new tools requires a lot of materials like metal, plastic, & electricity as well as an increased carbon footprint✂️

If you haven't already, check out local sharpening options like edge , Chisholm's Saw & Supply, Edge Pro, Hood River Sharpening, etc.

Business update:

Hey there folks. After a great deal of consideration, Wind's Edge will be moving all drop off services to its White Salmon location, located at 1321 Greentree Lane, White Salmon WA.

Further, this coming Saturday is the first event of the Hood River Farmer's Market summer season! If you haven't had your items sharpened in a bit, it'll be a great opportunity to get your items serviced that day!

To everyone that has supported Wind's Edge thus far, thank you.
