Poulsbo Farmers Market gets support from Mor Mor Bistro
The Poulsbo Farmers Market will receive 5 percent of all revenue generated from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mor Mor Bistro & Bar every Wednesday in June through a unique community partnership program called Mor For a Difference.
The Mor For a Difference program supports community-based, non-profits and charitable organizations through the donation of 5 percent of lunch sales every Wednesday for an entire month.
Previous Mor For a Difference recipients include the Kathleen Sutton Fund and the North Kitsap Optimist Club. In addition to the Poulsbo Farmers Market, upcoming recipients include the Marine Science Center, which will be the featured organization in July.
“The Poulsbo Farmers Market shares our commitment to the community, local businesses and the freshest food possible, and we are thrilled to give back to them through the Mor For a Difference program,” said Laura Nesby, co-owner of Mor Mor.

Poulsbo massage therapist contributes to textbook
Aquatic therapy for the treatment of pain is the subject of a chapter written by Doug Kinnaird, LMP, of Poulsbo, for a new textbook, “Integrative Pain Medicine: The Science and Practice of Complementary Medicine in Pain Management.” The book, which Andrew Weil, MD, describes as “the definitive guide to integrative pain management,” was edited by Harvard Medical School faculty members Joseph F Audette, MD, and Allison Bailey, MD, and published by Humana Press.
Kinnaird who practices therapeutic massage at Bainbridge Athletic Club, said his chapter discusses the history of therapeutic use of water and a list of resources for practitioners and patients, plus a bibliography compiled by his collaborator Bruce E Becker, MD.
The textbook is available directly through Humana Press or most online book sellers.
