As the summer season winds down and signals the transition to fall, the Orcas Island Farmers Market is heading into the last few outdoor markets before we move indoors to the Orcas School Cafeteria for our Fall Market!
To celebrate the end of a successful 2024 season, we are inviting the community to experience our Harvest Festival on September 28th at the Village Green Park! Running from 10am to 2pm, the Harvest Festival will be chock-full of awesome activities including face-painting, a GIANT zucchini contest, three beautiful harvest basket raffle prizes, and two fabulous local musical guests: Run for the Roses to start and Baker and West to finish!
Harvest Basket Raffle tickets are AVAILABLE NOW daily at Orcas Art & Gifts until September 28th and at the Farmers Market every Saturday at the EBT/Market Manager booth. Don’t miss your chance to win 1 of 3 baskets stuffed full of goodies from most of our vendors, including handmade jewelry, ceramics, art, prints, preserved foods, flowers, produce, gift certificates, and more!
All raffle ticket proceeds go directly towards replenishing the Susan Osborn Vendor Support Fund! The amount of funds raised decides how many mini grants we are able to distribute to vendors in need the following Spring. This year we were able to support 12 vendors in need
Raffle Tickets are $5/ea or 5 for $20.
Drawings will be held on September 28th at 11:30am, 12:30pm, and 1:30pm. Keep your phone nearby!
Got Zukes? We will be hosting a GIANT zucchini contest! Drop off your entries between 10am and 12pm at the EBT/Market Manager booth on Saturday, September 28th for tagging and weigh-in. Awards will be given at 1:00pm.
