Fresh produce and babies came out in the sunshine at the opening day of Orcas Island Farmer’s Market

The Orcas Island Farmers Market opened today to a glorious season of sunshine and fresh produce and products.

Booths can be obtained for $20 per Saturday until June, when the cost is $25. Non-profits are given a reduced seasonal rate.

The Farmers Market is also sponsoring a Poster Contest, with $500 cash prize for the Adult Division winner, and $25 gift certificates to Ray’s Pharmacy and Darvill’s for the Junior Division. Posters will be judged by uniqueness, color, artistry, composition, timelessness and a representation of the full breadth of market offerings from crafts, food and farmers.

Entry forms are available at the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce, Darvill’s Bookstore, Ray’s Pharmacy, Teezers and the Office Cupboard.

For more information, contact Jennifer Pietsch at 317-8342 or eamil orcasislandfarmersmarket@gmail.com.
