||| FROM ERICA LYONS for ORCAS ISLAND FARMERS MARKET |||
The Orcas Island Farmers Market is thrilled to announce that the 2023 Market season is soon upon us! Starting Saturday May 6 and running every Saturday until September 30, we invite the community to join us on the Eastsound Village Green from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
From fresh produce, flowers, plant starts, delicious homemade food, canned goods, delicious baked goods, sweets, wines, handmade artisanal creations, information booths for local nonprofits, we have it all. Joining us this year will be an impressive number of new vendors as well.
Don’t forget that our farmers and some of our food vendors participate in the EBT SNAP programs, and there are matching Market Bucks to take advantage of! Please visit our Market Booth for more information.
We are also proud to announce that we have secured funding to continue our Music in the Market program. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on most Saturdays, we will have some of the island’s best musical talent for the community to enjoy! Please come and support these amazing musicians.
Starting Thursday, May 4, the Orcas Island Farmers Market will also be participating in the Spring GiveOrcas fundraising campaign. Please consider us for your some of your donation efforts from May 4 through May 18.
