||| FROM ERICA LYONS for ORCAS ISLAND FARMERS MARKET |||
As we transition into the Fall Season, the Orcas Island Farmers Market has big announcements. Coming up on our calendar is our annual Harvest Festival on the Village Green. Saturday, September 27th will be our last outdoor Farmers Market before we shift to our indoor Fall Market series at the OISD School Cafeteria and you are invited to the Village Green to celebrate with us!
- Live music all market long from the Dustbunnies and Gene Nery
- Giant Zucchini Contest (free to enter, bring your zukes by noon and win fun prizes and bragging rights)
- Win 1 of 3 Harvest Baskets full of goodies from some of your favorite vendors. Ticket monies benefit the Susan Osborne Memorial Vendor Support Fund, a mini grant program to help support vendors in need of a startup boost each Spring.
Tickets can be purchased daily through September 26th at Orcas Arts (245 Main Street) or Saturdays at the Farmers Market before the drawing times on September 27th.
Starting Saturday, October 4th, we will move our market indoors to the Orcas Island School Cafeteria. Please join us everySaturday through November 22nd from 10:00am to 2:00pm in a cozy and sweet atmosphere with our artisans and farmers, with live music from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Plenty of seating to hang out and catch up with everyone!
