Orcas Island Farmers Market Harvest Festival September 26

||| FROM ERICA LYONS for ORCAS ISLAND FARMERS MARKET |||

The Orcas Island Farmers Market is proud to announce the conclusion of our Summer Outdoor Market Season with our Harvest Festival on September 26^th from 10am to 2pm! Four hours of fabulous live music brought to you by local favorites Baker + West, followed by The Studs, a Giant Zucchini Contest, and the Harvest Basket Raffle Giveaway!

The Harvest Basket Raffle offers the chance to win one of three gift baskets full of all kinds of amazing offerings from our talented vendors and artists. From handmade jewelry, herbal salves, delicious preserved goods, fresh fruit, wines, flowers, produce, gift certificates, apparel, and even more in each basket, you’re sure to find joy and excitement when going through your winnings! All proceeds from raffle ticket sales go directly to our Vendor Support Fund, which is currently empty and in need of replenishment for 2027’s market season. We are in need of raising funds for this annual scholarship fund that gives our vendors who need a boost the help they need to get started in the Spring.

Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. Raffle tickets are available at the Market Manager booth at the Orcas Farmers Market on Saturdays through the 26^th, and are also available daily from now until the end of day on the 25^th at Orcas Arts and Gifts at 245 Main Street in Eastsound. You can also conveniently send raffle entry monies via Venmo directly to @OIFarmersMarket – remember to include your name and mobile phone number in the notes so we can fill out your tickets for you and text you proof of entry!

Drawings will be held Saturday, September 26^th at 11:30am, 12:30pm, and 1:30pm – each ticket is entry into all 3 the drawings. Be sure to answer your phone so we can arrange pickup/delivery!
