— from Jennifer Pietsch, Orcas Island Farmers Market Manager —
For the third year, Orcas Island Farmers Market is hosting Evening Markets Wednesdays on the Village Green!
We started three years as part of the celebration of National Farmers’ Market Week in August. It was so fun and successful that we last year held four, a tradition that we are continuing this year.
The series will run Wednesdays July 23rd and 30th and then in August on 6th and 13th. Each evening we have great local entertainment and a beer garden hosted by The Lions Club featuring Island Hoppin’ Beer.
We will have a selection of everyone’s favorite craft vendors and of course a great selection of food vendors. The first Market is this Wednesday featuring the bands- Loose Gravel opening for our feature band Fog Seal.
Market hours are 5-8 rain or shine.
To join as a vendor or for questions, folks are encouraged to call Jennifer Pietsch at 317-8342 or via email at orcasislandfarmersmarket@gmail.com.
