“Come Enjoy the Harvest!”
This weekend kicks off the Farmer’s Market season, and we
couldn’t have asked for better weather! With
the sun shining and the birds chirping, what better way to spend a Saturday
than perusing the locally grown, harvested, created, cooked or concocted goods
that Orcas island farmers and artisans have to offer? There’s something for everyone at the
Farmer’s Market. Get mom a locally made
soy candle from Charming Candles, get dad a wild tie dye shirt from Flo
Designs, or grab some fresh produce to snack on from any one of the local
farmers who bring their harvest to the Village Green in downtown
Eastsound. Don’t forget a hat and
sunscreen – this market is fully outside and the weatherman is calling for
SUN!
The Orcas Island Farmer’s Market kicks off the first weekend
in May (So, May 4th, 2013) and continues on through the end of
September – 10am to 3pm , every
Saturday. For the months of October and
November, the vendors and farmers can be found down Haven
Street 11am to 2pm
on Saturdays.
Parking is where ever you can find it in downtown Eastsound
– everything is within walking distance!
Bring your kids, dogs (on a leash!), grandma – the whole crew! You don’t even have to worry about where the
nearest restroom is, there are public restrooms located right on the Village
Green – next to the historical museum.
From Eastsound Landmark Inn, you can meander down the town’s
sidewalks and eventually find your way to the Village Green, or there is a
“secret” path that heads straight there!
Ask for more details when you check in.
