The time for fresh veggies and local crafts is here. The Orcas Island Farmers’ Market is opening on Saturday, May 2 in the Village Green.
“I wait all year for the season to begin,” said Manager Jennifer Pietsch. “You would think that I would be over it by now, but every year it is a bit like Christmas waiting to see what the vendor family has been creating, and catching up with old friends. We have a number of exciting new vendors joining the market, including some small farms.”
The Orcas Island Farmers’ Market is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday from the first weekend in May to the last weekend of September. During October and through most of November, the market meets from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall.

Pietsch says they will “happily redeem” SNAP benefits for unprepared foods such as fresh local meat and vegetables, eggs and plant starts.
The successful Wednesday evening markets are coming back in late July and early August with local musical entertainment and Island Hoppin’ beer served up by the friendly Orcas Lions Club.
“As always, we look forward to sharing the green with the other community events that help to define life in Eastsound,” Pietsch said.
