The Orcas Island Farmers Market begins this Saturday, May 4. Visit us on the Village Green in Eastsound from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., every Saturday through September.

Come explore this vibrant island hub—stock up on farm grown produce and plant starts, enjoy delicious food, find inspiration in local art, groove to live music, and educate yourself about supportive island programs and services!

Don’t miss our rockin’ Music in the Market Line up, with local music every Saturday! We will be kicking off our music series on May 4 with Clint McCune and Rebecca Cohen. Come knock boots with your neighbors!

OIFM has worked diligently to provide food access programs to our community. At the market we accept EBT, Snap Market Match, WIC, and FNMP.

Please mark your calendars! The Give Orcas Campaign, hosted by the Orcas Island Community Foundation, begins on May 8 and extends through May 17. OIFM seeks assistance to cover rent owed to San Juan County for use of the Village Green in summer 2024. Help the market continue as a viable financial platform for local businesses, a hub for local food access, and an expression of our unique Orcas community. Donation window begins on May 8.

Interested in vending at the market? Are you a local artisan, chef, or farmer? Do you have a special service to share with the community? Do you know of a creative young person (age 13 or under) interested in sharing their artwork?
