This makes me not want to support them. That said, it's a nice store, clean and well stocked. Good organic products, and their bulk walnuts are refrigerated, which really impressed me! The prices are what you'd expect, though I did find that some of their produce was very reasonable. It's hard to find nice, fresh organic produce, but they have it.

We had an excellent soup and sandwich at the cafe, which has seating right in the market! After eating we did a bit of shopping and were very glad we did. We found several nice local products that we had never seen before, bought a couple interesting and delicious salads from the deli to take home, and the friendly young man working the deli counter introduced us to a wonderful prosciutto-like ham from Austria which he said was his favorite. This kind of friendly, personal service you will never get in a large grocery store! We are very glad we stopped in, and can't wait until our next visit when we will purchase some lovely AAA Canadian beef steaks from the attractive meat case(and probably some local pork sausage as well). Highly recommended!!!!

We stayed at The Landmark Hotel and lucky enough to just walk over to Orcas Island Farmers Market…read more It was a cool and breezy July day. There were at least a dozen food stalls selling anything from home baked bread, cookies, donuts, Mexican food, and Asian. There were stalls selling arts and crafts which are unique to Orca's. We picked up some lunch and enjoyed as the local band sweet music on the stage. A few folks and their kids got off the ground and started dancing. What a scene, as if it's out of a movie scene. It was truly magical.

After a couple of wintertime visits to Orcas, I was really looking forward to a summer trip. That…read moreexcitement was enhanced, even more than I would confess, by the prospects of seeing what the farmers market looks like here. Orcas has a long and rich agricultural history and I've seen plenty of farms and roadside farm stands that stood vacant in Decemeber. I was stoked for summer. Cue COVID.... Well, I'm happy to report that the market was still happening. I'm glad they didn't throw in the towel on it, though from what I'm told it was vastly different this year. Oh, you can imagine that in previous years there wasn't a mandatory handwashing station at the entrance. And I imagine there weren't dots on the ground to indicate where you should wait in order to approach each booth one party at a time. But more importantly, I'm told that the market, even though it's small and mighty in its biggest years, was only very teeny this year. There were probably 7-8 booths there, and that made for a quick visit. Still, we bought some flowers at one booth, and a bar of locally made soap at another, so we did our best to support the vendors who are making an effort despite the restrictions. I have nothing but love for a farmers market, and nothing but admiration for the participants. Though we were only here for a little bit, I'm glad we made it.

The goats are cute and nice. We will definitely come back when visiting the island again.

I haven't seen carrots this orange and with tops on 'em in a long time. I chopped up the carrot greens, added minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and crushed red peppers. So yummy. As for the mushrooms, made beef and mushroom stroganoff. The parsley was fresh and plentiful top off the pasta and cheap! Overall, if you're passing by, definitely stop and visit.
