Cruising the Farmers Markets

Farmers Markets bring together the best of the islands artists, farmers, potters, woodworkers, bakers, fishermen, and photographers.

A delicious and fun way to enjoy the islands and the surrounding areas. The markets are held around mid-May thru September at many of the seaside communities accessible by boaters. You will enjoy connecting with the local farmers, bakers, fisherman and craftsmen.
