Summit Overview:

Friday morning and afternoon will consist of several extended and hands-on workshops in a variety of locations on Orcas Island. Please register for these workshops individually to reserve your space.

We invite the whole community to join us on Friday evening at Oddfellows Hall for a fun evening of food, drink, and socializing at the Summit Hoedown. Enjoy live music, and great local food for the whole family!

Saturday morning we will gather at Camp Orkila for the Saturday Summit. In addition to the 12 classroom presentations by local and regional experts, this year we have added a Buyer-Producer Meetup, and Trade Show featuring presentations from our 4-H youth.

Saturday Summit Registration is all-inclusive for the whole day, no need to select individual sessions ahead of time. Your ticket covers breakfast and lunch as well as the Tradeshow and Buyer-producer meetup.

Full Summit schedule will be released on Jan 5th with regular registration.
