At Greenbank Farm you can be as relaxed or as active as you want to be! Because of the diversity of our goals (to offer local commerce, access to agriculture, opportunities for recreation, and management of environmental resources), there are lots of things to do while you’re here.

Shop

• We have three wonderful galleries on site, all privately owned and part of our program to support local, small businesses.
• Throughout the summer, we host a small but lively Sunday Market, with vendors selling their wares from 11-3.
• Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we host a Holiday Market each weekend.

Taste

• Sample a lovely variety of Whidbey Island and Washington wines, and get a lesson on the science and history of fruit wines in our Wine Shop (owned and operated by the Greenbank Farm Management Group) All proceeds of wine tastings and bottle sales go to support on-going programming at the Farm.
• The Greenbank Cheese Shop offers a wild and wonderful assortment of cheeses and other tasty treats. Privately owned, the cheese shop is a favorite of locals and tourists alike.
• Whidbey Pies Café, also privately owned, features a spectacular menu that includes freshly baked scones, sweet and savory pies, salads, espresso,  wine, and more. You won’t leave hungry! (link to Whidbey Pies Café)
