Oak Harbor Farmer's Market is open every Thursday and features fresh produce, locally handmade goods and delicious food and treats!

The Greenbank Farm Wine Shop and tasting room will start visitors off with a sample, then they can visit the Greenbank Cheese shop for artisan cheeses, go to the three galleries for tastes of Willis Hall wines, a different wine at each gallery. There they will find tasty nibbles, wonderful art, and live music as you stroll among the galleries and the outdoor art in the gardens. Return to the wine shop tasting room for your final Willis Hall dessert wine and enter to win the drawing to wine a basket of wines - one from each of six wineries that have participated in First Friday events at the Farm. The drawings take place twice a year, and the more First Friday's you participate in the more chances you have to win!
