12th Annual - August 1, 2026
(NEW DATE FOR 2026)

Farm Party 2026 | Linktree

It's our favorite weekend of the year with the usual roast pig, potluck, yard games, live music, and line dancing.

The LOOSE Plan is as follows: 
8am - Pig roasting begins
9am - Music and Games
2pm - Ice cream truck arrives
3pm - Potluck
5pm - Live music

ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE
We cannot stress enough to come early! Though the party is not sharing the same weekend as the Whidbey Island Fair this year due to our change, you may be competing with some Sea Fair traffic. We recommend the 10am ferry to beat the line! No such thing as "too" early on Saturday.
Check out time for campers is 10am on Sunday. We'll set out coffee around sunrise so you'll have a little time to enjoy the morning before packing up.

SAFETY
This is a working farm with occasional livestock, electric fencing, a barn built forever ago, and a long history of bonfires and construction projects. Please wear shoes, make good decisions, and supervise your family members while enjoying the festivities and exploring the property. 

WELCOME!  Click here first.

RSVP Here

We don't need an exact number, but we do like to have a general idea. Let us know if you'll be joining us below!

Feel free to invite personal friends or family members, along with any four-leggeds who would do well in and like a rowdy environment and can be leashed during meal times. 

RSVP

Ferry Schedule

Address: 5040 S Smugglers Cove Road, Freeland, WA

Get off the ferry at Clinton, go about 10 miles, then turn left shortly after passing through Freeland (the sign says Bush Point Road, but it'll turn into South Smugglers Cove Road, we promise) to follow the signs toward South Whidbey State Park (if you get to the actual park, you've gone too far).

You can also choose to drive over Deception Pass. 

PARKING
There will be parking in one of the pasture areas, and you will be guided to the right spot upon arrival. 

CAMPERS
You may unload your car at your camping spot, however, if your car is not part of your set up please park your car in the lot once you're done. We want to allow for as many campers to be in the designated camping areas as we can. 

Directions

We are excited to have you! Here is some of the most important info you'll need if you haven't joined us before. Please click through all other links, too, for more helpful info.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to a VanBixOls for help. 

AMENITIES
Assume there are no luxuries. We have outhouses and Honey Buckets but we will have NO showers or other indoor plumbing. We'll set up some kind of outdoor dish-washing system for campers.

OVERNIGHT INFO
We have lots of sleeping space and ALL of it is outdoors. Throw a sleeping bag on the ground? Bring a tent? Drive up in a fancy Winnebago? We will welcome campers of all persuasions.
If you'd like to join us but want more luxurious accommodations, please make reservations soon at one of Whidbey's lovely hotels/B&Bs.
If you do not plan on spending the night, please make sure you check the ferry schedule to get off the Island in time.

First Timers

Here are some suggestions for what to bring. This list is not exhaustive nor is everything mandatory! Not sure about something? Please, reach out!

- Your family's non-beast food and beverage for the potluck.
- Utensils and serve ware. 
- An ice chest and maybe even a small BBQ, if you want to store and cook your food on your own terms.
- Blankets and chairs for lakeside and fireside sitting and any other outdoor concert comforts
- Extra toilet paper and/or hand sanitizer
- Sunscreen for day; Bug spray for night.
- Towels, if you're brave enough for a lake swim.
- Outdoor sporty-stuff that interests your family (like games!)
- Fishing is on a no-barb hook, catch-and-release, bring your own equipment basis. "Equipment" includes boats like inflatable kayaks, etc.
- Life jackets for children of limited water safety who might be on, in, or near the lake.

A GREENER FARM PARTY: We'd like to keep going green this year, so please bring your own reusable cups and plan to RECYCLE.

What To Bring

Every year there is a mountain of garbage. While some of this is unavoidable, there are things each of us can do to reduce our contributions to the Whidbey Island landfill.  

PLEASE!! Pay attention to the garbage can signs! We want to do our best to separate out garbage and recycling and it will be clearly marked. Take the extra moment to ensure anything recyclable is going into that bin. 

Bring a reusable cup to use for the day. 

Together we can do our part to make it a greener party :)

We love hosting you! Our favorite weekend of the year does come with costs. While there is no pressure to contribute, donations are welcome and appreciated. 
If we happen to break even, the extra will be donated to Ryan's House For Youth (https://www.ryanshouseforyouth.org/), an organization on the island that supports youth facing homelessness.
