The Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust is committed to protecting and restoring a nested set of ecosystems that help keep our Island whole. Here at Matsuda Farm - one of Vashon’s historic Japanese American farms, our actions ripple outwards.

When you raise your hand to donate, you are helping to rebuild soil and protect the Judd Creek watershed through regenerative agriculture. You are growing food for our island’s school children and food bank. You are committing to the idea that what we do today matters tomorrow.

We hope you’ll join us for some seriously good food, amazing tunes, and pies from some of our Island’s most decorated home bakers.

All donations made at Big Sky will be matched up to $150,000 by a group of generous island donors. Join us for our biggest fundraiser of the year - it’s one of the most anticipated summer events on Vashon, and it will sell out!

You won’t want to miss…

Dinner by:

Gravy is a Vashon favorite, with good reason! Pepa and Chef Dre will be bringing Mediterranean inspired picnic boxes to Big Sky that will sure to be crowd-pleasers. Vegetarian and Omnivore options will be available at the event, along with a selection of beers, wines, and fizzy non-alcoholic treats. Come hungry and ready to sip and mingle.

Dessert from:

and our volunteer island bakers!

We are delighted to have Vashon Baking Co as a sponsor for our annual pie-a-palooza! Their pies will join an incredible assortment from the Island’s most talented home bakers.

Come hungry!

And our hosts:

EnJoy Productions

If you have been to an event hosted by Kevin and Martha, you know you are in for the best time at Big Sky. They will be bringing their musical stylings, storytelling, and sense of fun to the party. Get ready to raise your hand enthusiastically when Kevin calls for donations!

Music from:

Good Medicine

Good Medicine is a genre-fluid, all-girl quartet. A little pop, a little country, some folk and jazz, the band’s foot-tapping repertoire sparkles with “songs we’ve written and songs we wish we’d written.”

Good Medicine is:

Jasper Forrester on fiddle, mandolin & vocals

Carol Kenefick on drums

Sara Van Fleet on bass, guitar & vocals

Mary Bruno on guitar & vocals
