The Everson farmstand opens daily dawn to dusk with produce, honey, eggs, and ferments, and visitors tend to arrive as strangers and leave as friends.

Ferndale

Ferndale Farmstead makes authentic Italian heritage cheese from seed to cheese in Ferndale, Washington — three generations of the Wavrin family growing the crops, raising the cows, and handcrafting fresh ciliegine to aged asiago with heirloom cultures imported from a small culture house near Naples. The closed-loop farmstead's cheese stand is open daily, with distribution across Pacific Northwest specialty retailers and restaurants.

Stanwood

Jim and his father Marvin Anderson started buying and raising Limousin beef in the early 80's. Marvin, by trade, was a meat cutter for Thrifty Foods in Arlington for many years. He fell in love with the Limousin breed after going to a butchers' conference in Canada where the breed was first introduced from France. Marvin, at 89 years of age is, still hauling cattle for farmers and ranchers all over Snohomish/Whatcom county. Jim was born and raised in Stanwood and started with livestock at an ear

Mama's Garden is a family farm in the South Fork Valley of Deming, Washington — "food for your soul" grown with hand tools, cover crops, chicken compost, and rotational grazing, from pastured eggs to 100% grass-fed, never-grain beef. Cool months bring small-batch Pacific Northwest maple syrup from the property's own trees, and the farm stand along Highway 9 also carries goods from neighboring farms.

Coupeville

3 Sisters Market on Whidbey Island has offered the best selection of local products since 2013, born from demand for the family's all-natural grass-fed beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and eggs to be available year-round. The Coupeville market is open every day, 9 to 6, stocking the family's meats alongside other local goods.
