Jennifer and I have been on a quest to find a farm near us where we can buy fresh organic produce. Well, today our search has officially ended!

We discovered the Solstice Farm Bed and Breakfast. Such a great name! It is located in the beautiful Beaver Valley near Chimacum, Washington just south of Port Townsend. It’s owned and operated by Linda, Jim and thier dog Megan. They are all so friendly, including Megan!

Linda gave us a tour of the farm and house. As we walked around, we tried some of the Lacinato Kale. Linda even showed us a nifty way to prepare the kale. We liked it so much we picked over 3 pounds of it!

Linda introduced us to their sheep and chickens. The chickens are truly free range. There are only two areas on the entire farm where they are not allowed to go. We will definitely be trying some of their eggs.

As we left the barn, Linda pulled some of her Interlaken grapes right off the vine and gave them to us. Now I haven’t really been too much of a grape person before this, but these were unbelievable! I could eat these by the bucketful! So sweet and tasty with no seeds.

We tried some of their Gravenstein apples. They were some of the best tasting apples I ever had. We ended up getting 20 pounds of them for only $17! After we got home, Jennifer made some yummy apple crisp with some of them.

We also tried their peas and plums. Everything was just so delicious. The best part of it all is that I know exactly where it’s all coming from. I feel so much better knowing that my money is going to some great people!

If your near the area, definitely stop here and check it out. Right now their produce stand is open on Sundays and Thursdays from noon to 6pm.

Linda also teaches a few classes. Jennifer and I will be taking her pickling class soon.
