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!

<p><a href="http://jenniferacomb.tumblr.com/">Jennifer</a> 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!</p>
<p>We discovered the<a href="http://www.solsticefarmstay.com/"> Solstice Farm Bed and Breakfast</a>. Such a great name! It is located in the beautiful Beaver Valley near <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimacum,_Washington">Chimacum</a>, Washington just south of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Townsend,_Washington">Port Townsend</a>. It&#8217;s owned and operated by Linda, Jim and thier dog Megan. They are all so friendly, including Megan!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gF3X1gJ1RqA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gF3X1gJ1RqA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Linda gave us a tour of the farm and house. As we walked around, we tried some of the Lacinato <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale">Kale</a>. Linda even showed us a nifty way to prepare the kale. We liked it so much we picked over 3 pounds of it!</p>
<p>Linda introduced us to their sheep and chickens. The chickens are truly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_range">free range</a>. 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.</p>
<p>As we left the barn, Linda pulled some of her Interlaken grapes right off the vine and gave them to us. Now I haven&#8217;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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://andrewacomb.tumblr.com/post/187281211/20-pounds-of-locally-grown-organic-apples-for"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1020" title="Locally Grown Organic Apples at Solstice Farm by Andrew Acomb, taken with my iPhone" src="http://www.andrewacomb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/IMG_0557.jpg" alt="Locally Grown Organic Apples at Solstice Farm by Andrew Acomb, taken with my iPhone" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>We tried some of their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravenstein">Gravenstein</a> 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.</p>
<p>We also tried their peas and plums. Everything was just <em><strong>so</strong></em> delicious. The best part of it all is that I know exactly where it&#8217;s all coming from. I feel so much better knowing that my money is going to some great people!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Linda also teaches a few classes. Jennifer and I will be taking her pickling class soon.  </p>
