We were looking for a pumpkin patch that didn't charge crazy admission! This was FREE to get in!…read more And this is the PRETTIEST pumpkin patch I've ever been to! Guaranteed for cute backdrop photos, great for kids/families and it's such a big farm overall! Such a variety of pumpkins, squash and gourds! They have delicious hot apple cider and pumpkin donuts. Fresh produce and fruits, and honey too with apple cider available for purchase! They have a cornmaze for $7 admission, sunflowers and just a cute vibe all around. It is pretty popular too! The pumpkins are reaosnably priced if you're getting small and medium sized ones (not sure about the big ones). There were a lot of ppl with wagons purchasing big pumpkins so expect a line if you're visiting this month!

I love cheese. Their Ladysmith w/ chives is my favorite. I recently had a stay-cation in Skagit. I…read morehad tried a few different cheeses they create from various farmers markets and my csa carries a few as well. You must make the relaxing trip to their shop. Bring a cooler as you're going to buy a lot. The shop carries a lot of great products like wine, meat, soup bones, phenomenal salami and of course cheese. I loved it so much, I made a second trip just before heading back to Seattle. As much as I love a quick jaunt from Seattle, they do sell their products at two of Seattle's largest farmers markets and you can place orders online. The Gouda is next level!!! Run don't walk. This place will knock your socks off.

I found myself in need of a quick snack to take to friends in the hospital and Samish Bay Cheese…read morefit the bill. Free parking can be found in the gravel lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. An adorable farm store featuring farm-to-table products such as eggs, yogurt, cheese, cheesecake. A variety of pantry items are also available to pair with one's fresh purchase. Support of local products is evident and appreciated. Cider and wine can be purchased to compliment cheese and crackers. Cheese can be purchased in pre-weighed rounds or by the ounce. I purchased the Queso Diablo, Basil Ladysmith and Dill cheese along with some crackers. Service was friendly. It would have been helpful choosing if samples were available.

Amazing place! Amazing customer service from high school kids too. Such a great local spotread more

Great stop for ice cream and a spot to stretch your feet. It smells amazing…read more from the fresh waffle cones. We enjoyed the ice cream and waffle cones but did find the "farm stand" portion to be lacking. Not much produce, they did have lots of canned items. I purchased pickled okra (which tasted great) and later read the label to see what they pickled it with. That is when I saw it had yellow dye as an ingredient. I thought that was odd for a local farm to put in their canned goods. Then I saw on the front of the label that said they were pickled "for" the farm. Something to consider if you factor that into a purchase. Either way, a worth it stop for a sweet treat.

You drive a winding road that feels like you're being led to the middle of nowhere. You arrive at…read morewhat looks, like an abandoned train yard, cross the tracks, and suddenly.....there it is. The Taylor Shellfish Samish Oyster Bar. It's not a restaurant in the traditional sense; it's more of a landscape. We had dozens of fresh west coast oysters, smoked oysters, shrimp, crab, beer, and....a view that made this an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a place that celebrates the food rather than the performance, this is it. Go for the oysters, stay for the silence, and leave knowing exactly where your food came from. Food (5/5): Everything was outstanding. I'm not even a fan of smoked oysters but these were prepared in a way that made them truly amazing. Customer Service (4.5/5): The staff were friendly and readily available. Price (Est. $60/person): It is easy to lose track of the final bill when the food is this good and you keep the orders coming, but expect to spend around $60 per person. Decor/View (4.5/5): The outdoor setting is perfect, especially on a clear nice day, providing an unmatched view of the water.

We stopped in at the Taylor Shellfish farms Samish Oyster Bar on a bright sunny day. There's a…read morewinding 1 lane road to get to the location and it's perched right next to a tidal flat with an incredible view. There's no shade, I think I could see people getting sunburnt in the hour that I was there. I ordered a dozen shucker's choice oysters and received an assortment of 3 different types. It's pretty amazing the difference in taste across the different oysters. They were great! Super fresh and served with a couple wedges of lemon and mignonette. A little different than the way they're served on the opposite coast (typically lemon, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and mignonette. Several of the oysters were pretty large and took some chewing to get through. I paired them with a nice glass of gruner veltliner. Great spot, I'd definitely return.

A fish market with a variety of local farm and gourmet products as well…read more The staff is friendly, the fish selection is good, the fish is fresh, and one can always buy a variety of other things as well -- we got some fresh picked local asparagus, as well as some king salmon. We've been going there for years. Sadly, they no longer offer ice cream cones (just ice cream in pints and quarts) - they explained to me that they were overwhelmed by people who just wanted ice cream, and that it made it hard to sell fish. The penalty of popularity. If you need fish, whether to consume nearby, or to take home on ice, this is a great place to buy it - conveniently located on route 20, not far from I-5.

But…read morewe never ever stopped at this little, cute farm for blueberries and wow, what a pleasant experience! Nice variety of fruits,vegetables and U-pick flowers. Sunfowers were not quite ready but I will be back for that! Extra note: wonderful variety of dried lentils, beans, various herbs/spices, honey that looked fabulous, some of the best salsa I have tasted from around here! Also, you pay on the honor system, so bring cash with plenty of $1.00's, or you can pay with Venmo. The owner is super busy harvesting. Don't miss this gem on your way to Christensen's Nursery or the Miniature Donkey Farm.

Always an awesome selection!! And a great honor pay system. Close to the Rexville Deli too!read more

Have you ever seen a miniature donkey up close? I hadn't and that's exactly why we made a quick pit…read morestop at JF Miniature Donkeys before diving into the tulip festivities. Now, to be clear, this isn't some official petting zoo or farm tour it's more like a local gem hidden in plain sight. The owners must know their donkeys are the stars of the area because they made a small parking area behind one of the nearby buildings with a sign marked parking with a donkey icon. Visitors come and go, snapping photos and saying hi to these little four-legged celebrities. When we arrived, a few of the donkeys trotted right up to greet us clearly veterans at charming visitors. They seemed to expect treats or maybe just wanted attention and each one had a bit of personality. We brought our dogs along and, surprisingly, everyone got along just fine. While I personally wouldn't recommend petting them (always better safe than sorry) others were giving gentle scritches and the donkeys didn't seem to mind. If you're en route to the tulip fields and want to add a smile-worthy memory to your day, this unexpected donkey stop is 100% worth it especially if you have kids, animal lovers, or just need a quick serotonin boost.
