Macallan is now 3 years old, and we have nothing but good things to say about our experience with…read moreWAR. Amanda worked with us to choose a dog based on our lifestyle and desired temperament, and she chose perfectly. Macallan is one of the sweetest dogs, a lover to all, and always up for an adventure. We had asked for a dog that has the energy to backpack and hike for days but also likes a good relaxation day - and that's him in a nutshell. We even have had WAR watch Macallan when we go on vacation - and every time, when we pick him up, he's so happy and acts like he got his own adventurous vacation, too. Highly recommend working with WAR to see if their dogs are a good fit for your household and know that you'll have a great support network.

I got my girl Zelda from WAR. They care so much about their pups and only place them with families…read morewho are compatible with the puppy. They're always available to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have about your dog. It's clear by looking at their website and social media that they are professional and are in this for the love of the dog. They don't hand out a dog to the highest bidder just because the person is after a certain color eye or coat. I got updates from the moment I sent my deposit up until I was able to take my puppy home! Will absolutely go back to them when it's time

About Well Fed Farms:…read more "Ecological balance is one of the most important principals on a farm that strives to be truly sustainable. At Well Fed Farms, rotational cropping and grazing, composting, and nutrient cycling are all employed to care for the soil and water resources that support the continued productivity of the land. Well-managed, healthy land enables the production of high quality, delicious food, which provides the nourishment needed to sustain us and complete the cycle, keeping land, animals, and people all Well Fed. Well Fed Farms embodies these values. Animals are raised outdoors on pasture, where they can scratch, root, play, and forage. Their diets are completed with high quality, GMO free grain rations sourced from independently owned, local mills. Excellent feed, supplemented with abundant forage, results in delicious, nutrient-rich meat and eggs. An open, low stress environment where they are free to exercise their natural instincts results in healthy, contented animals. You can see and taste the difference." As owner of Well Fed Farms, Erik Olson has been providing organic vegetables, eggs, and pasture raised meats to Skagit Valley and beyond for many years. His new farm stand on Sam Bell Road is the cleanest, most organized farm stand I've ever seen. During farmers market season you can find his goods in Anacortes and Lake Forest Park.

I was looking for some less common cuts of pork and lamb. I always buy pasture raised or grass-fed…read moremeats. I love the flavor, texture, and heathy life for the animals. I have high expectations, and the Mesman's exceeded them. We picked up some hamburger patties for connivence and ate those first. That was some of the best hamburger I ever had. In a lifetime of eating grass-fed beef those hamburgers stood out for intense, rich flavor. Ordering was easy. They have their common cuts listed on their website. You email in your order. (If you want something that's not listed, just ask). I was hoping for same-day pickup to take advantage of a rare sunny day. I left my phone number and they called me back within an hour to confirm they had everything I wanted except the lamb. One beautiful drive up, it was all ready to go. I gave them my card and off I went. Easy as pie. The place is attractive, easy to find with navigation, clean, and everyone's friendly. Even the sweet old dog resting in the sun came over to say 'hi' before we left.

Staying in the area, we bought some beef and pork, both fantastic, delicious and of course…read morebeautifully cut. I try to buy direct from ranchers whenever I can, so I've have some good meat, but this truly stands out. We've already been back once and will probably make a third trip back, because it's good and for the quality of the product, reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
