Did you know our eggs and meat are now available at the Nordland General Store?


Well, you do now :)

In case you’ve never been there, the Nordland General Store is on Marrowstone Island on the way to Fort Flagler.

After a devastating fire nearly 4 years ago, the much-loved Store has recently reopened – now as a community Co-op.

It’s a lovely spot, and they’re working hard to have what you need.

Whether that’s weekly groceries, picnic fixings on your way to the beach, or treats just because.

Not to mention a selection of lovely hyper-local handmade goods.

I have to say we’re so excited to see the Store re-opened, and a little bit bummed that it happened just as we moved from Marrowstone to Chimacum.

Farmhand Eli fondly remembers meandering down to the store before the fire shut it down, and we’ve all been longing to have this awesome neighborly resource restored.

Even though the store is no longer just down the street – and perhaps because of that fact -  we’re so excited to be part of the store’s offerings.

So we can continue to conveniently provide eggs and meat to our (former) neighbors on Marrowstone.

Do you ever feel beyond lucky to live where there is so much local food readily available?

Not only are there tons of farms everywhere you look.

But there are now three (count them, 3!) community minded grocers in our area, with a focus on sourcing local goods.

I’d say most communities are lucky if they have one such resource to rely on.

As ever, we are grateful to live and work in an area where people like you care about the food you eat and the type of agriculture you support.

It really makes all the difference.

The seasons are changing, if my sudden need for a sweatshirt does not deceive.

But the farm keeps chugging along, oblivious to any feelings we might be harboring about the clouds.

And you can feel secure knowing we’ll keep bringing you nourishing grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork and delicious eggs every day of the year.

So pick some up at the Nordland General Store, or order now direct from our online farm store.

🎥 Meet the chickens behind your favorite eggs. [video]

I’m taking you behind the scenes today with a video🎥 to help answer the question: “Why are your eggs so good?” That’s a question we get all the time, and I’m not sure how to answer it. Not because I don’t know the answer, but because I don’t know where to begin. Because the actual boots-on-the-ground logistics of what we do is super complex. And every piece of the puzzle contributes to the health of the hens, and thereby the flavor and nutrition of the eggs.  🐓 moving hundreds of chickens outdoors on fresh pasture 🦅 while keeping them from getting eaten by everything else 🌾mixing our own feed so it’s always super fresh 🐤working with a nutritionist so each hen gets exactly what she needs at each stage of her life 🥚keeping eggs in stock year-round ⛈️ proper housing in the winter to protect the soil and the hens 📜 the list goes on It’s no surprise when someone asks me a question like that, I immediately start composing in my head a 5-paragraph essay 📝 - complete with introductory sentences, supporting evidence, and a compelling conclusion. All the time knowing it’s going to come out how Charlie Brown heard his teacher – “wah wah wah”. 😄 Luckily, I mentioned my problem to Farmer Martin and he boiled it down to TWO WORDS. Fresh. Feed. Ha! Why couldn’t I think of that? 🤷‍♀️ At this moment of the year, Fresh Feed means the most gorgeous grass on God’s green earth. 🎥 So, if a picture’s worth a thousand words, I decided to spare you the 5-paragraph essay and bring you a 48 second video instead. Farmhand Grace was happy to hop on the tractor with her farmer-daddy to make the trek out to the pasture and help show you around. I’m not making promises about the video quality. 🎬 I didn’t plan out what I should say (I would have managed to turn it into an unendurable 5-paragraph essay). And fair warning if you get motion sickness, there’s a moment at the beginning where I spun the camera a little fast because I had a premonition of approaching danger… I’m not going to spoil it by telling you what it was - suffice it to say my instincts were correct. And while I apologize for the poor filming and any queasy stomachs, it’s pretty much real farm life in action. 👩‍🌾🥰 You’ll meet the hens, some of the guardians who keep them safe, and catch a glimpse of your farmers, too.Click on the image at the top of this post to watch the video. And don’t forget to grab some eggs for this week. With its bounty, Spring’s a great time to add extra eggs to your weekly protein routine. I’ve got several family-favorite recipes linked on the egg page to bring you inspiration for breakfast or dinner, like Cheesy Egg Bites, Dutch Babies and Potato Salad. Click here to get the best eggs.
