About Us……

spacer Chimacum Corner Farmstand is a small rural grocery featuring “FOOD FROM HERE” – scrumptious food grown or produced in the mountain rimmed fertile valleys of Washington State’s NE Olympic Peninsula.  We opened our doors in November, 2010 off-season during a deep recession.  By selling the finest local goods, our “farmstand” hopes to support our agricultural economy while providing our neighbors with the best in health, community, and eating pleasure.


Our Mission:

  • To sell local food whenever possible so as to celebrate and support our fantastic farming community.
  • To augment our local food selection with an array of staples and quality organic goods so that those in our community can shop close to home.
  • To put our customers first and to grow as we learn their needs.
  • To promote through education the benefits of sustainable farming and the joy and health of eating “real” food in season.
  • To build community and local economic opportunities in ways that are apolitical and welcoming to all.
  • To provide a great work environment, learn lots, have fun, and last, but not least, to eat well!
