Pumpkin Mania at the Nordland General Store!
Five year old Thea wants you to guess the weight of our porch pumpkin. When she’s not balancing on giant pumpkins, Thea is preparing for her role as a mouse in The Nutcracker. She’s sporting ballet slippers inside those boots!
Our Store Hours Are Changing!
We planned for arrival by bike, boat and car but we forgot horses. Kristen is an energetic Chimacum teacher who thinks our produce is fabulous. We think her horse Lucy would agree about our Red Dog Farm carrots. Kristin loves to see her sons hop off the school bus, throw down their backpacks and run to the store for ice cream. Love these neigh - bors!

We wait all year for the simplest pleasures. Visit us for lucious Midori Farm slicing tomatoes and enjoy the easiest meal of the season.
