Fresh From Our Friends
Supporting local farms, producers, and makers is our pride and joy. Partnering with our friends and neighbors is a big part of what makes the Co‑op so much more than a grocery store. When you shop at the Co‑op, not only do you put your hard-earned dollar back into the local economy, you support the dreams of real people who live here and reduce your carbon footprint, too. It feels good to shop local. It feels even better to shake the hand or give a high-five to the folks who grow our food, make our soaps, and illustrate our greeting cards, and happen to live just down the road.
Finnriver Farm & Cidery
Finnriver ciders are farmed and fermented on 80 acres of Certified Organic farmland and orchards in Chimacum—home to over 6,000 (!!!) organic heirloom and traditional cider apple trees. Finnriver transforms their apples into contemporary craft ciders, botanical ciders, their orchard series ciders, and even fruit wine.
Sipping their cider is like taking a big drink of the Pacific Northwest and all its fall glory.
