Even our ten year old son said without us saying anything "mom, the workers look so grumpy!" We spent over $40 there and they didn't even say thanks or thanks for coming in. They didn't even greet us at all... not even with a smile. And I tried to ask the younger one questions about where the products came from and she would barely mumble a short answer of "other farms" what could have been a fun and quaint longer experience there (because it looks like you can stay and eat) turned out to be a quick visit because we felt they were annoyed we were there. Horrible customer service and would not go back.

Schuh Farms is one of my favorite stands in the various farmers markets around Seattle to pick up…read morefresh strawberries. Coinciding with a recent visit to Deception Pass for the low tide in June, we decided to visit the actual farm stand up in Mt. Vernon on the way. This location consists firstly of a little building in front with a drive through and walk up window serving freshly made fruit smoothies, coffee, and ice cream. The only menu with pricing is located on the drive through side so it's a little inconvenient for walk ins! But at least for strawberries, they get fresh fruit right from the farm (we saw them walking in several flats of Rainiers as they opened up in the morning). Otherwise, the main store is in the barn-looking building behind that. When we visited in Mid-June, they were selling tons of different plants (50% off!), lots of freshly baked pies, and tons or strawberries! When we first walked in at 9:30 AM, the strawberries had literally just been brought to the stand; they were fresh as fresh can be. They had two varieties for the day: Albion (as with most Day-Neutral varieties, these are mediocre, but still better than grocery store varieties), and Rainier, one of the most flavorful varieties grown in Washington. We picked up a half flat for only $20, and would have bought more if not for the fact that we had already purchased 8 pounds of Upick Puget Crimsons from another farm just the previous day. We opted to also hit the little cafe to pick up one of Schuh Farms famous strawberry milkshakes. Strawberry Shake, 20oz ($8.50) - So delicious, the decadent dessert and ridiculously thick, rich, and creamy. Does this milkshake consist of strawberry blended with strawberry ice cream to amp up that fruity flavor? The strawberry is exceptionally jammy and it stays jammy even when the drink warms up. It somehow never gets watery like melted ice cream! (5/5) I've been buying from Schuh Farms ever since moving to Washington and I plan on continuing to be a customer in future years. Now I know there's a big advantage driving up to the farm instead of just stalking their stands at the farmers markets in town!

Bring a cooler as you're going to buy a lot. The shop carries a lot of great products like wine, meat, soup bones, phenomenal salami and of course cheese. I loved it so much, I made a second trip just before heading back to Seattle. As much as I love a quick jaunt from Seattle, they do sell their products at two of Seattle's largest farmers markets and you can place orders online. The Gouda is next level!!! Run don't walk. This place will knock your socks off.

Discover is an accepted form of payment. An adorable farm store featuring farm-to-table products such as eggs, yogurt, cheese, cheesecake. A variety of pantry items are also available to pair with one's fresh purchase. Support of local products is evident and appreciated. Cider and wine can be purchased to compliment cheese and crackers. Cheese can be purchased in pre-weighed rounds or by the ounce. I purchased the Queso Diablo, Basil Ladysmith and Dill cheese along with some crackers. Service was friendly. It would have been helpful choosing if samples were available.

A great spot for blueberry lovers! Their items may vary in availability depending on the season…read more The location is small and they have a couple of parking spots available. There's some outdoor seating, available but the majority is in the sun. The people inside were very friendly and let us try samples of the blueberries. We ordered an ice cream sandwich, a full flat of blueberries, and blueberry juice. The ice cream sandwich was packed with blueberries and had really good flavor. I definitely think about this one a lot and would love to go back the next time I'm in the area.
