The products have better design and feel more professional, which I appreciate more. They're not for me as I find the fragrance too mature, but I do love their dried bouquets and would often see them at Ballard farmers market. They do have picnic tables available. Nice staff all around too!

It's hard to not leave with warm feelings from a "farm" experience because well, the land is giving…read moregifts, and an encounter with a space that reminds us of the true source--of our own lives--is like a soothing bath we didn't realize we needed. It is a stark contrast from the consumerist drudgery, hyper-stimulation, and quotidian violence of the modern U.S. market-scape which has metastasized like a bad rash over the land. An alternative way of relating to strangers and community members alike, around long wooden tables, listening to local folk performers stirs up a sense of communality from long-ago genetic and cultural memories. Eating good food, and drinking from a curated collection of ciders each infused and brewed slightly differently makes you feel "rich" in the true sense of humanity and wellbeing. I recommend this unusual vision of communal gathering -- where you can wander between wooden beam-constructed huts in which various food vendors are selling specialty items, then gather to sit down and eat in a large tent. Here you can also enjoy open farm vistas, and explore some planted rows. There is whimsical art festooned around the collection of low-slung huts. The ground is not paved so you can feel as if you are in touch with the earth. My food choice was a bahn mi sandwich which was excellently executed with toasted bread, both tasty and filling. It used a tempeh made with wheat grown in Chimacum itself. It had beautifully pickled daikon, carrots, and cilantro while the mayo was warming. Missing jalapenos were compensated for with chili sauces that you could custom add. I washed this down with a small six ounce glass of a mix of ciders because I couldn't decide my favorite flavors (strawberry infused cider was my jam that day). Be aware that food vendors will be different depending on the day of your visit. I feel that the care & finesse with which the bahn mi was executed is an indication of the high caliber of curated, prepared food available for purchase at this "farm" experience. Get back to the land and lower your blood pressure at Finn River Farm and Cidery!

They have a farmers market stand at the Stanwood market too if you're not lucky enough to make it out to the farm. Many different types of lavender are available and some not quite so common varieties to slice it up. Very well kept beds make it easy for people of all kinds to be able to enjoy their u-pick events. I've bought several varieties of lavender starts from them over the last couple of years and they are doing fantastic. Live music and lawn games abound as well during their events. 10/10 recommend a day trip to experience the farm or catching them at farmers market.

We arrived right in time for a free tour which was SO interesting (do it, worth it) and Rob was our guide and had a great sense of humor. I am obsessed with lavender so it was fun learning about the farming and production process. Beware of that gift shop though as they have tons of amazing and unique products that are hard to resist (so I didn't). We capped off our visit with a lavender lemonade that was fantastic. Thanks for having us B&B!
