Every time I shop at the Green Barn, I am delightfully surprised with new additions and products…read moreoffered. This place has become more than just a place where I can shop for fresh produce. I can now buy dairy, eggs, locally raised meats, fish, frozen local berries, local honey, bulk nuts, granola, flour, candy, etc, as well as fresh deli meats and cheeses. Recently they started carrying beer and wine and everyone's favorite Edaleen dairy ice cream. One of the best parts about The Green Barn is now you can have a sit down lunch and order from a variety of panini's, sandwiches, salads, or smoothies. Everything is always fresh and majority of the product is local. Staff is friendly and helpfuI am so happy to have such an awesome place to shop in Lynden!

I recently purchased two cases of Elberta peaches. I trusted Dave to know the produce he sells…read more More than half were a total loss. Many were were green and rotten all at the same time. Many were brown and smashed on the bottom of the box. I paid $95 for the two boxes but I didnt inspect the peaches before paying for them. My stupidity. I'll never spend another dollar there again. I trust a produce guy should know what he's pawning off on the public. Honestly the most awful peaches I've EVER bought.

I've bought grass-fed beef and pastured pork from Farmer Ben's for the last two years. They…read moreactually got me hooked on grass-fed and pastured meats. I was hesitant to take the plunge due to the higher price of such products, but health reasons made me reconsider. I heard about Farmer Ben's and bought jjust a few items the first time (some hamburger, sausage, bacon and a couple steaks), and I was sold from thereon. The flavor, quality and freshness of the meat is unsurpassed. It's so worth the price to get such healthy, nutritious food. Their farm store sells other products as well (some excellent dairy and poultry products, plus grass-fed lamb from other farmers in the area). I hear this summer (2012) they are adding some farm grown veggies, too. Well worth the nice country drive to shop.

Lynden Meats cut the steaks all lumpy & uneven so they were hard to stack in the freezer, but Keizer had them cut straight so they stacked easily like books. We have not had any problems with them nor have our customers.

I wish I could go back and taken my beef order to another butcher. Meat cuts were not labeled to…read moremy satisfaction (I.e. Don't just label things a "beef roast" let customers know what/where the cut came from as we all know that greatly effects the way you cook your beef), my steaks were cut too thick even though I had talked on the phone with a woman who specifically asked me how thick I wanted my steaks done. My roasts were cut too small and bones were left in even though I specifically asked to have my beef be boneless. I was extremely unimpressed by the woman I spoke with on the phone as well. She was very abrupt, fast moving, and didn't really seem to care. Our family will never go back and have been absolutely unhappy with our cuts.

It was a few weeks ago that we made an appointment and met Lisa at the Oostema Farmstead. My…read morehusband has been searching for his perfect steak for the last few years and I'm happy to say, he is pretty darn pleased with the Wagyu Rib Eye he cooked tonight. We purchased a number of items and this was the first one he tried. Lisa explained to us what Wagyu is exactly (we didn't know) and how their farm operates and it was quite interesting! There is a lot of information on their website or just ask Lisa!! They also carry Angus Beef as well as American-Wagyu. Lisa also explained to my husband how to cook Wagyu and to our surprise..NOT on a grill. He followed her instructions and is very pleased! We will definitely be back for more but for now we are stocked. He looks forward to his next steak!!! The Farmstead store has some other items as well including some very awesome full zip hooded sweatshirts (currently $20!) high quality and I have to say I have been living in it If you are local and are looking for a great steak, definitely make an appointment with Lisa!! Thanks so much!!!

The new building has indoor seating for the blustery days, and outdoor seating in the shade or in the sun with views of the large pond and friendly goats (and sometimes baby cows). There is also a drive through window... inside you will find amazing cheeses many of which are prepackaged in smaller quantities for convenience or the friendly and attentive employees will cut for you from the blocks. In addition to cheese, they have Edaleen's ice cream yummmmm!! Coffees, sandwiches and lite fare. They also have some souvenir type items and t shirts. The Cheese Shop is a well kept secret and definitely worth the drive.. you will Not be disappointed!!! It's an amazing little spot! I have gone yet but I believe they are offering tours of the cheese plant as well as some Cheese making classes.

The staff was friendly and there's plenty of seating, including an upstairs seating area. I loved looking around the adjoining bookstore before deciding on my food.

Also, very friendly and knowledgeable service. Just be aware if you get product from the deli, because your total can add up fast! The potato salad is good, but it's expensive.
