Each time we visit Lopez Island we make sure to drive over to the Horse Drawn Farm's farm stand,…read morelocated down a long gravel road off Port Stanley Road. Horse Drawn offers an impressive variety of seasonal vegetables as well as meats (frozen) and, when you get lucky, eggs. Everything they sell is absolutely first rate. Much to their credit they work on the honor system. Prices are clearly marked. You take what you want from the display cases or freezers. Weigh your produce on the scale. Record the amounts on the clipboard. Add it up on their calculator. Pay by cash or check. We first encountered them years ago at Lopez Island's Saturday farmers market. Since then whenever we're on the island we frequent their farm stand. When you consider that they plow their fields using non-fossil-fuel-powered farming methods -- teams of actual plow horses, as their name suggests -- you feel genuinely happy purchasing and consuming their food. They're part of what makes Lopez Island a wonderful place to visit.

It's Linda's features a delicious line of products, including garlic dills, pickled garlic, pickled jalapenos, and (our favorite) bread & butter pickles. No preservatives, no artificial flavors or colors. She sells them at her stand at Lopez Island's Farmers market as well as through the town's main grocery store, the Lopez Village Market. Whenever we visit the island we always pick up at least a couple of jars. Another example of a small local business that produces a truly quality product that outshines the mass-produced products competing for shelf space in the national chain stores.

I couldn't in good faith give Horseshu a glowing review or recommend it to friends or family…read moredespite the fact that the owner was perfectly lovely to us and even extended a 5% discount on our beginner's forest ride. The resources and the good intentions are definitely there at Horseshu. That being said, I had a several expectations that were not met. I feel that a beginner's ride should include a quick 5-10 minute safety overview before riding, an explanation of what the ride will consist of (i.e. "We will ride around the arena for 5 minutes until you feel comfortable, then head out to the trail for one hour, then circle back to this arena."), some time getting to know the horses and being introduced to their names and personalities, time for photos in the woods, and a partially-narrated tour with information about local flora and fauna. None of these amenities expectations were met, much to my disappointment. Therefore, I feel that the ride was not a good value. Our guide was callous and resentful. He used curse words several times which for me was not a big deal, but if I had been visiting with my family (and/or children) it would have been distressing. It's possible I caught him on an off day. I had to ask for nearly everything including just getting the name of the horse I was riding.

They will run up to you for food and some are more aggressive than others in pushing their "sheep friends" out of the way, but it was so much fun and nothing to be scared of.

The space was very open and lots of room to walk around to look at the merchandise (they have a partnership with folks in Ireland which is awesome to the see clothing from there) and lots of info to share. Seems like a nice and well taken care of "farm". Great stop in for kids and adults. Have fun!

They gave us two wranglers for just the two of us, and both were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. It's worth noting that the prices here are better than the other horseback riding outfit I'm aware of on the island that runs rides in Moran State Park. They don't actually seem to get a lot of business, even on mid-summer weekends -- which means that if you go with them you may well get a private tour like we did (hope they stay in business though!).

They were a little more money but well worth it.
