FOOD FROM HERE!
Greetings! And a warm welcome from Chimacum, WA, where the Chimacum Corner Farmstand has spent the past 12 years growing, flourishing, and always, Keepin’ It Local, as a rural natural grocer and nursery located on the Olympic Peninsula. We’re a scrappy shop that started out small, but our humble aspirations to assist and uplift a slew of local farmers has since evolved into so much more. No longer just a simple farmstand, the Corner, as we’re often called, has since become a bustling community hub with goods of all kinds to not only inspire and delight, but to also make an impact. We continue to improve our region’s agricultural economy and food resiliency by prioritizing “FOOD FROM HERE” in collaboration with all of the wonderful folks from here. And we feel pretty dang lucky to be here and doing this work. Won’t ya come share in our luck and see for yourself?
Who’s that chick?
Have you met our favorite team member yet? Get to know our marketing maven and official mascot, Ms. Turnip Sprout! She’s small, mighty, and always poppin’ up to lend a hand. And she’s been with us from the start.

Corner Store Beginnings
When we say "humble beginnings", we mean it. We opened November 22, 2010, in an old auto parts store with 1/30th of what fills our shelves today. The nation was only beginning its creep out of a severe recession, and on opening day, a snowstorm blanketed Chimacum's streets. Despite it being the week before Thanksgiving, we offered not a single turkey. What were we thinking?
