LOVE & CHOCOLATE
CHIMACUM LOVE
Love and snowflakes are in the air this week, and we’ve got plenty to celebrate with at the Corner! Chocolate, Corner Kitchen sweet treats, Hawaiian ginger and turmeric, the first local tulips, and new fruit trees and flowers are all on tap with the influx of a cold snap. Shower your loved ones with thoughtfully chosen goods from the Corner. Imbolc has passed and, though the snow might suggest otherwise, the promise of spring is on the horizon. A keenly selected gift is sometimes all the momentum one needs to chart their course to joy and dare we say, LOVE? Our mascot, Turnip, is a firm believer in joy and love spreading.
WILD ABOUT YOU
Nothing says true love like well appointed self care. And there’s no better source for conscious Northwest skin care than Wild Carrot Herbals. We have some sweet deals on their skin care products for this early half of February. Many of our staff use their products we carry. Especially good for scent sensitive souls!
If “chocolate” is more what comes to mind when you think of self care, we have you covered there as well. Deals on Hu, Chocolove, Honey Mammas, and Theo Chocolate abound. Or maybe the classic heart shaped selection of truffles is more your style? If so, local chocolatier, Elevated Candy Co. has just what you need in their selection of favorite truffles.
WE HEART OUR KITCHEN CREW
If your hunny has a sweet tooth, nothing says I love you like a house made Corner Kitchen treat! Keep your eyes peeled and check the sweets section often for all sorts of rotating confections. The most decadent fave these days? The Flourless Chocolate Torte! Complete with Mystery Bay Chèvre drizzle and a sprinkle of pistachios. If chocolate isn’t your thing? Then a classic Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting should do the trick.
LOVE IS BLOOMING
Beautiful blooms are starting land in the Nursery and they are cold hardy too! Don’t pass up these delightful perennials that are the first to bloom before spring has even set in! A fresh batch of Hellebores, Ranunculus, Bellis, Dianthus, Primula, Violas, and Anemones! Another novel idea for a plant-loving sweetheart: picking up a SIGNED copy of Midori Farm’s Vegetable by Vegetable! A practical and essential text for the Peninsula veggie gardener. Don’t forget that Midori still has vegetables stocked on the Produce Porch as well! And before you know it, plant starts will arrive! So bone up on your local gardening know-how with Vegetable by Vegetable to inform your seed selection and successions for the year.
SPICE IT UP
Nothing keeps the romance alive like fresh Hawaiian root crops. Add some zing to dishes made together, with Kolo Kai Organic Farm White Ginger, Turmeric, and Galangal. Stocked weekly direct from the farm, this year’s root crop continues to dazzle. Try making your own Energy Shots!
FLEURS D’HIVER
Fortunately for us, even in February we can get local blooms at the Farmstand. We are excited to have limited quantities of early tulips from Lexi Mara, as well as blooms arranged into thoughtful bouquets by Moonsnail Botanicals. What a delight to kick off the 2025 floral season! Snag some for your sweetie on the weekend! Or if cut flowers aren’t your thing, perhaps join the “Radicchio Not Roses” movement and make a gorgeous chicory salad for your Valentine. It’s all on the table at CCF.
