FEELING GRATEFUL FOR YOU
Hello Chimacum Corner Community!
Well, friends, another lap has transpired around the Indy 500 of life. And boy do the laps go by! We are awfully proud to have run our 15th lap as a business. Fitting metaphor, as we were once a local car parts shop. One of the rusty signs of the former proprietor was unearthed from the soil last summer, and is planted at the foot of a lilac in the back of the property. The muck holds many mysteries…
One thing is for certain, that we love our community - of farmers, builders, herbalists, fisherfolk, artists, bakers, musicians, the list is limitless. We love seeing all the intricate connections - the farmer whose partner is a builder who is constructing a recording studio for the musician. That connection fostered because you both happened to get coffee at the same time that one day last spring. The core, intangible function of being a community hub is the cherished, special piece of the Corner that makes it a valuable space. It is always happening in simultaneity to the obvious, mercantile function, often at the junction between spices and oils.
We are so insanely grateful for our intrepid staff, die-hard customers, gifted producers, and gracious community partners that, taken all together, make a brilliant kaleidoscope of intentional rural life. It’s enough to make any chick cluck from the top of her beak, let alone Turnip, that tireless tiny cheerleader, now 15 years of age as well! Because of her persistent requests, Katy and Phil finally caved, and got her a smartphone. Her favorite use for it is taking group photos! See below.
Who knows what 2026 will bring. One thing that we do know is that we will be here, at the corner, cheering the farmers on as each crop makes their elegant return.
Semiahmoonally yours,
The Chimacum Corner Farmstand
