Snow Goose Produce

I try to make my morning post, in general, something inspirational. I like to share something that will get your day off to the right start. Although I'm taking a break from the norm this week, I will say that I find today's post inspirational. It's not  quite the same kind of inspiration as I get from gazing into the Hoh Rainforest or reading my Bible, but it's good stuff. Let me introduce Snow Goose Produce.

If you love road side stands, farmers markets, and ice cream cones the size of your head (well, almost), you've just found a reason to head north of Seattle and into the farmland of rural Washington!

Wow! 1,000 feet above sea level! This is really only funny to those of us who live a mile high. 

I LOVE IT!

A true claim to fame: "immodest ice cream cones!" We saw several groups of precious old ladies come through the line. When you know you're getting on in years, why wouldn't you indulge in a 2,000 calorie treat?

I love when things are old because they are actually old, not just because it's cool to look old. Case in point, the hanging scale above.

It's not surprising that this little stand has their own brand of jams and jellies. Just take a look at the farmland pictured below...right across the street.

You are not going home empty handed when you see victuals like these sitting in arms reach! Morels, freshly baked breads, organic herbs... it was a little closer to heaven here, I'm telling you!

And the piece de resistance: Dungeness crab, right out of the bay (remember Sequim and the Dungeness Bay from earlier this week?).

See? They're waving to you saying, "Take me home and eat me!"

Oh wait! You're not actually there. Oops... Sorry. But that's why you have to go! You can get one already cooked like these little fellas or...

pick out your favorites from the tank. That's what we did. So come back later for "how to kill a crab" (it's not gonna stick the knife in itself gals) and a true Pacific Northwest recipe for how to eat your buttery and delicious crustacean.
