Nordland General Store - A Community Cooperative

A Little March Magic

Wow, this was fun! The 3rd grade class from Sunfield Farm & Waldorf School is launching their own classroom store, stocked with items they’ve made themselves. To gather inspiration, they took a field trip to the Nordland General Store.

The class is pictured here with a few of their favorite discoveries: Hello Robin chocolate chip cookies, Cosmic Crisp apples, a log pillow, and Good Crisps chips. In small groups, they shared their picks and explained why these items would win over customers.

This energetic crew loved trying their hand at the register, running the change counter, and testing just how chilly the walk-in cooler can get. Thank you for the visit and best of luck with your classroom store. We can’t wait to see what you create!

 

Neal, Carla, Eliza (8), and Gabriella (11) visited us from Seattle. This adventurous family rented a house at Fort Flagler, explored the bunkers, pieced together a crab from stray claws and shells on the beach and marveled at bald eagles. They loved the store, especially mom, who found the perfect birthday gift for her sister and fresh sandwiches for lunch.

 

Kat and Taylor have teamed up to create a new line of Marrowstone Island wearables. Taylor, our friend from Marrowstone Vineyards, is also a talented illustrator, and Kat is the graphic designer behind the Nordland General Store logo.

Their new design is a fresh take on the beloved artwork Marjorie created in the 1970s. We’re swooning over this update, which features our iconic bridge, a gathering of Marrowstone treasures, and the tagline “Strong Spirit & Salty Edges.” That definitely sums us up.

Proceeds from merch sales benefit MIF and help keep our people, property, and public spaces safe. Colors will change with the seasons and the original designs will still appear at events like the Strawberry Festival.

 

We made the easiest skillet brownies using ingredients all from the Nordland General Store. Everything we needed was right on our shelves. The Guittard baking wafers were perfect for this recipe. No bowl needed. Just blend the ingredients right in the skillet and bake.

They’re even better topped with ice cream or whipped cream. The recipe below is from NYT Cooking. Pro tip: If you use a larger skillet, you’ll need a slightly shorter baking time.

 

Daniel pulled up to the store in his 1973 Scout. He calls the paint job “psycho camo” and said he created the pattern using stencils from native plants. An earlier version featured stencils traced from his daughters’ hands. He told us he loves the local, nostalgic feel of the store and the communal spirit of our friendly co-op.

 

🍀 Lucky Finds

It’s shamrock season (technically native oxalis around here) and we’re feeling lucky. For the rest of March, all baseball hats, insulated mugs and totes are 30% off.

A little St. Patrick’s Day luck meets a little March Madness.

 

Looking for a Sunday outing?

Come join us at the Open Barn at Mystery Bay Farm on Sunday, March 15 and see the newest arrivals. This is a rain-or-shine event (the barn is large and toasty warm, just ask the goats!).

Even better, Rachael’s extraordinary cheese will be back in our store fridge just in time for the Open Barn.

 

Our author discussions continue!

We are excited to host Barbara Sjoholm, local Port Townsend author of The Reindeer of Chinese Gardens. This historical novel, set in Port Townsend, is perfect for anyone who loves local history and seeing familiar places through a new lens.

No need to read the book first—just come curious. Barbara will share stories from her research and writing process, followed by a conversation and book signing.
