Meet Heather and Hallen (1). Heather is a self-taught baker who tweaks family recipes to create scrumptious treats like our Moon’s Cafe Island Time carrot cake. Next up is her chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate raspberry ganache. We’ve sampled both, and just like Hallen, we are wholehearted fans!

Richard polished off his “strawbabies” while proudly explaining how he broke his wrist on the monkey bars. Nine more days until the cast comes off! He hasn’t let it slow him down — he’s still painting, drawing, and strolling the beach. His mom says the store is a bright spot in their week and loves visiting from Port Ludlow for drinks, produce and treats.

Sisters Oaklynn (6) and Finnley (3) light up our aisles every time they visit. The girls love to spend time with Grandma Gigi watching My Little Pony, picking berries and shopping at our store. Oaklynn’s favorite thing about Finnley is her “crazy” and Finnley’s favorite thing about Oaklynn is pulling her hair. Sounds about right!

We strongly support pajamas all day long. These lucky siblings: Solomon (6), Rebekah (3), Naomi (4) and Jeremih (7) visit Marrowstone every summer. Store favorites include animal stuffies, ice cream + sprinkles and visiting Nana (Sarah!) while she works at the store. This is the first summer Jeremih was allowed to kayak to the store!

This is a love letter to Quince. Our store shines brighter whenever you pop in. Whether you are bringing flowers for our customers or grabbing snacks for biking with dad, your energy propels us all. Yes, we admire your entreprenial spirit and appreciate your flowers on our counter. But most of all we adore the person you are becoming.

Remember Conner from last summer? He’s now 9 and remains our favorite corn model (he devoured this cob raw). He’s excited to go salmon and lingcod fishing with dad and grandpa this summer. Next summer Conner will be allowed to kayak or canoe across Mystery Bay to the store for ice cream and corn. He’s growing up so fast!

Kai, Rob, Etolin (10) and Kingston (8) loaded up their summer toys and headed to Mystery Bay. But first they stopped at the Nordland General Store for a box of lunch treats and drinks! This family loves the community vibe of our store. We hope you were able to sail El Toro and enjoy a beautiful day on the water!

We have lots of options to show dad extra love this weekend! You know dad is always right. And we’re mostly right about what makes dad happy. Besides you, that is.

Over 170 friends, family members and neighbors gathered to celebrate our One Year Anniversary operating as a community co-op. From 102 years old to 4 weeks old, people connected on a bluebird Saturday to recognize what can be achieved when a community comes together for the common good.

Kara, Nat (4) and Marian (1) visited us while staying at Fort Flagler. The kids happily explored our toy selection while mom and dad shopped. Everyone left with something new to try including Propolis farmhouse ales and Cearra’s cookies. Dad said our candy jars remind him of his childhood general store in Stanley, Idaho. Awww…

Ryan, Willa and Josie (6 months) visited us from Oregon. Ryan and Willa honeymooned on Marrowstone in 2022. They were delighted to see our store reopened this week. Willa bought a few bottles of our Marrowstone Vineyard wine because she said drinking the earthy wine at home reminds her of our little island!

Meet Isla (4), Mallory, Josh and Henry (2) from Sequim. This sweet family came for the day to visit Fort Flagler and family on Marrowstone. The kids were super excited about our toy submarines, pullback cars, chocolate milk & stickers. We think this family wins “best boots” this weekend!

Grace and Mary are beaming with their Ines Rosales tortas. Mary (right) fell in love with these crackers living in Spain almost 30 years ago. Mary moved to PT recently and was delighted to find her Spanish treasure in her new hometown. These new friends also recommend our Newquist Forge and Pane d’Amore treasures!

Kyle, Griffin and Eric are perfect NGS hat models! This handsome trio visited us every day during spring break for bake-at-home cookies, snacks, ice cream and meal ingredients. And lots of wine & cider for the dads!

Spring has sprung! Laurie from Dragonheart Flowers delivered joy to our store with the season’s first flower bouquets. As an extra bonus, Oliver (6) joined mom for the delivery and scored a Cearra chocolate chip cookie. If you see Oliver, ask him about his recent salmon fishing!

Meet Henry (8), Thatcher (6) and Maren. Henry loves coming to the store for fruit and candy. “Me too” says Thatcher! This active family kayaks, canoes or SUPs across Mystery Bay for ice cream at the store. So fun! Thatcher wants you to know he sleeps in mom’s Marrowstone Island shirt…purchased you know where!

Meet our new neighbors Kamala and Paul! Want to know why they’re beaming? They recently retired and bought a home on Marrowstone. Two wise decisions! They say Marrowstone is the whole package. Quiet. Close to the mountains. Fabulous community store with yummy treats. Welcome neighbors!

Two and a half year-old Finnley is a shopping rockstar. She can fill her shopping cart with goodies faster than Grandma Gigi can take them out. Did you know Finnley’s uncle donated the materials and labor for our stunning front countertop? Our store’s special sauce is families like these.

Meet 2 year-old Rune. This shopper-in-training visited with his dad Stewart. Stewart told us he used to ride his bike to the store for penny candy back when there was a gas pump at the store! Now he stops for staples, local beer and organic produce on his way to visit his parents on Marrowstone. Have fun with your grandparents Rune!
