Tieton Farm and Creamery cheese
“Just in time for spring, Bianca (chèvre), Sonnet (bloomy) and Black Pearl (ash) from this local creamery are back in stock. All are made with a blend of goat and sheep milk. They’re delicious and pair nicely with fruit, sparkling wines and rosé.”

Tandoor Chef Naan Pizza
“I specifically like the Eggplant one. I love it so much I even once posted a photoshopped picture of myself eating it in front of the Taj Mahal.”
— Matthew M., Merchandising
Maple Hills Creamery yogurt
“It’s virtually impossible to find a yogurt that meets my criteria (organic, grass-fed, whole-milk and local), and the Maple Hills products are everything but local, which is pretty darn good. Also, delicious. I could eat this every day for the rest of my life.”
— Lacey J., Fremont
Upton’s Naturals Bacon Seitan
“Easily the best fake bacon, it’s just the right balance of salty and smoky. I think it cooks up almost as crispy and chewy as real bacon.”
— Joseph S., Fremont
Fieldworks Weather Ready Hand Repair
“It has a lovely blend of olive oil, coconut oil and beeswax with calendula and bentonite clay. It has a great scent, a little goes a long way, and it lasts all day long! Great for gardeners.”
— Steven J., Issaquah

RAW Probiotics Ultimate Care
“This is my go-to for all-around wellness; just a few days of taking these boosts my energy, mental clarity, and overall health. It counteracts gut bacteria loss.”
