Daily News: Wahkiakum small farms are coming back, big time.

Today's Longview Daily News has a nice story on the resurgence of local food in Wahkiakum County. Tony Lystra spoke with the Stockhouses and Howells of Two Island Farms Market, Ginni Callahan and Jennifer Johnson who said that at the market "You drive up and they greet you and there's a popcorn machine and people are sitting around talking and having a glass of wine. I love it. We're spoiled out here."

She's certainly got that right!

I've had two lovely meals with lamb from Greyfield's Farm, vegetables from the Stockhouse's CSA and the market in as many nights and I am feeling pretty spoiled myself. Since the market opened this year we've also enjoyed Kathleen's pies and, of course, the Speranza's bread while our garden has benefited from the variety of plants available at the market. Stopping by the market on Friday afternoon is also a great way to catch up with your friends and neighbors as you linger over beautiful fresh vegetables.
