Lummi Island Farms
Full Bloom Farm
The Marshall family moved to Lummi Island in 1984, restored the historic Beach Store, and reopened it as a café. Their farm started as a small garden to supply the café, providing seasonal produce for the menu. After the family sold the Beach Store, Lis followed her passion for growing rare and exceptional peonies. She shipped root divisions nationwide and supplied cut flowers to the local community and florists. Soon, the farm grew into a diversified vegetable production and a new orchard of French cider apples for cider-making.
Today Full Bloom Farm continues to produce a wide variety of vegetables, fruit, eggs, indigo, flowers, and harvests solar-evaporated sea salt. They grow everything using organic and no-till practices. You can shop their farm stand on their website. They also offer other delicious products from local producers in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. May until July they offer peony bouquets from their collection of rare and beautiful peonies. For more information please visit their farm website.
