Sunny Farms is a Wonderful Place to Shop Local

Everyone who lives in Sequim loves Sunny Farms.  It’s a charming store filled with local produce, great selections of food, flowers, and other goods.  It’s definitely a top stop to make, even if you’re just in town for the day! We love to pick up lunch at the store (where they have a deli making fresh sandwiches and salads), before heading out to the beach or parks to enjoy the day.

There are weekly specials to help you save on your favorite products. The store always offers a great selection of in-season products including fresh fruits, vegetables, juices, meats, and cheeses for purchase. All produce available for purchase in our store is grown right here in Sequim and the profits support our local farmers and businesses. Supporting local farmers helps keep them in business and ensures that local Sequim residents have access to healthy, affordable foods to eat.

They also offer a wonderful range of supplements in store, and it is the perfect place to stock up on local, farm-raised pantry staples like protein bars, nuts, snacks, beverages, dried fruits, and homeopathic medicine. They sell a complete line of completely natural beauty products as well as honey, chocolates, coffees, and other goodies that are sure to delight almost any shopper.
