The San Juan Islands are an archipelago of more than 170 islands spanning forest, rocky outcroppings, marsh, pasture, orchard, and cultivated land, the traditional and hereditary territory of the Coast Salish peoples, who have stewarded these lands and waters since time immemorial.

Today, 13% of that land — some 18,400 acres — is actively farmed. San Juan County farmers grow mixed vegetables, orchard crops and berries, lavender, grains, hay, grass-fed meats, dairy, eggs, and value-added products like artisan cheese, compost, and distilled spirits. Whether you live here or are just passing through, the best food in the islands is grown right here.
