What is there to do in Chimacum, Washington?

Chimacum sits at the centre of the farming valley on the eastern Olympic Peninsula, twenty minutes from Port Townsend. Within a few miles you can tour The Glendale Farm, drink cider and hear live music at Finnriver Farm & Cidery, shop the Chimacum Corner Farmstand, and walk the trails at Chimacum Ridge Community Forest. It is a working agricultural valley rather than a resort town, and most of what there is to do here happens on a farm.

Support the farm

Build the farm stand and community hub

Five farms grow food on this ground and none of them has a permanent place here to sell it. The farm stand will be a retail space for what is grown at Glendale, with cold storage, a coffee bar, a workshop area, and check-in for camping and volunteer days.
