The Edison café has been in operation since the early 30’s. Before it was a café it was operated as a Texaco Station. Since that time many types of goods were provided here, directions to points beyond, penny candy, ammunition for hunters, tackle for fishermen, auto supplies, advice & eventually meals. Serving the community has always been a goal of The Edison Café. So many people have frequented this place that it should really be called The People’s Café. They return time and time again for its casual atmosphere, welcoming conversations and home cooking. “Shake the die” for morning coffee, sit and read the Seattle and local papers, join in the conversations. This is your place, enjoy it!

The farm is on 40 acres of fertile farmland in the beautiful Skagit Valley, surrounded by the Cascade Mountains & Puget Sound - midway between Seattle & the Canadian border. We make farmstead goat cheeses, meaning only our milk goes into making our award-winning cheeses and our herd of LaMancha goats are milked twice a day. The milk comes out of the goats and goes into the cheese vat with no fancy processes in between. Our milk is the Secret Weapon here. You can taste the essence of our Valley: the sea breezes, the grasses, & the surrounding farm activities.
