Watmough Bay Farm

Lopez Island is stunning any time of year, but perhaps never more so than late June — when the sun stays high in the sky until nearly 10pm and forests of fir trees meet sparkling teal blue seas along the rugged coast. Watmough Bay Farm is a particularly picturesque spot on the island. Husbands and farmers Derek and Abe grow a variety of seasonal vegetables and herbs plus chickens and goats. Their pristine produce is beloved by local chefs including guest chef Nick Coffey. Nick’s Ursa Minor is famous for its obsessively seasonal rotating menu, changing daily to adjust for what’s available on the island. Prepare for an abundantly creative meal using plenty of Watmough’s homegrown goods plus some fresh-caught fish and perhaps a few wild edibles from the surrounding woods.
