Last Updated 03/29/2022
The start of spring in Skagit County also means the annual reopening of Snow Goose Produce, a vegetable and fruit market that has grown in popularity among the locals and tourists alike. The sunshine and clear skies bring long lines of people, waiting in anticipation for a gigantic scoop of the delicious ice cream the market has become best known for.
Snow Goose Produce first opened in 1984 by Mike and Mary-Louise Rust. The couple shared a passion for organic sustainable food and wanted to create a place to promote delicious ingredients and local fare. Snow Goose has stayed in the family over the decades and is now run by their youngest son and daughter-in-law.
The farm fresh produce market offers up a wide selection of vegetables grown organically on the market’s land, along with fresh and smoked seafood including live oysters, crabs and clams, wild sockeye salmon and halibut.
Snow Goose also offers a variety of local fresh fruit, homemade jams, cookies, brownies and baked bread (including gluten-free options), artisan cheeses, as well as pickled and canned vegetables and jams. In addition, there’s a nice selection of locally made micro brews, Washington wines, fresh flowers, and hand-crafted planter boxes made by a local wood worker.
There is plenty of free parking in a gravel parking located alongside the market and round picnic tables for guests to sit and enjoy their delicious finds.
Did we mention the ice cream?
If the sun is shining in the Pacific Northwest, you are sure to find a line of people waiting patiently for their turn to select one of the 48 flavors of ice cream served up daily at Snow Goose Produce on homemade waffle cones. The market is known for their generous scoops of ice cream from Lopez Island Creamery and Cascade Glacier, an ice cream company based out of Eugene, Oregon. Grab a seat at one of the many tables right outside the produce stand and soak up the sun.
