Washington state prides itself on their support and encouragement of agriculture—from local to nationwide. With over 35,000 farms, the majority being family owned and operated, it has become one of the agricultural leaders of America.
In the small towns along the Olympic Peninsula, family farms and local homesteaders often sell their produce—eggs, honey, flowers, seasonal fruits, and vegetables—in handcrafted, wooden farm stands along the edge of the roads. With no one manning the stands, payment is made with the old-fashioned honor system.
