Sustainable Connections is excited to announce the September Eat Local Month Challenge, and invites all Whatcom County residents to commit to eating local meals in the month of September. The Eat Local Month Challenge comes with a free all-local meal plan and makes eating local easy!
Those who would like to enjoy the bounty of Whatcom County’s harvest can pledge to make local meals in a way that work best for them. Individuals can choose one of three challenge levels, from introductory to expert, and commit to make just one all local meal or many. Everyone who takes the pledge can also download a free all local meal plan created by Sustainable Connections, with a week’s worth of recipes and a meal calendar. There are a number of delicious dishes to try, from smashed potato salad with chorizo and aioli to garlicky kale soup. Included in the meal plan is also a shopping list, money saving tips for those on a budget, and suggestions for where to purchase local ingredients. Individuals and families are encouraged to share pictures of their all local culinary adventure on the Eat Local First Facebook page and the Eat Local First Instagram, #eatlocalfirst.
“Our community around local food doesn’t happen on accident,” says Sara Southerland, Food & Farming Program Manager at Sustainable Connections. “We create it each time we choose what’s for dinner, what restaurant we choose to support, and what kinds of ingredients we purchase at the grocery store.”
Eat Local Month aims to make eating local easy and healthy fun. With a cornucopia of delicious events and handy resources, anyone and everyone is invited to participate, and can take the Eat Local Month Challenge online at Eatlocalfirst.org. For a full directory of where to find local foods and farms, pick up a copy of the Whatcom Food & Farm Finder, also available online at EatLocalFirst.org.
Located in historic Fairhaven, Village Green Pet Supply is a welcoming place to visit with your dog. Photo credit: Theresa Golden.
If your dogs seem intent on heading in a certain direction while walking around historic Fairhaven, it’s possible they are tempted by the delicious smells wafting from Village Green Pet Supply. Owner Sally Noble carries a wide selection of high-grade dog and cat food, along with conscientiously selected treats in bins and bags throughout her boutique. “I watch people’s dogs try to pull them in here. People try to resist. I’m like, ‘Just walk through. You don’t have to buy anything, let your dogs come smell the place,’” Sally shares. “I had a lady who came in and she’s like, ‘I was dragged two blocks. I was trying to figure out where we were going and now I understand.’ Two blocks and you can smell this place, apparently!”
For Sally, the idea for Village Green Pet Supply began on a walk with her own dog. Moving back to Washington after a long stint in Portland, Sally missed the pet boutiques she used to frequent with her dog Lily. Seeing an empty storefront in Fairhaven, she pictured the type of boutique she wanted. With a little guidance from the Small Business and Development Center, she eventually made the leap from employee to pet store owner. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs — her parents successfully changed business ventures throughout their working careers — Sally feels she is carrying on the family torch. Installed as her front counter is the original wooden desktop her father used in his home office years ago.

With a degree in Community Development and experience as a Sustainability Coordinator for the City of Portland, Sally continues her passion for community and sustainability within her pet store as well. The sustainability part comes in with her careful selection of products. “When I was picking out my products here, trying to make sure that companies have some type of manufacturing that’s sustainable or the fish is from the ocean, not from farms, just sort of thinking carefully about product selection,” Sally explains. “The toys are really durable. I don’t have toys that are just going to fall apart and you have to buy them again immediately.”
When it comes to pet food, Sally researches and works closely with representatives to ensure their product fits in with her level of integrity. “I want to carry things that are safe for dogs and cats, so I am careful about the product selection. I’m trying to be thoughtful about what I’m bringing in,” Sally explains. “The companies have to be transparent about their process too. If they are really closed about how they are doing things, that’s not a good sign. High safety standards are really important, too.”

Within the store, customers have access to human grade pet food options made with humanely raised livestock, high in proteins, free of grains commonly known to cause allergies or digestion problems, and brands that have a great reputation. Pet food is also available in a variety of forms. Kibble, canned, raw, dehydrated, and freeze-dried are all available. Sally also offers samples for pet owners wanting to try a new food, but who might be concerned about whether their pet will like it.
Each day in the pet store, Sally experiences a sense of community. People have a need for connection and pets are a part of that. The store attracts customers and conversation from near and far. During my short visit at the shop, visitors from the UK, San Francisco, and the store next door all came in to share stories and find treats for the pets in their lives. “People love to talk about their dogs, too,” Sally shares. “I find some people just need to talk. It’s like a little bit of support. I have people that are becoming friends that are customers.”
Dogs also have their own reasons for coming into the pet store. “I think dogs are on good behavior too in the pet store,” Sally shares. “They’re just like, ‘I’ll do whatever you say. You have everything I want.’”

Sally shared a story about one dog that frequents the store just to check and make sure his pet food supply is still in stock on the shelf. Even dogs on strict diets still enjoy the pleasure they get taking in all the smells during a short tour around the store. Others enjoy a treat from the bulk jar or chomping on a yak chew while laying down on the boutique’s floor. “I actually do have dogs that lay down and they don’t want to go,” Sally shares. “They’re not moving. I literally have to grab a treat and walk out the door with the owner. They want to stay.”
Village Green Pet Supply can be found in Fairhaven at 1200 10th Street, Suite 104. Doors are open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, except Tuesdays.

Intriguing boutiques appear throughout Bellingham. And a plethora of one-of-a-kind shops pepper Old Fairhaven. We find unique gifts, gently worn high-end clothing, and eye-catching furnishings within walking distance. Tourists and locals alike enjoy spending lazy afternoons exploring vintage and consignment shops in Fairhaven.
While the Fairhaven Antique Mall closes its doors in October, two new vintage shops recently opened for business on Harris Street. In fact, a stroll down Harris features Something Found (1216 Harris Avenue), Current and Furbish (old Fairhaven Pharmacy building, 1115 Harris Avenue) and Southside Trends (910 Harris Avenue, #107). And a quick jaunt onto 11th Street brings you to the high-end consignment shop Serendipity (1201 11th Street, #102).

When I was on my way to Village Books, I noticed refurbished tables, dressers and colorful glass items spilling out onto the sidewalk. I wandered into Something Found thinking the shop was aptly named. Co-owned by long-time Southside residents Helene Fellows and Jamie Schwindt, the shop’s mission neatly fits on a business card. And browsers do find vintage, upcycled, jewelry and handmade wares in the shop.
The co-owners make good use of the small space without cramming treasures into every corner. With enough space to walk through, no one will knock over a glass vase with an unruly backpack or large purse. Glassware and ceramics make up the bulk of items. However, upcycled goods created by local artisans catch the eye as do a collection of glass hens located at the front of the shop.

As far as the location that once housed a record store, Helene and Jamie attract foot traffic. They have chosen just the right furnishings and vintage wares to place on the sidewalk to lure in wanderers. And on my visit to the shop, I watched customers delight in their purchases. One woman purchased a large ceramic tray that she planned on using for upcoming holiday parties. The shop fits in with current trends revolving around buying local and transforming old objects into fascinating centerpieces.

Cross the street and visit Current and Furbish for a similar experience. Artist Scott Ward and his partner Cameron Vail also sell one-of-a-kind items. While Scott and Cameron sell refurbished dressers and tables, the shop also functions as a gallery displaying Scott’s paintings throughout. The shop provides plenty of leg, purse and backpack room so it’s easy to browse without knocking over an expensive blown glass vase.
A collection of pewter crabs caught my eye as did the pink vanity tucked away in the far corner of the shop. The shop provides both luxury items as well as tourist fare in the form of postcards and knick-knacks. And the shop’s concept works well with the Fairhaven Pharmacy built in the late 1800s. The new occupants of the space also provide shoppers with a sense of whimsy without the prescription drug refills.

For those folks searching for high-end fashion at affordable prices, head to Serendipity. Situated next door to the Karibou Salon and across the street from Village Books, the shop’s emphasis is on contemporary bohemian or chic ethnic. Similar to Something Found, this shop drew me in with its sidewalk display. Designer jeans range from $10 to $50, which leaves some shoppers with extra funds to purchase unique jewelry, hats or shoes. Or what about one of those ethnic skirts to go with a mod bohemian or urban hippie look?
Lisa Lee founded the consignment shop in Kirkland approximately eight years ago and then opened another Serendipity shop in Bellingham two years later. While the clothing is carefully displayed, the shop has little elbow room. Yet the shop’s ambiance offers a pleasurable shopping experience. And while the shop appeals to locals and tourists, I only encountered summer tourists the handful of times I visited the shop. On one of my visits, two shoppers from Northern California seemed delighted to splurge on consigned shoes.

And for those on a clothing shopping frenzy, head down Harris Avenue to Southside Trends. This consignment shop owned by Kathy Lee (also the organizer for the annual Steam Punk Festival) features new and consigned sportswear and casual wear. Kathy Lee says that her biggest seller is clothing by Eileen Fisher. Kathy originally opened a shop in the Fountain District then she opened her shop near Bellis Fair Mall prior to landing in Fairhaven.
All the shop owners enjoy their Fairhaven locations as well as, fitting into current trends, which seems to be moving toward an eclectic mix of vintage and new. Something Found and Furbish and Current sell art by local artists and upcycled goods by artisans who transform something old and used into attention-getters. And the saying goes, someone’s loss is someone else’s treasure.

First inspired by a 2007 serial play at Bellingham’s Idiom Theatre, locally-made web series, Dark Darkness, has been accepted to the 24th Annual Raindance Film Festival in London, England that runs from September 21 – October 2. Episode 4: Snakeman’s Solitude was chosen as an official selection in the Web Fest UK division and will be screened October 1.
Producer and Director Wilson Large will attend the festival with his wife, Joanna. The episode is the final of four episodes that make up Season Zero of this adventure-comedy-fantasy web series. The series follows four flawed but powerful ‘Dark Lords’ who become reluctant allies as they solve a mystery to clear their names of a murder they didn’t commit and ultimately must learn how to be friends in order to survive.
Their local productions that spanned over the past six years have involved more than 90 area artists as well as the skills of connected and incredibly experienced L.A. transplants including CSI: NY’sJesse Collver, set designer Mel Cooper, and, production designer Garvin Eddy.
Episodes have already been screened and won awards at film festivals in Bellingham, Seattle, and Vancouver, B.C, as well as making the quarter finals of the NexTV Web Series & Indie Film Competition. Large is in the planning phase for the future of Seasons One and Two of the series including pursuing fundraising and state incentives for his projected $1.4 million budget as either a continued web series or a full-length feature film.
Large loves the vibe in Bellingham because “the filmmaking community here is talented, collaborative, and supportive.” He’s excited to dive into the next phase of Bellingham’s largest film project.
Less than half of Whatcom County households have library cards. To change this, the Whatcom County Library System just kicked-off the “Book Brain Challenge” campaign to get more local people signed up for WCLS cards during National Library Card Sign-Up Month in September.
To participate, people need to take a video of themselves doing something with a book balanced on their head—they can dance, cook, sing, unicycle, show off a hidden talent—the possibilities are endless. Participants then upload the video to theirFacebook page and/or Instagram and challenge three friends to do the same using the hashtags #BookBrainChallenge and #WCLSlibraries. If people don’t already have a library card, they’re encouraged to sign up for one at wcls.org.
“The Whatcom County Library System offers incredible resources—both print and digital—that enrich patrons’ lives and can save them hundreds of dollars every year,” said Christine Perkins, WCLS executive director. “Despite this, there’s still a large number of people in our community who don’t have library cards. We want to change this! Our #BookBrainChallenge offers an easy way for people to support the library, engage with their community, get more people signed up for library cards, and have fun while doing it.”
Over the last few months, WCLS has taken a new marketing approach with the “My Modern Library” campaign, aimed at promoting their digital services, such as eBooks, downloadable audiobooks, digital magazines, music streaming, free music downloads, online language tutorials, and even downloadable adult coloring books. Because of this campaign, WCLS has seen a huge uptick in digital service usage: music streaming and downloads are up 57%, digital magazine usage is up 50%, eBooks and audiobooks are up 14%, and online language tutorials have seen a whopping 447% increase.
Last March, WCLS also kicked-off online library card registration, making it easier than ever for people to sign up for cards (it only takes about two minutes!). So far, hundreds of people have signed up for library cards online. The #BookBrainChallenge builds off this modern approach by encouraging people to engage with the library in a new and digital way.
“We’re inviting everyone in the community—from business owners, to children, to local elected officials and beyond, to show their library support by participating in the #BookBrainChallenge,” Perkins said. “Ferndale Mayor Jon Mutchler has already posted his video and challenged other Whatcom County mayors to do the same. We can’t wait to see what talents people show off!”
On Saturday, September 24th Lydia Place and Boundary Bay Brewery will welcome 300 runners adorned in wedding dresses, tuxedos and bridal attire to the first EVER Wedding Dashers Fun Run, a unique and exciting new outdoor event designed to raise awareness and financial support for homeless families.
Wedding Dashers, a whimsically themed fun-run, kicks off at Boundary Bay Brewery, and sets off on a 2.7 mile course down the Boulevard Trail and back. The finish line is just the beginning, as the Boundary Bay beer garden is transformed into a faux wedding reception complete with DJ, cake, mimosas and games. Registered attendees are asked to put on their wedding gear, lace up their runners, and get dashing for families in need here in Whatcom County.
Wedding Dashers is the brain-child of Jenny Schmidt, local event guru, runner, and Events Manager of Boundary Bay Brewery. Her hope was to design a fun community oriented event to engage people in an important and challenging issue and cause, in an accessible and creative way. Schmidt, known for other local and highly attended classic events like April Brews Day, and Zombies Have Hearts, Too 5K hopes that the local running and non-running community finds Wedding Dashers as an approachable alternative to longer distance options, and gets their funny bones tickled at the same time.
“The team at Boundary Bay Brewery and I wanted to find a way to honor the incredible work that Lydiia Place is doing in Bellingham to end homelessness, while adding a little fun and humor to our downtown and beer garden. Wedding Dashers has been an exciting opportunity to collaborate with our local community and Lydia Place, while shining a light on this important issue,” says Schmidt.
Online registration is currently open. Register here or stop in at Fairhaven Runners. The cost to participate is an accessible $25, with 12 and under free. A limited edition tuxedo t-shirt by Iron Street Printing is also available to registered guests. On the day of the dash, event participants are invited to enjoy complimentary wedding hair styling services provided by The Beauty Institute-Schwarzkopf beginning at 8:00 a.m. at Boundary Bay on Railroad Avenue. Additionally, the first 100 registered guests will receive a wedding-themed goodie bag filled with exciting items and services from event sponsors and wedding industry professionals. All participants will receive a wedding themed participation ribbon, and can enter to win prizes and goodies courtesy of Wedding Dash sponsors. Donations include prizes from Fairhaven Runners, Boundary Bay Brewery, Belle Bridal, LyLy’s Wonders, Wise Buys, lululemon athletica and more.
With some Bellingham restaurants staying open as late (or early) as 4:00 a.m., late night hunger is easily satisfied. Photo courtesy: The Horseshoe Cafe/Facebook.
We all have come to understand the idea of a midnight snack. At home, cozied up in pajamas, our stomachs sometimes grumble far beyond dinner hours and eventually steer us into the kitchen. While pantry pickings and fridge food can sometimes do the trick, other times it’s just, well, blah. So, if you’re willing to hop out of those pajamas (or not—this is friendly Bellingham, after all) and decide to dine downtown, here’s a list of five restaurants your rumbly stomach and taste buds will surely thank you for.
It’s no wonder El Capitán’s is pirate themed — they really do have gold. And by gold I mean mouthwatering sausages, amazing pretzels, and all the extras and condiments you can imagine. Whether you go for a classic option like “THE Hot Dog (Bellingham’s Best!),” or something more along the lines of “The Veggie Dog” that’s paired with sun-dried tomatoes, you’ll be getting a steal.
One of the more interesting items on the menu is a specialty dog called the “X.O.,” which is manager Zac Cote’s top pick. This dog is made up of thick bacon strips, grilled onions, cream cheese and barbeque sauce. This place is certainly worth a visit.
Pel’meni
Food: Russian dumplings
Hours: Everyday, 11:00 a.m. – 2:30 a.m.
Location: 1211 N State St. Bellingham, WA 98225
Pel’meni is great because it’s a simple, quirky, little meal. Despite the few options — beef dumplings, potato dumplings, or a mix of the two — you will certainly find yourself feeling satisfied. To be honest, they really don’t need to add to the menu because it’s perfect just the way it is. Plus, as the late nights haul in a line of customers, you can wait as you listen to a variety of songs playing smoothly on their record player.
Retro vibes mixed with dumplings, sour cream, vinegar and hot sauce is a must-have for all Bellinghamsters now and then.
Pye Hole – La Fiamma Pizza
Food: Pizza and more
Hours: Thursday – Saturday, 11:00 p.m. – late
Location: Side window at 200 E Chestnut St. Bellingham, WA 98225
Stacks of fresh pizza–and other amazing options–await you at the window. Photo credit: La Fiamma/Facebook.
As La Fiamma’s website clearly states, “If the fire’s on, there’s pizza for you, drunky-pants.” And some of the best darn pizza ever, I might add. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy pizza as that midnight snack we all know and love?
But get this, the window offers even more than that. Yes, most of the time the window also offers up a “Big Turkey Leg,” “Super Stuffed Baked Potato,” “Hot Apple Pie,” “Garlic Knots” and a “Big Brownie.” So if the cheese, pepperoni, meat combo or veggie combo slices aren’t enough, you should be able to find something else. If you’re really more in the mood for a midnight meal you can even order full pizzas.
The Horseshoe Cafe
Food: Breakfast and lunch
Hours: Sunday – Thursday, 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 a.m. and Friday – Saturday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 a.m.
Location: 113 E Holly St. Bellingham, WA 98225
Hit your sweet tooth with a sugary helping of “Churro Waffles” from the Horseshoe Cafe. Photo courtesy: Horseshoe Cafe/Facebook.
The Horseshoe Cafe is said to be the oldest continuously operating cafe and cocktail lounge in Washington State. Specifically, they have been around since 1886. With so much experience behind them, the ‘Shoe offers loads of options and is open late into the night for those nighttime food cravings.
Rachael Satter, a server five nights a week, knows how favorable The Horseshoe Cafe becomes during late hours.
“We call it a post-bar rush,” she says. “It can get pretty busy.”
But with so many people ordering all over the menu, Rachael thinks the “Churro Waffle” is definitely underappreciated. This is a waffle that gets brushed with butter, dipped in cinnamon sugar and includes vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. So, breakfast food and dessert?! If that doesn’t cure your late night sweet tooth, I don’t know what will.
Sweet and savory — nothing can go wrong when you have either option. Especially with a crepe. Seriously, how often do you have the opportunity to chow down on a “Chicken Bacon Ranch” crepe packed with sharp cheddar, tomatoes and spinach? AB Crepes is a wonderful spot to go for that second dinner or well-deserved dessert considering that the crepes are a great size and great taste to match. Plus, with gluten-free and vegetarian options, everyone in your party should be able to find something fitting on the menu.
Make some moves and head downtown to end that midnight snack craving once and for all — or at least for tonight.
At Demo Days, shoppers can learn new ways to make use of seasonal produce from professionals like Sarah Southerland of Sustainable Connections and Electric Beet Juice Company. Photo courtesy: Bellingham Farmers Market.
Food To Bank On, a beginning farmer business training project facilitated by Sustainable Connections, is currently accepting applications for up to four new participants in 2017. They are proud to announce that three Food to Bank on participants were recognized at the Farm Fund Hootenanny awards last weekend.
The Food to Bank On project provides farmers with business planning resources, connects beginning farmers with mentor farmers, coordinates specialized workshops and provides new market opportunities. Participants are also paid to deliver fresh food to local food banks and shelters. Whatcom County food banks, soup kitchens and women’s shelters have received over $90,000 in fresh produce since the program’s start in 2003.
Food to Bank On participants go through a business planning series each winter, working with a cohort of peer and mentor farmers to write and revisit their business plans. They also receive marketing assistance and free membership to Sustainable Connections, enabling them to build their business through relationships with retailers, restaurants, and other established farmers. Fifty-two farmers have participated in the three-year program and 80% are still successfully farming – an outstanding rate for any beginning business. In order to provide a diversity of locally-available agricultural products, the farmers chosen for Food To Bank On grow and raise a variety of foods like vegetables, meats, eggs, flowers and more.
During last Sunday’s Community Food Co-op Farm Fund Hootenanny, co-hosted by Sustainable Connections, Food to Bank On farmers swept the awards. Food to Bank On participant Slanted Sun Farm was recognized with the New Farmer Award and Bow Hill Blueberries, a Food to Bank On mentor, was awarded Most Innovative Farm. In addition, Mike Finger from Cedarville Farm was honored with the Mentor Farmer award. As Anna Morris of Slated Sun Farm said, “we have so much love for this amazing community – we are so lucky to be a part of it!”
An original all-purpose seasoning made famous in a Niagara Falls, Canada restaurant is now available for sale in Western Washington.
Mr. Frank’s all-purpose seasoning is ideal for steaks, salmon, pork, chicken, vegetables, and even popcorn, according to company founder Lisa Campbell of Bellingham. The 8-ounce containers can currently be found on the company’s website, www.MrFranksSpiceCo.com and will be on retail shelves shortly.
“It’s the only spice you’ll reach for,” Campbell said. “It enhances flavor by itself or is fabulous with clarified butter and a few dashes of Maggi ®.”
Campbell’s father, Frank Postl, developed the seasoning for his restaurant, Frank’s Steak House and Tavern, which he opened in 1964 in Niagara Falls, Canada. Postl, who emmigrated from Austria into Canada in 1953, knew nothing of the restaurant business, nor even what a steak was, his daughter admitted.
“He did, however, have an acute sense of taste,” Campbell said. “He invented a steak spice that, along with his dedication to perfection, would eventually make him famous in Niagara Falls and his restaurant a huge success.”
Campbell followed her father’s footsteps; becoming general manager of three restaurants by the time she was 21. After stepping away from the hospitality industry, almost 2 decades later and upon the passing of her father, she recalled the popularity of her father’s seasoning and decided to carry on his legacy and bring it to retail shelves.
“Summer is an ideal time for Mr. Frank’s Spice because so many people are barbecuing,” Campbell said. “This also is a great area to launch it because we are a small but closely knit community that supports each other, particularly in business. Combined with people’s love of cooking, this has me extremely excited to bring my dad’s original seasoning to the Bellingham market. It truly is an incredible seasoning and I know people will love Mr. Frank’s the first time they try it!”
For more information about the seasoning and Mr. Frank himself, visit www.MrFranksSpiceCo.com.
