2 Best Shopping in The San Juan Islands, Washington

According to Girl Meets Dirt founder Audra Lawlor, fruit is affected by terroir, just like wine, and the salty San Juan Islands breezes certainly seem to work magic on locally grown stone fruit and pomes. Lawlor's small-batch jams made in a collection of heavy copper pots are the perfect addition to a charcuterie board, with complex flavors like Cherry Fig Leaf, Island Plum, and Orange Peppered Peach. The shop also carries housemade shrubs and bitters.

This rustic oyster farm is tucked into a small bay two miles south of Roche Harbor; the best time to buy oysters is November through April, and you can buy, shuck, and eat them on-site; the farm sells local bakery bread, cheese, charcuterie, salads, and wine if you want to make a meal of it.
