Nash’s Farm Store is proud to support local farmers, value-added producers and artists by providing a venue for their products and creations at Nash’s Farm Store. Periodically, we will introduce you to some of the innovative and dedicated local farmers and artisans that make the North Olympic Peninsula a richer and more beautiful place to live.
Joy Farm, Sequim
Nash’s Farm Store is proud to offer local organic produce from Joy Farm, right here
in Sequim! Eleanor Rose is no stranger to the local organic produce scene. More
than likely you’ve seen her at the Sequim Farmer’s Market, where she assumed the position of Market Manager in 2017. With Eleanor’s education and vast experience
in both farmers markets and the production of healthy organic produce, it was an easy fit. Her photo comes from the Sequim Gazette.

2018 was the first season of production for Eleanor and her family on Joy Farm, located on Macleay Road in Sequim. The farm is certified organic and her husband, Balyn, does the field work with their team of Belgian draft horses. (Just that by itself is seriously cool, right?)
Nash’s Farm Store will have plenty of Joy Farm’s produce on the floor, including their tasty yellow and purple potatoes and green Savoy cabbage. The purple potatoes are of the Purple Majesty variety, and yes, they are purple all the way through. The flesh is very tender and flavorful when roasted or pan fried. As the color suggests, this is one of the more nutritious potatoes with very high antioxidant levels. The green Savoy cabbage makes the perfect summer coleslaw. It’s delicious eaten raw or cooked. Thank you, Joy Farm!
