Front Porch Farm — Attraction in Colville

I have driven by this place several times while visiting Colville and I was thrilled to see that it was finally open on a Tuesday afternoon. I'm so glad I stopped in! It is well organized and clean with loads of my favorite types of finds. Love all of the linens, Pyrex (from when Pyrex was truly indestructible), intriguing prints, Pendleton blankets (new and at great prices) and ALL those rolling pins!

Their store not only stocks produce but also local art, vintage collectibles, adorable gifts, handmade soaps/lotions/balm, and handpicked antiques (they restore some of them right there on the farm!).

They also attend several farmer's markets in the area (including one in Spokane that goes all summer, which is even more convenient for me!). They always bring a great selection of the freshest veggies, eggs, and honey to...

What a wonderful place for going back in time. The collection of antiques is fascinating to browse, even if I'm only there to pick up farm-fresh produce or healthy snack bars or homemade lip balms. The staff has a genuine love of serving/helping people, and I always leave with a smile on my face and a bounce in my step, knowing that I am supporting a local farm and...
