One of the great benefits to living in Anacortes is that so many fun destinations a just a short side-trip out-of-town.

 

One of my family’s favorite is to head for Bow, about 20 min. away from Anacortes.  We drive east on Hwy 20 Spur towards I-5, but turn left on Bay  View Edison Rd. following the coastline along Padilla Bay, then through some fields, and around the bend to Edison.

 

At the end of this 20 min. scenic cruise, we make a beeline for the BREADFARM and SLOUGH FOODS to select some special treats for our car-nic.

 

 

At the Breadfarm, we have a wide choice of fresh, organic artisan breads and baked goods to select the basics for our meal.  A baguette, fig  panini rolls, or potato bread all work just fine!  Every loaf is hand formed, and every loaf is DELICIOUS!

 

Immediately next door is Slough Food.  Here owner John DeGloria offers an excellent selection of European wine, cheese, and luncheon meats, as well as other surprises.  After few slices of “this” and some of “that”, we are good-to-go.  It isn’t far to find a nice place to park and munch.  A few bites later, we can even believe we are back in Europe!

If you don’t think this is one of the best tasting lunches ever, call me, and well——I’ll do something about it!
