Produce Market at Copalis Crossing

About five miles before you reach Seabrook, there is a new produce market at Copalis Crossing on Powell Road.  We noticed it the last time we visited Seabrook, but didn't stop.  Yesterday, on Sunday, we drove the five miles back to the market to check it out.  We were also in the market for fresh vegetables for a large salad to last our stay here at Koa Surf and Board.

We arrived at the market, and the produce stand is located in the former garage of the home there. The owner is a contractor and farmer, and he and his wife bought an old barn-type building that has had many iterations since the mid-1800's.  Most recently, it was the building that housed the train depot for Pacific Beach.

This couple bought the structure and moved it to their existing five acres, and started the renovation.  Today, they've added three other small outbuildings, and a walkway between the home and the produce/garage area.  The display cabinets are very nicely done, as is the entire homestead.  There are several large gardens filled with kale, lettuces, and many other heirloom vegetables.

Quite a bit later, we left with two large bags of salad ingredients and fruit, and a lot of information about the history of Pacific Beach and this little roadside stand.
