From unique merlots to local coffee and
brewery creations, there is something for
everyone to take home and savor.
Keep calm and vacation on
Visit the Evergreen Valley Lavender
Farm and sit amongst the lavender
varieties in the warm sunshine. Pick
up some lavender essential oil to
keep the calm going year-round.
Try the local Flavor
Award-winning apple cider beckons visitors,
but nothing beats the fresh-made apple frit-
ters. In fact, they were voted the flavor of
Thurston County in a recent contest and
even have a local candy flavor made after
the sweet mix of cinnamon and delicious-
ness. Lattin’s Country Cider Mill & Farm’s
baby farm animals and goat walk will make
hearts smile.
