Skagit Food Trail

Self-Guided Tours for Foodies

Skagit Food Trail tours are self-guided journeys through local gardens, family-owned farms, markets, bakeries, eateries, artisanal producers, farm stays, and experiences around the magical Skagit River Valley & Salish Sea. Unlike anywhere else on earth, all five salmon species swim up the Skagit River and feed the farms with rich nutrients. These fields produce grains, flowers, vegetables, and fruit, while shellfish is harvested at low tide. These curated trails will help you explore the bounty of the Skagit Valley.
