Rave Reviews for Everybody's Store

Everybody's Store, the exotic grocery, thrives in Van Zandt at the north end of the lush South Fork Valley. Just a stone's throw from Bellingham (Washington State, USA), Everybody's has exactly what the name implies, a cornucopia of goods for you. Hailed by the Seattle P.I. and Pacific Northwest Magazine as a food mecca, the L.A. Times touts their "encyclopedic array ... (Everybody's) will bag organically grown produce, medicinal herbs, home-baked goods,wines and smoked salmon, plus books, wool hats and socks." 

 

Everybody's Store, Where Upscale Meets Down Home

This charming general store has been serving the community for generations. Inside, it's your choice, from brightly colored clothing and indigenous crafts to dozens of delectable cheeses and fine smoked meats. Check out one of our recipes. Relax by the garden, enjoy a giant sandwich or an ice cream cone. Ask for a map to the Van Zandt Coal Mine or stroll to the nearby Nooksack River.

 

Visit Us for Gifts, Wearables and Food

Oftentimes we get communications from curious folks out there in cyberspace who would like a copy of our "catalog." Fact is, we're just a rural grocery. It is a special kind of grocery which of course, is best seen in person because the Nooksack has carved out one gorgeous and serene river valley.

But nevertheless, what you tap into on our website is, at the moment, the extent of our "catalog". Think of it as the tip of the iceberg. You have to imagine what else we might have for your enjoyment and if you really want something special along the lines of what you see displayed, just e-mail your custom order and we'll serve you, much as we do with our "walk in" customers.

 

Our Story

Everybody's Store has been here since 1970, so our story of who we are and what we do can get pretty lengthy. First of all our food, gift and health products are always first class and they are outstanding. Much of what we sell is custom-made for us, and much else of what we offer you has been carefully chosen for quality and enjoyment. That having been said, I'll tell you that we didn't get into this business over a quarter of a century ago because we were first class merchandisers. We, Ma & Pa, Amy and myself, Jeff Margolis, wanted a house and a business in the country, where we could go "back to the earth," cultivate both land and family, and play some mythic role in building a community that promoted primary face to face relationships which supported health and happiness. Divine intervention planted us in this turn of the century General Store.

This little store with a residence and acreage for an organic garden and orchard continues to be a little piece of heaven. The gardens and orchards have expanded a bit. We even grow some fruits and vegetables for the store. This is what might be called a "holistic" business. Holistic means you de-weed the garden of dandelions (eating the greens, of course), wash the roots up real good, let 'em dry and then sell them in the Everybody's Store's alternative medicine section to a local physician who needs to shake a cold.
