6th Annual Bitters Co. Harvest Dinner
August 29, 2013
With an overwhelming response to the announcement of this year’s Dinner on October 5th, the event quickly sold out.
Renee Erickson and staff will be preparing the meal this year. Twenty years of enjoying the foods and environments of Renee’s exquisite taste and eye, and loving the staff and culture she creates, we are honored to have her a part of our annual dinner.
Nicole and Maggie Holbert will not be preparing the meal as they have for the past 5. With the purchase of the Corner Tavern in Edison , a new baby, and frequent trips to SF (as a family member is involved with the Oracle in this years Americas Cup) their lives are full.
The Dovetails will be a part of the new, a duo from the valley who will play throughout the evening.
All else remains the same: the bounty of the Skagit Valley will be the fare, wines available as selected by John of Slough Foods, fresh cider – all served in and around our barn. As guests, will be the farmers whose produce we will be enjoying.
Here is to the fall.
Katie and Amy

FREMONT STORE CLOSING JUNE 1, 2013
May 7, 2013
At the 20th year mark of Bitters Co., we have decided to consolidate our business to one place, the Skagit Valley. With both of our households located in the Valley, our wholesale and online businesses thriving, and special events taking place in the Bitters Co. barn – all signs point to staying closer to home.
On June 1, 2013, we will close the doors at 513 N. 36th St. in Fremont. Much of the store’s merchandise will continue to be available online at bittersco.com.
We will celebrate our 20th anniversary with an sale at the store on Saturday, May 18th.
Future events to look forward to at the Bitters Co. Farm in the Skagit: June our barn sale and the yoga brunch, and in the Fall our 6th Annual Harvest Dinner.
Plans for more events (music, readings, film, workshops…) are in the making.
We are excited for this next chapter in the life of Bitters Co., and look forward to your continued participation. Our website will show our calendar, and we will be posting a quarterly newsletter to keep you well informed of our exploits and activities.
Thank you for the years of support and encouragement.
Spring is here!
March 26, 2013
The daffodils are in full bloom, tulips just beginning to show their heads. April will see the Skagit Valley alive with brilliant color.
Amy and I will be on our annual product development trip to Portugal the 6th of April through the 21st. We will be in the Alentejo working with our suppliers of cork, wool rugs, and ceramic table ware. We will head north from there towards the Douro region where we will meet with suppliers of our cotton textiles and barro negro, the black flameware ideal for roasting.
We will be looking all the time for new items to add to our Bitters Co. line, and for those wonderful one of a kind pieces.
Happy Easter.
Katie

Proud Sponsors of the 2nd Annual Edison Bird Festival
February 13, 2013
It was a soft grey weekend in the Skagit. On Sunday the fog lifted to clear skies. Short eared owls and 4 snowy owls were seen near Stanwood. Many harriers, plenty of snow geese and trumpeter swans on Fir Island, not to mention eagles.. Honorable mention goes to the dunlin, their flight above Skagit Bay was spectacular. A perfect birding weekend – Feb. 9th and 10th. http://www.edisonbirdfestival.com
