All About the Business:      Gray's General Store is a source for high quality, handmade, local goods.

And for the coffee and tea snobs out there, we've got some really good stuff for you to try! Our coffee comes from a Seattle roaster who buys direct, meaning everyone involved is fairly paid, and our tea is from an artisan tea-maker out of Portland. Customers have claimed it's the best tea they've ever had! Not only do we believe in quality, but we love having unique products in our store. Most things we carry are not available anywhere else in Grays Harbor and we are adding new things every day.

Advice for New Customers: Come in and say hello! Tell us what you're working on. Bring us your questions and out-of-the-box ideas, we love the challenge of answering them.

All About the Business:        Voss Acres Produce Market receives quality fresh produce and floral items through Charlie's Produce in Seattle, they have relationships with conventional and organic growers all over the world to create a consistency in the market year round. My husband Steve has tended to his vegetable garden using organic practices on this property since 2002 and with the market we now share his items in the market as they are available. We also carry gifts, art, pottery, gift cards and additional floral arrangements made by area artists.

What Makes Your Business Unique?         Voss Acres Produce Market is just the center element that draws people to pull off of Ocean Beach Road. On one side of the property there is the history story that we share of our house dating back to the late 1800's as it was then the train depot and later post office for the area. On the other side of the property we share our farm life in the growing of a vegetable garden and raising farm animals; currently we have pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. We collect eggs all week and sell them on Saturday morning.     

Advice for First Time Customers?  Tell me! I then will share the stories about this historical property and the interesting tidbits regarding the artifacts that are on display.  If you are interested in the garden, I will guide you through! Once the garden is layed out for the season there are easy to walk paths so you can enjoy seeing the whole garden up close however, country shoes are suggested for walking around after a rain! We invite you to "watch us grow" as we tend to the gardens and complete our projects so that it will become Voss Acres Produce Market and Historic Landmark Park! Come see us! We're open Daily!


Dating back to the 1800's, this house has a
rich history for the local area.
