CGNW Recommends: Bellewood Farms

When I think of fall in Whatcom County, I think of spiced cider, pumpkins, and corn mazes. This morning Cooper and I (#mediateamforthewin) went to a local farm just a few minutes north of Bellingham that has all of these, and then some. 

Our goal was just to go and get the film clips and photos that would capture the essence of being at Bellewood Farms. Well, when we pulled in right around 8am, the eastern sky backlit low-hanging clouds, and Mount Baker stood in all its majesty beyond the end of the pumpkin field. Just cold enough to enjoy a brisk walk around the grounds, but not so cold as to avoid picking up pumpkins or clambering around the playground made of tractor tires. The corn maze welcomed us into its beige and yellow arms, and we meandered through its curves and turns before being released back into the open air of an October morning in Whatcom County.

We went to capture the magic, and ended up experiencing it for ourselves. 

Between the distillery, the U-Pick orchard, the cafe & farm store with local and homemade goodies, the seasonal events, and the free activities (and photo ops!) on the grounds, there’s plenty for all ages to enjoy. 

Bellewood Acres ~ My Favorite Things

Raindrops and sunshine and pumpkins in fields  Lost in the corn maze, shooting corn cannons  Rides through the orchard on the tractor train These are a few of my favorite things 

Honeycrisp, Sonata, and Gala and Fuji U-Pick and We-Pick and plenty of goodies  Mount Baker sightings behind my selfie These are a few of my favorite things 

Burgers, paninis, pulled pork and their omelettes  Mac ‘n’cheese, and fish ‘n’ chips and homemade pot pie Sipping a cider (for kids or adults) These are a few of my favorite things

It’s a great place North of B-ham And you’ve got to go To walk through the fields and breathe in the air And experience Bellewood
