Shop ships tastes of Olympic Peninsula to outside world
Port Townsend — One year ago, Steve Moore and Victor Judd hatched the idea that became Mystery Bay Shipping, an entrepreneurial business that promotes North Olympic Peninsula food products and in turn supports those who produce them.
“We saw the range of food that was available at the farmers market and thought there was a way to ship it to other areas,” Judd said.
“We saw there was a lot of cool stuff being produced locally and wanted to create another market for those products.”
Products are from throughout the Peninsula and Whidbey Island.
The delivery system is the gift basket, an artfully arranged combination of related items that provide the recipient a taste of what the area has to offer.
“There are a lot of neat stuff coming out of the area, and the people making them are personally connected to the products,” Moore said.
Sending these products to people across the country extends that connection to others who may or may not be familiar with the region but can enjoy some unique taste treats.
The content of the baskets are determined by the giver, who can choose from more than 200 products to personalize the basket for the recipient’s taste.
