The farm, Marie Lincoln’s pride and joy, has been an island attraction since she bought the acreage over two decades ago in 2005. A beckoning little path lined with grass and stones meanders from the parking lot, past a large metal rooster, to an enchanting shop. Once a workshop and garage, the building has been lovingly converted into a wonderful destination filled with all sorts of delightful chocolate treats.

It’s a place where they remember your name and your likes and dislikes. Have a “usual”? They’ll remember it. They love what they do and who they serve. Community has always been a key word for Sarah and Brian Bystrom.

On Whidbey Island, preservation is not a theory. It is a roof that must be replaced before the rains return, a hinge welded back into obedience, a hayloft stacked against winter. At Eckholm Farm, nestled inside Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, history isn’t just scenery—it’s woven into the daily workload.
