Bonfire and Seaweed Baths
Firelight, Tides, and the Ancient CoastOffered February 16 – 22, 2026 |
|
|
As dusk settles over Lummi Island, guests wander down from Nettles Farm B&B toward the shoreline, guided by lantern light and the rhythmic hush of the Salish Sea. A driftwood bonfire crackles to life as the tide pulls back, revealing ribbons of glistening seaweed—kelp, dulse, sea lettuce. The three elegant slipper tubs are filled with hot water and sugar kelp, ready for each couple to soak in the luxurious richness of the experience.
Wrapped in blankets, guests sip warm elixirs and island wine while learning the culinary and medicinal uses of these ancient coastal foods. Seaweed roasts over open flame, brushed with farm butter and herbs, while stories of tide, tradition, and place unfold beneath the stars.
The night ends slowly—embers glowing, waves whispering—before guests return to the comfort of Nettles Farm, where deep sleep comes easy after salt air and firelight.
This is coastal living as it once was—and still should be.

Beat Bobby Flay at Nettles Farm
February 23 – March 1
Featuring Roy Breiman | Winner Season 9 “Hook Line and Sinker”
Artisanal Cocktails & Dutch Babies
Step into the warm, flickering glow of the Nettles Farm kitchen, where the morning mist still clings to the pasture and the smell of browned butter fills the air. This is not a cooking class—it’s a friendly culinary showdown led by Chef Roy Breiman, whose 2015 victory over Bobby Flay rocked the culinary world.
Guests gather around the hearth with hand-crafted cocktails infused with island botanicals before donning aprons to take on a deceptively simple challenge: the perfect Dutch Baby. Crispy edges, custardy centers, seasonal farm toppings—can you out-bake the chef?
Laughter, competition, and indulgence spill late into the evening before guests retreat to their rooms, bellies full and spirits high. Wake the next morning in a Nettles Farm B&B suite, where the island is quiet, the coffee is strong, and bragging rights are eternal.

The Mystical Lummi Island Tour at Lummi Rocks
March 2 – March 15
Some islands reveal themselves slowly. This one reveals itself to those who stay.
After a leisurely farm breakfast at Nettles Farm B&B, guests set off on a guided journey through the hidden and sacred corners of Lummi Island—old growth forests, quiet beaches, spiritual landmarks, and places known only to locals.
The tour culminates at Lummi Rocks, a dramatic seaside setting where a private lunch awaits. Long tables overlook the water as seasonal dishes highlight island farms, foraged greens, and freshly harvested seafood. Stories of Coast Salish heritage, island mysticism, and natural history weave through the meal.
Guests return to Nettles Farm in the afternoon, hearts open, minds quieted, with time to rest, wander the fields, or soak in the stillness before evening settles in.

Sockeye Potlatch on Clark Island
March 16 – 30
Open Fire Cooking | Ancestral Feast
This is the experience guests will talk about for the rest of their lives.
After an overnight stay at Nettles Farm B&B, guests embark by boat to Clark Island, where an open-fire Sockeye Potlatch awaits. Whole salmon—sustainably harvested—are prepared using ancestral methods, slow-roasted over fire as smoke drifts through cedar trees.
The feast is communal and reverent. Guests gather around long tables, sharing salmon, roots, greens, and seaweed while learning the cultural significance of potlatch traditions—celebration, gratitude, and abundance shared.
As the sun lowers and the fire burns down to coals, there is time for reflection, connection, and quiet awe before returning to Lummi Island and the welcoming warmth of Nettles Farm.
