Long before packaged yeast or precise measurements, bread was made by keeping a living culture alive in the home. Starters were fed daily and often named & passed between families. They carried the imprint of the hands that tended them. Bread was was something kept, manna for the body & soul. Fermentation was understood through experience. People knew that grain needed time to change and letting dough rest made it easier to digest and more nourishing.

In many traditions, bread was considered a hearth food. Something that anchored a household and fed more than hunger and sourdough still carries that lineage. It requires patience, attention, and a willingness to work with what’s alive. The result is bread that feels like sustenance and provision.

We’ve got Robbie Ashburn 's fresh loaves in the shop right now so if you’ve been craving food that feels rooted and real, it’s here.

We just want to say how grateful we are for the support we’ve already felt this weekend.

So many of you have stopped in, shopped the sale, shared kind words, and expressed excitement about what’s coming next. It means a lot to feel this vision met with encouragement and curiosity as it continues to take shape.

If you haven’t made it in yet, we’re here today & tomorrow still and would love to see you. The sale is still going, Duneside treats are here, and it’s been really sweet getting to talk with people about what we’re building together. Hope to see you soon!

Pacific Coast Trading Co. is in the process of merging with Duneside Bread and what we’re building together is rooted in a shared belief that food and medicine belong in the same conversation.

Very soon, this will take form as Duneside Trading Co. A space centered on earth and hearth. Bread, coffee, apothecary offerings, and a few surprises we’re getting close to sharing.

These next couple of weekends are part of that transition. The shop is having a big sale as we prepare for what’s next, and Robbie Ashburn will be here hosting a pop-up today and tomorrow. If you’ve been curious, or if you want to support what we’re building as local women working together, stop in and shop. We'd love to see you!

Pacific Coast Trading Co. is merging with Duneside Bread the bakery of Robbie Ashburn. This partnership emerged from a coherent field of belief around serving healing and nourishment and a shared desire to offer food & medicine in ways that genuinely support people, wherever they’re at.

Each of Robbie’s breads are born of fermentation, patience, intuition, and an awareness of the unseen processes that make something truly nourishing. Food be thy medicine is a phrase that keeps surfacing between us as a lived practice and we’re beyond excited to begin offering sustenance to the community in a way that feels both old-world and deeply relevant right now.

Very soon, this vision will take form as Duneside Trading Co. A space rooted in both earth and hearth. An expanded bakery menu, sourdough and coffee, apothecary offerings, and many soon to be announced surprises we know this community is going to love. It’s something we’ve been tending and are finally getting close to sharing.

We also want to express how grateful we are to the people who have consistently encouraged us to keep building what we see. Especiall Reilley Shannon whose support and stewardship has helped midwife this next evolution and create the conditions for it to come into form.

This weekend marks an important threshold. The shop is having a big sale as we prepare for what’s next, and Robbie will be here hosting a pop-up. If you’ve been curious, or if you’d like to support what we’re growing together as local women, stopping in this weekend would mean a lot.

We’re incredibly excited to share what’s coming, and thankful for the community that’s helped carry this work to where it is now. 🫶🏼✨️

I have some news to share.

The shop is moving, and there are a few big announcements coming very soon. This next phase has been unfolding behind the scenes for a while now, and it feels good to finally say that things are shifting in a real way.

I want to take a moment to say how deeply I appreciate the support that’s surrounded this place. From familiar faces who stop in regularly, to conversations that turn into collaborations, to the many people who’ve encouraged this work from the beginning. This shop has always been shaped by community, and I’m genuinely grateful to be growing alongside so many thoughtful people.

As this transition unfolds over the next few weeks, a large portion of the shop is dramatically marked down. Shopping the sale right now directly supports this next chapter and helps fund the move and expansion that’s coming. It’s also a great time to stock up on favorites and gather what you use regularly.

More details soon. For now, just know that what’s ahead is rooted in everything that’s been built together so far, and I’m really excited about where it’s heading.

If you’re nearby, stopping in over the next couple of weeks truly means a lot. I’d love to see you and share a bit of what’s coming.

The outward movement of Aquarius begins to turn inward as we move into Pisces...toward assimilation. What’s been circulating starts to be absorbed and attention moves from exchange into experience. From talking things through to sensing what actually present. The mind loosens its grip on organizing and starts tracking subtler signals about what feels aligned, what holds weight, and what’s ready to be carried forward.

Pisces works at the level of integration. It’s less interested in refining ideas and more concerned with what remains after they’ve been lived with. This is where information becomes embodied understanding. Where experience settles into the system and starts shaping intuition, timing, and readiness. Boundaries can feel thinner here, because awareness is widening to include tone, expanded rhythm, & internal response.

This phase moves in waves rather than linear. There’s often a pull toward water, music, art, sleep, or forms of tending that allow the nervous system to integrate what’s already in motion.

Aquarius helps ideas move & pisces helps them take root. If you’re noticing this shift, it’s part of the seasonal turn. The shop has what supports this phase of the year. Teas and herbs that soothe the nervous system, mushrooms that support resilience without overstimulation, and handmade goods meant for rest, reflection, and gentle tending. You’re always welcome to stop in, wander for a bit, and gather what feels supportive right now. Open Friday through Monday, 9am-3pm 2542 US Hwy 101, just outside Seaview, next to Buoy 10 Espresso

Winter has a way of stripping things down to what actually needs tending.

For me personally, this one was heavy and demanding. It narrowed attention and made it obvious what could realistically be carried forward and what couldn’t. What stayed alive through the dark became evident, and what needed a more honest assessment came into focus.

Winter work doesn’t usually feel expansive. It often shows up as nudges of discernment and intuition, a process of identifying consistent threads while much falls away.

Now the conditions are changing, and what was held through winter is beginning to require adaptation and movement.

Here on the coast, the ground is workable and responsive. What was kept alive through winter is beginning to orient toward form, and this is the stage where tending moves outward and where environment matters. Preparation will soon turn into something tangible.

For the shop, something new is taking shape this spring. It’s rooted directly in what was learned through a difficult season, and it’s beginning to ask for space, structure, and movement. It’s not ready to be openly shared yet, but it’s close. More soon... 🫶🏼✨️

The first signs of spring show up in small, easy-to-miss ways. The light is reaching a little further into the shop in the morning and the air carries more moisture than cold. Outside the ground holds a saturated smell that comes when the soil is active again. Even when the trees still look bare, there’s movement happening beneath the surface.

This time of year always has a pretty specific feel. We're still rooted in winter, but something is shifting. Conversation are turning toward plans that are starting to take shape again. The pace hasn’t quickened fully, but it’s no longer in deep rest either.

In the natural world this is the stage where energy begins to redistribute. What was held through the colder months starts to circulate again. Roots respond first & water moves. Organisms that were conserving begin testing their edges. The landscape hasn’t committed to growth yet, but it’s preparing for it. We move through a similar process. After a season of contraction, there’s often a return of curiosity. Ideas that emerged through winter start asking for attention.

This part of the year rewards patience, the work is mostly unseen. Here, we're asked to support what’s already present and notice what’s returnig.

The shop is open today and again this weekend with the shelves still holding grounding pieces of winter alongside the first subtle shifts toward the next season. If you’ve been feeling that early movement yourself, you’re not alone in it. The land is moving the same way.

Marty Christensen was one of my very first vendors. He came into the shop when it was just getting started. He showed up with pieces he’d made from driftwood and salvaged wood he’d collected himself.

He works with wood in a way that you can tell he pays attention to the natural world. He knows the different varieties and their properties and understands how they behave. He has a real affinity for cultivation & form, it shows in his finished work.

He makes candle holders, bowls, rolling pins, trinket boxes, small mushrooms, and a rotating collection of seasonal pieces. I think his work feels like bringing a bit of the coast into your home.

I love having his work here because Marty genuinely enjoys the process of turning raw material into something another person will live with and care for. That enthusiasm is real, and it carries through his finished piece.

He also helped make this place possible early on. He's consistently offered inventory at a price that's allowed the community to come in and take something home that would last, something well made and meaningful. His and his wife’s encouragement throughout this process has mattered more than they probably know.

Marty’s work has been part of this shop from the beginning, and I’m grateful it continues to find its way into people’s homes from here.

I met Jenna several years ago in Spokane, during a period when we were both developing our own botanical products. We connected over a shared love of plants.

Her work is oriented toward recovery and resilience, helping people move through their lives fully and then return to themselves afterward. There’s an adventurous quality to how she lives that shows up naturally in what she makes. Her bath bombs & pain creams are made for recovery and evenings when the system needs to downshift and recuperate.

Jenna is a Level 2 NAHA Certified Aromatherapist, Licensed Massage Therapist, Restorative Yoga Teacher, and a Yomassage and Sports & TCM Cupping Certified practitioner.

I carry her work because I trust how it’s made. I know the intention is clean and the care is real. The product reflects the person behind it. 🫶🏼✨️

The wheel has turned again, and today is the midpoint between the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring. It’s easy to miss if we're not paying attention. The days are still cold and wet but something is certianly shifting.

We’ve moved through the long descent of late autumn, into the stillness of winter, and into the solstice itself, a time of holding and contraction where things were allowed to fall away without needing to be resolved right away, and where insight arrived ahead of movement or form.

Now the energy changes. This is the quickening. The phase where what was revealed during the descent begins to ask for form. Where insight turns toward embodiment and ideas and aspirations that surfaced in the dark start to test their weight in the light.

Imbolc carries a feeling of patience and hope, but also vulnerability. What’s emerging now is still tender. It exists more as impulse than plan, more as direction than certainty. There can be a sense of exposure here, of seeing something we care about before it’s fully ready to stand on its own.

The name itself translates to “in the belly.” A fitting image for this time of year. Life is gathering, not visible yet, but undeniably present. This is a season of self-centeredness in the truest sense of the word. Not self-absorption, but self-awareness. A turning inward to locate what’s true, what wants to grow, and what we're willing to tend over the coming year.

It's a time for listening closely to what's survived the winter and recognizing which dreams are asking for care, and which were meant to be released.

The light is returning, slowly, the ascent has begun. What we give our attention to now matters more than it seems.
