bow.

we're located in the tiny village of bow, washington, in a space that was a general store, pizza place, auto body shop, restaurant and full serve gas station. known for years as the chuckanut valley store, the big yellow sign is still around.

 

​

in the name.

the name cob + cork is a tribute to the soil and water that surround us.

​

cob: as in corn cob, a symbol of all things from the land, and the hands of farmers and growers.

but it also means a stocky riding horse, a male swan, a mixture of unburned clay and straw used for constructing walls of small houses in england and a crudely struck old spanish coin.

​

cork: a buoy, traditionally hewn from cedar, woven into a net to keep it afloat, a reminder of the hardworking local fishing community, rugged sea and wild harvest,

but it also means a stopper for a bottle or jug, the outer layer of the cork oak and a county in ireland.
