Blue Mountain Station celebrated the opening of the BMS Nursery

The skies cleared and the sun came out to celebrate the Blue Mountain Station Nursery Grand Opening. Local plant expert, Gordon Farley, has curated a selection of decorative and garden plants that thrive in the Touchet Valley conditions, including coleus, begonia, and heirloom tomatoes.

Owner and distiller for Cedar Rain Spirits, Robert McNicol, offered samples of the distillery's vodkas, which ranged from unflavored to espresso falvored spirits. Cedar Rain Spirits is veteran owned and operated.

The Blue Mountain Station offers artisan-produced wines, ciders, meads, dry goods, produce, coffee, and plants.

Josh Sanderson, Red Band Cellars Tasting Room Manager, had a selection of their red and white wines available for wine lovers to taste during the opening. Red Band Cellars utilizes multiple spaces at the Port of Columbia to produce top-notch wines with locally-grown grapes.

Mike Collins combines his love for bees, and knowledge of bee keeping, to create meads that showcase the work of each hive. Bard and Bee Meadery is one of Blue Mountain Station's newest additions, but the sweet sips are hard to miss!
