The Skagit Table: Food That Nourishes Community
We’re so excited to celebrate The Skagit Table as a Snail of Approval awardee!
In historic downtown Mount Vernon, Courtney Bourasaw and her team are creating food with deep intention, a place where every dish reflects a commitment to community, seasonality, and care. Nearly everything is made in-house from scratch, with menus guided by what’s fresh and available locally. From thoughtfully sourced breads and pantry staples to vibrant, nourishing meals free from seed oils and highly processed ingredients, their approach to “good” food is both grounded and inspiring.
Their commitment to “clean” is just as powerful. By sourcing locally first—even when it costs more—building real relationships with farmers, and asking important questions about how food is grown and raised, The Skagit Table is helping shape a more transparent and sustainable food system. Their use of freshly milled local grains, whole-animal and whole-plant cooking, and waste reduction efforts (including gleaning and sharing surplus food) points to a deep respect for both land and resources.
And at the core of their work is a strong sense of “fair.” The restaurant uplifts farmers by paying fair prices, supports their team through living wages, mentorship, and meaningful workplace benefits, and opens doors through second-chance hiring. Their commitment to people extends beyond their kitchen through classes, collaboration, and community partnerships that strengthen the entire regional food network.
Courtney received both the Best New Business Award and the Rising Star Award from the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce, recognizing her strong support of local farms and meaningful community impact.
Whether you’re gathering for a seasonal meal, taking part in a cooking class, or simply stopping in, they will offer something special: Food that brings people together and reflects a better way forward.
Congratulations to Courtney and the team at The Skagit Table on this well-deserved recognition!
