Yesterday, a customer came into the store and told me she’d picked up some new music and decided to go for a drive. “Just like I did when I was a teenager,” she said. “I’m still doing the same things. And I still love driving out to the Teanaway.” Same. A good playlist. A pretty drive. It’s one of the best cures for the winter blues.

One of the most popular hikes in the Teanaway Community Forest , the Cheese Rock Trail is an easy favorite for locals and visitors alike—and it’s just a short drive past the Teanaway Country Store. This is a year-round hike that offers big rewards for a relatively modest effort. Today’s hike was a great reminder of why it’s so loved: clear trails, fresh air, and no special equipment needed.

Raspberry Scones at the Teanaway Country Store If you stood in line at the Sweet Shop in Gearhart, you probably remember these scones. We sold more than 55,000 of them during our time there — not that we were counting (okay, maybe we were). Hand-stirred, baked in small batches, and almost always sold out.

The Original Recipe as written in 1985! Welcome to the very first post on the Teanaway Country Store blog! We’ve been dreaming of creating a space where we can share all kinds of good things with you—recipes and stories from our kitchen, local hikes we love, seasonal foraging tips (but don’t expect  all  our secret spots!), and little pieces of the community that make this valley so special. So, to kick things off, it only felt right to start with the recipe that has followed
