Brought my girlfriend Chantua and we loved it.
My favorite farm store. They have many things, not just food. Great people!
Selection was just okay. Not everything was local - a lot of the cheese was from the company Sierra Nevada, made in California (I happen to know that because I met one of their makers a few years ago). Some of the bread they had out was moldy as well. We were just in the area for vacation and had wanted to get a bunch of local farm stuff but we didn't leave with much. The cookies they had by the register were delicious though. Edit in response to their reply: I was raised on a farm, worked professionally as a farm hand in multiple states, and I used to be a cheesemaker. I am also, not an idiot. I know full well what fresh herbs look like, and I know what mold looks like. It was mold, that is just a fact. Additionally, I didn't say you had zero local products - I said we didn't leave with much, and we noticed not everything was local, including the cheese from California, cheesecakes from NYC, and others. Again, that is just a fact. I will not be upping my review. I have visited hundreds of farm stores over the years, I have worked farm stores and farmer's markets, I have done the buying for farm stores, and I know what a great local farm store is and what an okay farm store is. This one was just okay.
