Shopping

One of the great gems of our area, this is a must-see! An old barn divided into small, quirky spaces, each one filled to the brim with used books. Think of Ron Weasely's house, "the Burrow", in Harry Potter, and you've got it. Rumor has it that E.L. Doctorow called this place a "national treasure".

If you've got kids, (or not), this is a must-visit place. Beyond the u-pick apples and petting zoo, they've got an incredible market and bakery that's fully stocked with organic produce and fresh-baked pies. Oddly enough, they also feature made-to-order Mexican food courtesy of Mama Leticia, their resident chef and baker.
