One of the first stops that caught my husband's eye was the Candy Wizard. We found a couple of things to bring home. Two hanging plaques(to celebrate the year we were born and the year we got married, as we celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this year). We also found a couple of booklets for those same years. Next time, we may stop in and pick up pieces for the next set of years that mean something special to us. If you have a sweet tooth, you will be in heaven with this shop. There is plenty to choose from here. From candy sticks, the current favorites out there today. The staff was very sweet and attentive during our visit as well.

It reminds me of an old school penny candy shop. We were able to pick up some great treats for dessert, including some fresh turtles in the case and even some pup-treats for the dog at home! What I found amazing was that they had Avery's soda in their drink case - which I have never seen outside of Connecticut! I definitely didn't expect to see it in Missouri! Please give this little shop a try if you're looking for something sweet - it has something for everyone!

They were having a local party in the downstairs eatery area so we unfortunately didnt get to go check it out but that just means we have more reason to return! They had a turkey and pimento cheese sandwich on their menu that I want to try! Owner was a true gem. Enjoyed chatting things up and getting to know more history about the area. She was well versed in her stock of beverages. A stop you must see. They have non alcoholic items as well. Non-drinkers do not be afraid to stop in. They will make you feel welcome and not pressured or out of place.

We get to enjoy the most picturesque country drive on our way and know we found the place when we pull up to the most darling little red farm store ive ever seen. As i am getting my daughter out of the car we are greeting by a whinnying horse and mooing little cows. We stopped inside the store first to check with the owners and figure out what we needed to do. They said they were currently doing hay rides on a wagon being pulled by two Clydesdale horses! And that tickets were purchased at the register and then given to the wagon driver. $5 per person for wagon ride around the field. Its a very smooth and steady ride. We saw animals in the grass too and lots of wildflowers. We bought treats to give the animals in the free petting zoo. (Always support local farmers! the money goes right back into the farm) and we got fresh baked pumpkin bread, toys and candies! They have soaps, seasonal decor, spices, and all sorts of things made right there including having a good selection of taffy. They have llamas, goats, horses, cows, dogs, cats, chickens, turkey, geese and more on the farm. Nice and hospitable people. Always remember to be respectful when visiting a family farm. this is their home that they open for you to enjoy. Ask questions. Learn about farming.

Each time we stop in, I feel like it gets better. I'll admit that the few times before, I wasn't super impressed with the wine, but this time...YES! So much improvement! I had a flight of the drier options and liked every one! We got several pizzas for all of us and they each were delicious. The hot honey one especially. Speaking of hot honey, I stock up on the Angle Acres Habanero Honey because it puts every other hot honey that I've ever tried to shame. SO good. Things are a little more pricier than I'd expect, but there are not a lot of other options out that way as well. Looking forward to the next time already!
