I'm glad is wasn't any worst than it was. We go there for her heirloom tomatoes and peppers. We have been going there for a few years so we have some favorites that we get. In addition, each year she has some new varieties for us to try. when I told her that I had a very small vegetable garden she said (as only she could), "Do you still have grass?" Check out her website. If she has anything at all that you are interested in, it's worth a trip out to see her. She's about 5 mi. West of Route 59 on the North side of Route 52.

Once you get there, they explain everything to you including how the fields are organized, where to cut the stems, and which lavender is good for fragrance vs culinary.

She even had some farm fresh eggs that were super yummy! Would highly recommend! It was a fun and unique experience.

I had a tree on my property that was cut while this company was doing work in my next-door…read moreneighbor's yard. The tree was cut during that process, and there did not appear to be active oversight of the crew at that moment. My neighbors did not request that my tree was cut, as they were not even aware it was being cut. Roman did not come to us to speak with us or ask permission before the tree on our property was cut. After noticing the issue, I spoke directly with the foreman, Roman. During that conversation, I was given several different explanations for why the cutting was not a concern. What was most upsetting to me was not only that my tree was cut while work was being done on another property, but the way my concerns were handled afterward. The situation was repeatedly minimized and I was told things like it "would grow back" and that I "had more privacy elsewhere in the yard." His responses felt unprofessional, and it felt like my concerns were not taken seriously. Instead of feeling heard, I felt as though I shouldn't be as upset as I was. After I walked away, I was also told by my husband that Roman referenced a past situation involving a property line dispute and court involvement. I can't speak to that situation, but it added to my confusion about why it was brought up in relation to my concerns.

I got cheated. I purchased and installed a replacement battery from this shop for my Toro walk…read morebehind mower. They charged about $80 for the battery. It lasted only one year. I called and asked about the warranty on this battery and I was told by Alex (service department) they only offer a "90 day warranty on the batteries". Alex also said "many customers buy a new battery every year". I was shocked. The original battery on this mower (I bought new from this shop) lasted about 10 years. So I ask: if the original battery lasted 10 years and I buy a replacement that only lasts one year, was this new battery an "OEM replacement" or a knock off?? Keep reading: I decided to look on Amazon for a replacement. They have the identical battery for $20 delivered and it has a 1 year warranty! So, It seems this business is selling knock off parts as OEM (original equipment manufacturer) replacement parts and charging 4 times more for that part. Shame on Shorewood Home & Auto. Now I know why their Yelp rating is so low!! I can deal with rude and disrespectful employees at this business -- I'm use to it -- but I will not pay for an OEM part and get a cheap knock off for my money. I've literally spent thousands with this company through the past several years and to be sold garbage and to be charged excessive for this garbage is inexcusable.
