Attached to the local college, this lunch restaurant and farmer's market is quite prominent, with a…read moresubstantial-looking building that's hard to miss driving by. They sell products of the students' work, and I'm always struck by how underutilized Kentucky farm land seems to be relative to the food people actually eat here. The winter selection was modest, as one might expect, with greens, root vegetables, and mushrooms for sale, and a couple of hot lunch options and baked goods. Their chickpea dish was fine; nothing special but a decent lunch. Adding a cake pop was tasty; despite the semi-sweet chocolate flavor it was still definitely sweet. There was a lunch rush, and I imagine the locals fill the place up often.

I am really impressed with this store. It bears all the harvest from the hard-working students of…read moreBerea College. All the meat sold in the store comes from the locally-grown cows and pigs. As a matter of fact, just about everything that is sold in the store comes from local farms that are worked by students from Berea College. Of course, there were various types of fruits and vegetables, grains sold in bulk, some dairy (cheese and ice cream) and soaps and cleaners. Different types of sandwiches are sold daily (Tuesday -Saturday) and the store was having a plant sale on the day that I visited. I really like the concept of students working and learning a skill as they attend school to get a degree. I cant say enough good things about this store. Its was very clean, the workers were friendly. Some prices were reasonable and some (soaps and cleaners) were maybe a bit high. But higher prices are expexlcted when supply is low. Certainly, I would support this store in the future.

Berea College is a campus I spent a lot of time visiting during the ten years I lived in the…read moreAppalachian Region of Eastern Kentucky. It's a beautiful campus that I love to visit when I return to Kentucky to see my family. The art and music buildings were always my favorite. It's gorgeous in all four seasons. There's food and shops on campus that I will review separately. Berea College caters to the residents of Kentucky when they admit students. It's a very small college and if you are admitted it's a privilege in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of the college and I have friends that have attended. I spent every weekend in Berea with my friends for at least two years. The town offers nothing. If you want activities they are usually on campus. Like many small Kentucky college towns the college is the heart of their social and economic growth. If you want a good dose of Kentucky Culture visit this wonderful campus.

Hands down one of the best colleges in this country. I could bitch about the food (er, although it…read morewas better than my cooking) or the long hours I put in on my labor assignment. But I won't because that's not what it was all about. 4 years of the best education that money CAN'T buy. Safe and comfortable, although not fancy, dormitories. Small classes. Professors that knew me and my interests and my ideas. Lively discussions. A close-knit student body with very varied interests. A Gay-straight alliance and Baptist Student Union that worked together. A work assignment that made me good money and taught me a lot of about bad bosses, good co-workers and responsibility. A fully paid year-long trip to Asia. Sponsorship for an internship in the Caribbean. One of the most unique colleges ever.

Berea College Student Craft Store is my favorite place to shop pottery. Kentucky is known for the…read morebeautiful pottery and I love it! I always visit the store when I'm in Kentucky. I could spend a fortune in here on all the beautiful crafts. The last time I was here I bought a little clay pot. I'm posting a photo. It's a one of a kind. I will cherish it always. If you love arts and crafts you have to visit. I would definitely go out of my way if you are visiting the beautiful Appalachian Region. You will help support the college and its many talented students. I'm recommending.

Small town Americana...life in the 50's. The heart of town is Boone Tavern, surrounded by local and…read morecollege stores. College students run the tavern. If you are old, and dreamed of college, this would be it. Brick dorms and green space. A kinder, gentler time. I've been visiting for 40 plus years. It never changes.

I met Michelle thru the Berea Make It, Take It program. I'd been in the shop before and got the…read morefeeling that I would like to work with her. When I found out that she was doing a class when I would be able to attend, I signed up before I even knew what we would make! I came out with a beautiful ornament and little blown glass vase. The shop is tidy and full of fun trinkets to look at...I *love* the sea themed items! Her jellyfish paperweights are probably my favorite but she does seasonal work as well with pumpkins and holiday ornaments. The class is great for an introduction to glass working in a hot shop. I appreciated Michelle's explanations & confidence in my abilities...she let me be creative and I had even more fun because of that! If you are in the Old Town area, definitely swing by for a look and check in with the Berea Tourism calendar if you are interested in classes.
