This has been a complaint of mine and others in the community for the 7-8 years I've been coming here, farmers get up early and a farm store should be open for business before 9am!! The selection is already minimal compared to big stores not too far away and I can't tell you how many times I needed something on Sunday or before 9am and had to go to a bigger store because the Farm store is closed! It's also frustrating that the hours when you look up online are different than the actual hours!

After telling them where to put the hay, they put it in the wrong place and refused to come and fix it after telling them I am injured and can't move it myself. They had to nerve to blame me for their mistake and said he needed to get the phone before he said something he shouldn't. RUDEST costumer service ever. I said years ago I wouldn't go back and I did. MY mistake. I will NEVER shop there again.

All the chutes and various chambers are very intriguing, then you get into the wares the store offers. Very much in sync with the atmosphere of the building. It would seem that whatever hobby or craft you are into, they have some of what you need. They definitely have plants, containers and such covered. Next is the cookware, then canning supplies, storage containers, macrame, animal supplies, personal care... the list goes on. The neat part of it all is that it all feels so vintage yet new. A very holistic shopping experience.

It was wonderful to be able to call Big Trees and set a time to see their trees. Daniel took us around and also helped us as we considered several types of trees. We determined that a Somerset Red Maple would be large enough and that it would be relatively easy on yard maintenance. The tour helped us decide that we really needed a tall (30' feet) to enjoy in the next few years. Big Trees was excellent at setting up a date and delivering the tree. It was amazing just to watch the equipment as they dug the hole and planted the tree (see pictures). Now we just need to follow their directions.

It's small, and there's no rhyme or reason to the layout of plants here.  So the roses crawl through the bamboo, and the begonias rest under a red-leafed maple.  They're not going to have everything, so don't expect to find that very geranium you're looking for.  Instead, you get lost in the beautiful plants and are surprised around every corner.  And you keep wandering. It reminds me very much of the beloved Flicks & Picks that we all loved and used to love across the street.
