From handmade birdhouses to gourmet foods to throwback candy to inspirational books, this place has something for everyone! Be sure to check out their Facebook page and be informed of upcoming sales and events! They have a special Wednesday night girls night that includes a discount on all purchases. My anti-shopping husband and I went on a Sunday afternoon and I had to drag HIM out of the store! He found so many things that he wanted that he had to start a pile at the register so he didn't have to carry everything while he continued to shop! Our treasures included a pizza oven cook book, a shepherd's hook, a birdhouse, some peach bbq sauce, a handmade pen, a large picture/wall hanging, and a few caramels. We love it all and can't wait to go back! Pro tip....be sure to use the restroom so you can read about the history of this beautiful space. Sounds weird, I know, but what a lovely story abut a well-loved place! This is the PERFECT place to go if you are wanting to buy a unique and thoughtful gift for someone but have no idea what to get. Your gift will be the best one your receiver had gotten! The prices are fair. Not too high but not a discount store either. It is still a boutique. Oh...and the salespeople are just awesome! So sweet and make you feel like you are their closest friends. They wrap your goodies under with care and even offered to help carry things to our car. The whole experience was a 10/10!!!

I'm not all that knowledgeable on it but I'm sure they'd tell you about the "farm" it sits on. It's in a great location off of Bunker, near Round Lake. Parking is behind the building. Now you may think you are parking in a memory care apartment complex because you are. That's a part of this original Farmstead property. They take pride in MN. You'll find anything made by a local MN artisan here. There's a section devoted to just the MN State Fair. It may be stuffed to the brim with things, but it is organized well. Bath, body, kitchen, cabin, baby, faith, sports, fashion, treats. I usually want it all. And it's a great place to find a birthday or thank you gift. They offer gift cards and have offered basic gift-wrapping in the past (ribbon tied on the bag). They also host artisan markets to showcase some vendors. They gave me a postcard for an upcoming event, which includes food trucks. Sis and I stopped in on our way to the Downtown Anoka shops. But I found everything for my bday peeps here. No need to fight for off-street parking or the sidewalk sales crowd. Thank goodness!

Inside and across the front porch they have plenty of gift items including seasonal decor, some clothing, bird feeding and pet supplies, kitchen items, food, candy and much more. In the bird feeding collection they have many types of feeders, supplies and seeds. We have never had such spoiled birds especially with the Wayne's seed mix - they get into that like nothing else we have ever tried! Stop in and meet the friendly staff, I think it might become a regular drive and stop for you too.

Put the birdseed out right away and the birds LOVE it! Bought two different types of mixes - both are high quality with seeds that the birds want to eat. The dogs also are enjoying their dog bones. The minute I take the bag out and open it up, all four dogs are sitting around me waiting for their treat! We will be back again for more bird seed and dog bones!

Such an adorable boutique with a very kind and welcoming owner named Shaela. She was very personable and so friendly. She chatted with us and didn't make you feel like "just another customer." The amount of goodies here are fantastic. They offer a great amount of hats, jewelry, self care items, cards, kids, etc. Also, the homemade lotions are so great. I will definitely be back to visit this gem.

Come here to get your house inspired or to simply browse. Bonus: Don't forget to check out the discount shed outside. My family and I visit here frequently and it has become a time to bond together as we check out the ever changing space (this time the check out table moved to a completely different location and there was a bigger gardening section added). Each aisle of the store offers its own flair so you can be here for a good hour just to ensure you don't miss anything. Stop back when you can because seasonally, items change. I would say this store is a mix between Patina, Home Goods and a thrift shop. While a majority of the items are brand new, there is a very small section with gently used items such as rustic hand tools, records, teacups, and home decor. Enjoy! This place is a gem!
