From the owner: Hi, I’m Zack, and I’m the founder of Zack’s Bees. I started beekeeping as a hobby back in 2019 and…read moreit has since grown into a passion and a small business. I am now 17 years old and have over 60 hives, and I am constantly striving to deliver the best quality products to my customers.

I take pride in the fact that all of my products are locally sourced and of the highest quality. Thank you for supporting a small local business like mine, and I hope you enjoy my honey products as much as I do.

Wow! Really. Wow!! I saw this place in the GR visitor guide at my hotel and thought I might look…read moreit up this week. My colleagues and I just happened to walk by it as a happy accident and went in on 2/4/2024. The woman working there was just delightful. Eager to show us everything and had answers to all of our questions. None of us left empty-handed. They have oils and balsamics to taste test and again, just wow! Such a neat, tidy little shop with one of the best store ambassadors I've ever met. It really made my day. I can't wait to try what I bought.

Tired of the grocery store and discount club olive oil ( which my not even be really olive oil) this is your place . Many regions and also infused flavors ! I'm partial to oils from Spain as well as the garlic infused but the seasonal with sage is amazing as well . Remember these are healthy for you ! It really doesn't cost more to go first class and olive oil is no different , your taste buds will thank you !

We loved this orchard SO much!…read more I couldn't believe the amount of fun, free entertainment packed into this farm. We ended up spending nearly three hours bopping our way between activities and snacking. We enjoyed cider, a variety of donuts (including apple cider and pumpkin with cream cheese icing), a big ole bag of "seconds" apples that were in great condition, paid for the four wheeler/train ride through the peaches and much more. The kids especially loved the goats, slide, tractor ride through the property and corn "Sand box". Bathrooms and snack stands were plentiful and clean throughout the front portion of the farm. The staff was all very engaged and friendly as well. I loved that this spot didn't feel cheesy or over commercialized like some orchards can become. It was truly perfect. Can't recommend it enough.

I've been to Schwallier's a couple times now and have had a lovely experience each time! If you…read moredon't get there right at open (or close to it), parking will be very hectic. While they have someone guiding you most of the time, people visiting are not always the most mindful and don't let you out to give up your spot. There is only one entrance/exit for cars, so I think they need to be a little bit more upfront with the flow of traffic and constantly have someone guiding everyone to ensure that parking isn't backed up. There are pumpkins, tracker rides, a little parade car for kids (and adults can fit too) and a play area for the kids. I think it's the perfect place to grab donuts, cider, pick some apples and grab your pumpkin. Just be warned that some areas may be more hectic than others, but that's what you get with a sunny October weekend!

They have a tremendous variety. I live in a retirement community and buy half-bushel every week to share with others with whom I live. Fun thing for me to do and my neighbors love the apples too. Some have even started going to Wells themselves. I also buy farm raised eggs there. They often resell excellent cider from top farm cideries. Their jams and jellies are great. Friendly people.

I chose a ham salad and it was very tasty and I also bought a turkey sandwich. They have ham too. The turkey was surprisingly filling and they're not cheap when it comes to the meat.

I bought two pieces of turkey jerky and it was very delicious I also purchased some ham bones for my dog which she just loved very country little place it also has some things to go like ham ham slices , different sausages.

I also have gotten the most beautiful wooden cutting boards from a woodworker who is a true artist, and these were priced so reasonably so that I could actually afford a couple of them. The carpenter who made them said he's retired and just likes to create them, they are literal works of art! I've bought flower boxes from a lady whose granddaughter told me has huge flower gardens and does this for the love of it, and you can tell, because everything she makes is amazing. From buying eggs to home made Banana bread, organically grown veggies, you'll never be disappointed coming to Fulton Market... so thankful to have this option in our city.

I've had several juices and smoothies and I've never been disappointed. My favorites have been the Liquid Sunshine juice, Blue Moon over Eastown, and Material Girl. I appreciate that their smoothies have quality ingredients, are nutrient-dense, and SO tasty. I often feel like other smoothies I try are actually just sugary fruit juice and I've never felt that way at Good Judy's. I have loved their seasonal menu items as well and I almost always snag the toast on special when I can or the You Feta Work salad. The staff are always so friendly and I love that there are seats to sit in while you wait or you can eat in. I've been grateful that it's always a chill environment when I'm there and I can hear myself think! Also their merch is SO cute and especially being queer, I want to buy it all! I love being able to support a queer-owned business that supports so many other minority owned companies!

I've been fortunate to try the juices at those events and they are always the highlight! This past week I finally got the opportunity to visit the brick and mortar location and try a smoothie bowl. The location is right on Wealthy right near the Wealthy Theater and has the cutest art and designs from the outside. There's ample street parking which makes it easy to get to. The staff are INCREDIBLY kind and fun. You should defnitely check out their social media, especially the tiktoks/reels. I had one of the acai smoothie bowls and it was soooo good. I really loved the flavors and different textures. It was incredibly refreshing and felt like a great, healthier sweet treat. They have a little store area on the inside with juices to go as well as local and national snack brands. I picked up a black sesame paste that I can't wait to try out. Definitely recommend coming here!
