They have a couple of higher end pet foods, sheep products, some craft sodas, and really just a number of other odds and ends. Service is great, and you can tell they have a stream of regulars. I probably won't stop in every day, but I do hope to make it in every two weeks or so. This is easily the best food I've found within a stone's throw of UConn.

It's located at 1839 Lower Rd (Rte 32). Fun fact: Old Furnace was significant at the time of the American Revolution, as a location that manufactured cannon balls. The OFGS was reopened less than 6 months ago, has a license to sell beer and hard liquor with an impressive assortment of such for a small footprint, an assortment of delicious pastries ( I tried the carrot cake whoopee pie and a brownie, both outstanding), has excellent coffee and an assortment of sandwiches delivered daily around 10:30 AM. I met the new owners, Amber and Jeremy, truly nice people who are thrilled to bring the store back to life, and passionate about their venture. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well stocked the store was with food and sundries. It is no secret that I love seeing local businesses succeed. The coffee and pastries were an excellent value. I did not see prices on the beer and wine. The is plenty of parking and a couple of picnic table under an awning to eat at outside. Please take the time to stop by and sample what Old Furnace has to offer. You will be surprised and delighted by what you find. They will begin selling ice cream and sundaes soon.

This is completely ideal for this area for people who want to take lunch out on the trail, to the reservoir, or just want to pick up some fresh veggies or unique shopping items. I was not disappointed to find a well-fitting handmade mask with music notes on it. I also like how the store is organized, so it does not feel cluttered despite having lots of neat things to look at.
