I rarely give out 5 stars, but this place nails it. Not only is the food incredible, but you become immersed in a friendly, healthy, and energetic atmosphere. A visit to this place feels a little like paradise. It's well worth the trip! read more
The MIlkweed Merantile specializes in sustainability.
History
Established in 2009.
Begun as an online store in 1997, the Milkweed Mercantile two-story strawbale Inn, Cafe and Green General Store opened in April of 2010. Winner of an Eileen Fisher Socially Responsible Business Grant, owner Alline Anderson continues to work hard to make the Mercantile as sustainable and accessible as possible. From the great local food served in the cafe to the home-style friendliness with which guests are treated, the mercantile demonstrates that a sustainable life is not about deprivation, but can be about beauty, joy and happiness.
