As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted and asked if I needed any assistance. They were attentive, giving suggestions and answering questions. The place is well organized, fun selection of gifts and unusual trinkets. Smells amazing in the store and you can find gifts for any occasion. Prices are very decent there! They have neat plants there..cool succulents, cactus and air plants. One of the fun gifts that you can get from there are Moss Amigos. Fun plant pet that is perfect for anyone without any fuss. They will be moving to their new location and I can't wait to check it out...wonderful and pleasant customer service keeps the business thriving!

We were greeted immediately by an absolutely bright and charming man who welcomed us to the store…read moreand told us about some holiday specials they had going on. It was small business Saturday so the shop was very busy and tough to navigate. The smell in the store is heavenly and they have a wonderful selection of the Thymes fragrances and collections. The merchandise includes gifts, decor, body fragrances/soaps/lotions, food items, and more. The Copper Pony not only fills a void in the marketplace but it brings an elegance to the downtown St. Cloud area. I wish them lots of success!!

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!

They also have lots of seasonal items like July 4th items, etc. Will definitely be back to check out more cute decor in the next couple of months.

There is a LOT to see here aside from food and this is a great gift shopping spot. I will absolutely come back here when I am in the area next time!

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!

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 am obsessed with the local goat milk soap from sunny Brook farms in Wi, I come in often to restock the oatmeal and lavender were my faves and now the scent is combined in their new soap! Love it. I also love all of the little sweet treats they carry here and the dog treats as well, my dog loves the freeze dried liver treats! Such a great addition to downtown Hudson I hope they remain successful and stay for a long time so be sure to support and check them out.

They're one of the stores that carry this variety as it is a new species pansy that launched last year.

I'm sure if you go during the regular open seasons, they will be full of different variety of plants. Very clean store and well organize. The staffs are friendly and very helpful. Their prices are pretty decent, especially when it comes to those Japanese pansy that other place charged double. I would definitely recommend this place beside that 1 Hour drive up to Isanti.
