Simply a nice place to visit…read more I had not been out on the campus of St. Mary's for 25+ years. I specifically visited last week to pop into the White Violet Center and their Farm Store. Although there were not many fruits nor vegetables for purchase (I imagine it can often simply be about timing), I enjoyed going into the Farm Store in addition wandering the grounds to see where the greenhouses and gardens are located that would grow the fruits and veggies I could not purchase. The store has local honey and natural products from cheese and meet to pickles and granola. Not a wide variety, but the store is charming and I glad I stopped in. The White Violet Center grounds as not only the Farm Store, but the orchard, greenhouses, bee boxes and of course the alpacas. Females and males are kept in separate pastures, but they are so cute you have to go see them. They are bizarre, peculiar and beautiful. Who knew?...alpacas in Indiana. Now I would not wonder out there weekly to get fresh veggies because I am not close by, but the property of St. Mary's and thus White Violet are beautiful grounds and are worthy of a visit. If ever in the area, it would be worth it to stop in.

White Violet Center is my favorite place for local produce and products in Terre Haute! All of…read moretheir produce is picked from their farm and they always have unique items that are hard to find anywhere else. Their intern's mittens, scarves, headbands, etc from the fur of their alpaca. A great environment and always something different each week you have to try!

The people that work in the office are very nice people, but it's a very unprofessional workplace…read more I can't say anything about their charity, as I was employed as a bell ringer, so this doesn't imply anything about how that is run. I was hired and told that good bell ringers that got more donations were given the most hours. I was fine with that, ready to do my best. My first week went well, so the second week I was scheduled for second days. I was sick, presumably from standing in the cold weather the previous week bell ringing (for minimum wage I should add). I took 3 days off and let them know the reason. After that I was never scheduled again. Instead of phone calls they had resorted to just texting me and had contacted me twice. Once was for a two hour shift that they texted me the same day of. The next one was a longer shift but once again I was contacted the day of. I'm sure that's fine for some people, but not everyone can drop what they are doing and just leave for them. I never got an explanation or a message about as to why I was apparently fired or let go. So now a seasonal job that I really needed for Christmas and for a rising gas bill is out of the picture. Very frustrating company to work for and such a disappointment.

Blessed to have this Organization in our area. Great bunch of people working to help others!read more

We rented the place for my granddaughters wedding. Plan on spending time explaining how to get…read morethere as it's really remote. No air conditioning and we were very hot. The interior is chopped up so it's impossible to include all your guests in whatever is going on. And plan on NOT receiving your $100 security deposit back. When we called to inquire we were told they to expect a statement in the mail explaining why we didn't receive it back - never came. I would recommend this place as a last resort - not a first choice Brad Dickerson, Jasonville, IN
