What a DELIGHTFUL gem in Garner! Holl & Stone Farms is a cute farmstand and store featuring a bar,…read morecute store, and ice cream truck. The ice cream is New Zealand style soft serve, which is jam packed with fruit. I tried the blueberry basil which was absolutely delicious. They also offer other more traditional style ice cream like cookies and cream. The nice little touch they add is putting biscoff cookie or other cookie with every scoop. The cute store is worth a peruse to look at cook books, plants, and other perfect giftables! And save some time to look at the farm animals. There's a herd of friendly alpacas, a coop of chickens (and a free roaming rooster) and even some goats. The animals are so cute and friendly! I will say the parking lots get kind of full, but there's definitely a good amount of spots. You might just need to be a little patient.

Great local stop to visit…read more The staff are very nice and the animals are all friendly. There is plenty of hay to feed the alpacas, llamas, and goats. The ice cream is made to order and there is a variety of beverages to purchase. There are also locally made popsicles. I wish there were more food options. They have snacks but if you are hungry I would recommend grabbing a bite somewhere before heading here.

While I find most of the…read moreitems--especially plants and pots--to be overpriced, I still come here regularly for soil and fertilizers. The selection is solid, and the staff is generally helpful. One of the highlights is the charming little café, which does a nice job of capturing the vibe of the old Logan's (not sure the location has one, yet.) It adds a cozy touch to the shopping experience. Overall, it's a good alternative for plant lovers and gardening enthusiasts, especially if you're after specific or uncommon items--just be prepared for the higher prices.

Why do you have a sign at the front door requiring masks if you do not enforce it especially when a lot of your customers are seniors?!?
