We are hoping to support local artists, crafters, farmers, Chefs and even writers with a place to promote themselves, and sell their works. Look for this to become a permanent feature in the future. The gardening season is winding down, but there are still plenty of reasons to drop by the site. We will be selling fresh local cut Christmas Trees from Wintergreen Christmas tree farms again this season. GEORGIE’S CAFÉ is always busy, stop in for her free trade coffees, soups to-die-for, award winning muffins, and other savory delights. We have a gourmet Tea shop with 100 different quality teas. Our newest addition to the building is THE SWEETEST THINGS CANDY SHOP. Rose will have all sorts of Christmas candy in stock and you must explore her nostalgia shelf - your favorite candy as a kid! If she doesn’t stock it, she may bring it in for you! Check it out - it’s great fun.
