Groceries
I recommend picking up groceries on the way. While we have local smaller stores for the basics, you’ll want to check out one of these options for more variety.
A must visit! Family owned, locally sourced products. Walk through the greenhouses, lounge in the Adirondack chairs, enjoy lunch at picnic tables by the pond.
