I'd long been curious about Penzey's Spices, a national chain with one Indiana location that…read morehappens to be in the Castleton area. Tonight, I had a little time before a nearby film screening and decided I would finally drop in. First off, I instantly loved the vibe of this strip center location that's not too far down from Trader Joe's. This location is pretty solidly accessible with nearby accessible parking, appropriate curb-cuts, and a layout that I had almost no difficulty maneuvering. In case it's not obvious, Penzey's Spices specializes in spices. They also offer online ordering (free shipping with $49+). I have to admit I'm no expert when it comes to spices. I'm also not the most adventurous eater due to a fragile system. However, I've been venturing out of my comfort zone lately and I got lots of ideas from my visit to Penzey's. I have no idea how many spices they carry. It's a lot. I found the prices quite reasonable. I found items that I thought "I want to try that" and I mostly found the prices at such a good point that I would be willing to give it a try. Of course, some are more than others. That's life. Employees were friendly. The overall energy of the place was light and hopeful. They also offer gift boxes, trial bags, and accessories. However, when it comes down to it this is really a spice store and boy do they have amazing options. I believe in terms of corporate that Penzey's is based in Wisconsin. I'm just grateful they're here. They add such a spark to the Castleton area, and they seem perfect as a companion to the nearby Trader Joe's. It took me way too long to get here. It won't take me that long to get back.

YES, PLEASE! They are tucked away in one of my favorite buildings that houses Blueline media down the hall (the old Tutto Benne building, just around the corner from Rainbow Bakery). Yarrow is on the first floor, next to the parking recessed parking lot. I found this collective on Instagram and fell in love. The plant photos they share make me want to fill my house from floor to ceiling and include Zebrina Calathea, curly ferns, wreath workshops, and figure drawing classes. My favorite post is when they said that even plant murderers are welcome (ha! I think anyone that has ever had plants has murdered at least one)! So many gorgeous plants and other lovely offerings. For Thanksgiving, I picked up the most gorgeous bouquet as a gift with protea blooms. Curbside pickup felt super safe and easy. They are currently by appointment most days and post shop hours on the website and insta. I made an appointment through insta and it was super easy.

The ladies were very sweet (one of them was singing in the back room some soft sweet song and it was really quite beautiful). Service was fast in the bathroom was clean! I got a smoked turkey with colby and pickles on rye bread (don't judge) and there was plenty of everything on the sandwich. My pumpkin whoopie pie was amazing, as was my peach hand pie (they had several other) and the cheese bread. Definitely a good place to stop and get some good food and snacks. As with most Amish stores, they don't take credit cards, so bring your cash!
