Her specialty jams, preserves, sauces, vinegars, etc. are all incredibly delicious - each made by Lisa herself with the keenest sense of flavor! This is a must-stop along Highway 1!

Visited first thing once we moved here and over the past nine years Lisa has become a friend. I remember buying her cookbook, spiral bound. Also cool is that neighbors gift each other her items all the time! Do not overlook her yummy soups as you're looking at the rainbow of tempting preserves! Stop in! If you're heading north and entering Point Arena she's one of the first businesses on the left! Bonus: you can also hit the seasonal Nature's Tune Farm stand full of yummy produce at the same time. Support local!

This is home to a bunch of beautiful, locally made/sourced trinkets for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Everything is reasonably priced as well.

It's a very small town with minimal stores, but you tend to be able to find most things you need. Whatever can't be found at the 2 grocery stores can probably be found here. It's a small family shop with pretty much anything you'd need for some outdoor activities. Of course Gualala prices are more expensive than most other cities, but it makes sense since it's a small coastal town. It's better to pack whatever you want to do, but this spot is always a good backup for the things you might have forgotten. They also have a lot of souvenirs which I'm sure make up a lot of the business. They've always had anything from hoodies or shirts, all the way to shot glasses and keychains. If you want a souvenir, or anything sport related, this is the spot you'd go. Service that I've experienced has been friendly and welcoming.

I can't say it's practical or some place I would frequent if living there, but for those passing through or the more touristy visitors, it's a welcome stop over with a fun selection of unique items. I would describe the inventory as a mix between upscale household items with a practical use and more decorative goods, like pillows and hats and bags. There was everything from drawer and shelf organizers to crafts from local artists to some hats that folded up that my wife was very tempted to buy. None of it is cheap, mind you, but considering the location and the effort they've put into curating such an inventory, the prices are totally understandable. The two ladies who worked there were both nice and even opened up for us when they were technically closed but saw us peering through the window. I'll be sure to recommend this to other folks when visiting!

I came looking for large dry goods, storage containers for pasta/legumes, but ended up doing a grocery shop while here. You can find pretty much anything you may need. As with the Gualala Supermarket and Surf Market, prices tend to be higher because of the remote location. Definitely recommend if you are looking for frozen items - as their selection is broader/cheaper than what you see in Gualala! Open daily from 8am-7pm, great place to get staples or odds and ends for the home.
