Says yea, it's 4$ to cash it. I said that's almost half the FN money order! But couldn't get the money order back. She could have disclosed they charge that price on EVERYTHING! And why do they make it almost impossible to return brand new stuff? Now you get the 3rd degree! Was bringing back car stuff and got attitude for not having my receipt. It's like wtf?!?

If you're looking for affordable, quality bulk foods, this is the place!! The owners are very…read morehelpful and friendly. The store is clean. The products are affordable. As an example, I purchased salted, toasted, pumpkin seeds from a shop in Athens for $12.99 a pound. At the Bulk Food Depot, the same seeds were just $4.88 a pound!! They have local cheeses, grass-fed butter, nuts, seeds, flours, dried fruit, and much more. It's a little out of town (on Radnor Road), but TOTALLY worth the drive!!

Back in the dawn of the millennium, I stumbled upon this haven of provisions while adventuring…read morealong the back roads of Athens. Needless to say, the building caught my eye and I had to venture inside. As any true adventurer would. Within were shelf upon shelf of flour, grain, herbs; you name it. Anything you want to cook with or eventually consume could be found. And the prices were refreshingly reasonable. On this first of many visits, I ended up purchasing a bag of Occident flour, which led to my first foray into accidentally baking some really, REALLY big cookies. And let me tell you--they were grand.

Dairy Barn is one of the greatest collections of local flavor in Athens. It features artwork from…read morelocal painters and sculptors. The barn has many exhibits depending on the time. It's in a beautifully restored old barn. The one bad thing is the changing hours. I like art. If it's a local artist, that excites me even more. This is a good place for finding some beautiful hand crafted pieces. If you're looking for a present, they have a gift shop area. The only thing frustrating about this is figuring out when it's open. It says hours on its entrance, but it's not always correct. The artwork is worth making a trip for. I want to support the local artists, and that can be done by visiting the Dairy Barn. It has s great collection of crafts. There's an area you can buy many.

I had a wonderful experience at this gallery. It is a historic dairy barn that was almost torn down at one point, and now it houses beautiful art & craft exhibitions. Also, I am very impressed with the staff. They are very friendly, professional, and they really know how to treat their guests. They also did a fabulous job displaying all of the beadwork.

There aren't a ton…read moreof places to shop for clothes in town, so I initially really wanted to like Artifacts because the window displays were quirky and cute. However, one inside the store, there is an overbearing, off-putting smell of patchouli. As a college student, I thought the store items were overpriced for the relatively low quality, and the clothing was not size inclusive (too many junior-sized items). The owner's unprofessional behavior is also a reason why I do not enjoy this store. I've known people who worked here, and they described what was a hostile work environment where they were subjected to verbal abuse, and I witnessed this firsthand. On one occasion, I was in line at the counter with an item in my hand, ready to make a purchase (earrings I believe?), but after hearing how rudely she spoke to an employee in front of me, I decided not to buy them. If that's how she acted in front of customers, I can only imagine how she behaves in private. The owner has been in the news for her bigoted, transphobic views, which are on display in the storefront windows. In doing this, she has clearly made a connection between her political views and her store, so this is why I find it fair to comment on them in this review. I was not a fan of this store before, but this is yet another reason not to support this business.
