We met several of the makers and growers of the goods. They served us delicious cheeses, sweets, and local wine/ciders. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The vibe was local and friendly. I can't wait to go back to grocery shop. So many great locally made items like Botany Babe lip balm, beautiful earrings, aprons, jams, and so many other things! Plus there is this cool pottery painting studio next door and rental-able space for small gatherings. Such an Incredible local resource. Go check it out!

The produce section is my ultimate fave...so many fresh fruits and veggies! Apples, pears, lemons, pumpkins, grapes, plus a huge variety of tomatoes and mushrooms (king, oyster, wood ear, shiitake, etc.). And the salad greens? Fresh kale, lettuce, lemongrass, mint, basil, yummy! I also love their bulk section, tons of grains, rice, quinoa... you name it. And their alternative milks, so many options! Honestly, this place feels like a mashup of Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, but with that local, eco-friendly heart. The store is clean and well-maintained, staff are super friendly, and there's always fun little things to discover--local soaps, chocolates, jams, honey, wine, and seasonal displays. Plus, the sushi bar upfront is delicious. They also sell cute plants, candles, totes, which makes the store feel extra fun. Yes, it's a little pricier than other supermarkets, but for freshness, variety, quality, and that special eco-friendly, local vibe, it's totally worth it. This is my go-to store. Highly recommend!

We made a stop through Salyer and ended up finding the cutest little general store called Salyer…read moreStore right in the middle of town. First of all, this place LOOKS exactly how you want a small mountain town general store to look. It's got that cozy, old-school roadside stop energy where you feel like everybody probably knows everybody. The post office is literally right next door, and the entire area just feels quaint, peaceful, and welcoming. My husband ran inside to grab snacks and drinks while I stayed outside taking pictures for Yelp because surprisingly they didn't even have a proper storefront photo posted yet, which honestly shocked me because the building itself is adorable. One thing he immediately noticed was the smell coming from inside the deli area. According to my husband, it smelled AMAZING in there. Like fresh deli meat and sandwich shop good. They were also outside getting the barbecue started when we pulled up, and it smelled incredible. We were actually disappointed we couldn't stay long enough to grab sandwiches because it definitely looked like one of those hidden gem local spots. The store itself looked super clean and organized, and it had exactly the kind of things you'd want when stopping through a smaller town: * snacks * drinks * little local items and trinkets * road trip essentials Now the only heads up I'll give travelers: there is NOT a public restroom available here. So if you're stopping specifically to use the bathroom, this probably won't be your spot. But also don't take that out on the employees because they were perfectly nice and the town itself is tiny. Just plan your next restroom stop ahead of time. As a quick stop during a road trip though? Absolutely worth it. It felt like one of those places that gives small towns their charm, and next time we pass through Salyer, we already know we're stopping again.

Sam and his husband Ricky were incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process. They took the time to understand my space and helped me choose plants that would actually thrive in my garden. They even introduced me to companion planting which ended up making a huge difference in both the health and beauty of my garden. I learned so much from them, from soil basics to which plants grow well together. What really stood out was how thoughtful they were and how genuinely invested they seemed in helping me succeed, not just making a sale. I'm really looking forward to getting my starts from them again at the Arcata Farmers Market this year!!!

Would have benefited from more obvious signage off of Old Arcata Road as it snuck up on me requiring a last second turn (my first time here). Plenty of things to do for kiddos - absolutely adorable petting zoo creatures- $5 to get in with them but if money is tight, the kids can easily see them up close without the fee. Bales of hay are set up in a maze for which there was no charge to play in and around. It was super cool to get to walk around the pumpkin fields filled with various kinds of pumpkins, squash and other gourds. They provide heavy duty wagons to carry your haul. Vendor on premises with freshly made to order burgers and drinks and picnic tables available to eat at. The pumpkins are on the pricey side but also organic and very cool looking, some creepy looking as well.
