It's not a full service grocery but is exceptional for local produce (and plants etc...). Wonderful people, great local produce - or early season stuff they drive to get. And some quirky gifts and things. It's all seasonal but the veggies are always great quality and a good variety. Very reasonable prices. If you want to shop local this is the place. They also have an episodic email newsletter you get sign up for - good way to get a heads up if you are into seasonal items.

Sure it is more annoying to make an appointment then just show up at a superstore but this nursery it's peaceful and educational and you don't have to compete with other customers. On top of that the price is totally reasonable for what you're getting. The owner, who is the ones who meets you and shows you the best options for your needs, is quirky and verbose but that makes the experience even better. I'm so glad I came here to find the perfect tree for my mom's new place. Thanks Henry! I hope to come back soon.

Color Orchids was our second stop on this year's "Culpeper Harvest Days Farm Tour" Saturday. Who…read moreknew that there was a wholesale greenhouse orchid operation right here in Culpeper County? Not us. This was their first year on the tour. From the outside it just looks like your everyday large industrial building, but taking the tour (which ran every hour or so) & passing through the doors into the greenhouses - wow! Two acres of Phalaenopsis orchids in all stages of growth & bloom! The woman giving the tour was very knowledgeable & definitely seemed to enjoy her job/work. In just 7 years, Color Orchids is now one of the largest orchid growers in the United States. Their plants are sold in supermarkets, big-box stores, florists, & even on Amazon. The young plants are initially grown in Taiwan where the growing conditions are perfect for that stage of growth in quantity, then the young plants are shipped to Culpeper where they are grown on until bloom size. While we were there we got to see workers grading (& sometimes tossing) plants for quality along a large conveyor belt, & also got to see the workings of the climate-control system & a few of their patented Phalaenopsis varieties. The tour/talk was very interesting, & they also had a small display of miniature orchids for sale, as well as a raffle going on to win a large planter with around half a dozen Phalaenopsis. (Although I bought six tickets (6/$5), I haven't heard yet so someone else must've walked off with that prize - boo hoo!) Very unfortunately they do not sell to the public from the greenhouse - they are wholesale only except for during the tour. Bottom Line: This was a very interesting & new spot on the farm tour, & if they participate again in future years, we'll visit again.

They also helped me out with some impromptu snow plowing during our last big blizzard. Friendly "go out of their way" service & quality products.

I called County Farm Service (CFS) to spray our trees for tent caterpillars. CFS sent a…read morerepresentative, Kenny, to look at the property and provide an estimate. I decided to also have him do a perimeter spray. Kenny said that our neighbors across the street would also need to spray, since their trees had caterpillars. I talked to my Home Owners Association and to my neighbor and arranged to have the spraying of the two properties on the same day. Kenny said that for some of the trees, he would not be able to use his truck but would have to carry the spray down the hill to the site because of the steepness of the hill. He did not give us a written estimate, but that is not unusual in this rural area. I arranged to take off work to supervise the spraying. The weather report for that morning said that there was a high likelihood of rain, and the skies had dark rainclouds. I called Kenny, who insisted that it was fine to spray. I refused. There was a substantial rainstorm an hour later. If Kenny had sprayed, it would have been wasted effort. We arranged the spraying for the next day. However, Kenny did not knock on the door or let me know that he was at the house, although I had told him via phone that I was there and my car was in the driveway. I watched some of the spraying from the windows and deck, specifically the spraying around the house. He told me he had already sprayed the trees. I asked if he had finished spraying the neighbor's trees. He then told me that the trees actually belonged to a different absentee neighbor who probably was not going to spray. I asked him why he hadn't told me that before he started work, since I probably would have cancelled the order. He repeated said that the trees did not need to be sprayed--that they always "come back." I asked him why--if the trees did not need to be sprayed--he had done the spraying and charged me for the work. Since he said he had done the spraying, I went ahead and paid him the $350 we had agreed upon. However, as he left, I noticed that there were no footprints or tire tracks going down to the trees with the tent caterpillars. I called Kenny and asked him about this. He admitted that he had NOT sprayed these trees--the whole purpose for my calling County Farm Services! He said the ground was too wet to get his truck down to the trees (although in the estimate, he said he was going to carry the pesticide because it was too steep for the truck). I asked him if he was going to come back to finish the job. He said yes. I called County Farm Services and talked with the branch manager, Don, who said he would look into the situation. I followed up with an email outlining the situation. I had not heard back by Monday mid-morning, so I cancelled the check and sent an email to Don saying that I would be happy to pay the full amount as soon as the work was completed. I asked him to schedule a new appointment to have someone come out and complete the spraying. Having another appointment to complete the work means that I or my husband must stay home from work. It is a considerable inconvenience.

I had no idea what I was missing all these years! The decor is absolutely beautiful; the flowers are fragrant, expertly crafted and always fresh. My favorite part about the experience, though, had to be the Polish pottery displayed all about the room. The owner shared the fascinating history about how these beautiful pieces are made. I won't tell you myself, but I highly recommend you ask next time you stop in. I mentioned that it was my birthday while I was buying one of the mugs (pictured below), and the owner quickly began picking out complimentary flowers for me and my grandmother! I am definitely making this my go-to flower shop anytime I come back to Warrenton, and will never buy flowers from a grocery store again! Support local businesses
