Whirlypop poppers, microwave popcorn in every variety, popcorn bowls, popcorn oils, individual paper containers, popcorn seasonings and SO many varieties of popcorn. My personal favorite is Tiny Tender White because it has NO hulls (you know, those irritating thin shells that get stuck in your teeth? ) Tiny Tender Yellow has almost no hulls but a bit more flavor. As the name implies, these pop up quite small. There's flavor added to the microwave packs or I'll use the butter flavored popcorn oil in a Whirlypop to give them a little flavor. The store, despite being in the middle of nowhere, can be very busy, probably a result of large arrow signs on the highway that say 'Popcorn'. And who doesn't love popcorn?

We went here yesterday and LOVED it. Since I am an avid popcorn eater, the organic popcorn here is…read moredefinitely cheaper than what you would find at Whole Foods. Also, I was impressed with the organic milk. The milk here contains no preservatives, hormones, GMOs, AND the cows that produce the milk are not fed GMO feed. At Meijer, however, their organic milk does not make the same claim about the feed for the cows. I will be getting my milk here from now on. Though I will only drink it sparingly, I will have it on hand for oatmeal and cereal. I am so glad I found out about this place.

Ended up speaking with a very nice lady who turned out to be the owner of this place. There is a wide variety of different popcorn flavors to try. The owner provided me with the number of samples. I ended up purchasing the s'mores flavored popcorn, apple cinnamon flavored popcorn and the salted caramel to take back home. The salted caramel was the flavor I liked the best.

The business is nestled in the center of downtown next door to other small business establishments . What immediately sets it apart is the small flowered arch at the entrance door. That small, but mighty, soft touch served to welcome me in prior to opening the door. Once inside, I was warmly greeted by the owner. She's a petite woman with an amazingly large personality and warmth. She was so genuine and welcoming. I was able to sample several different popcorn flavors, each as unique as the rest. Every option was gluten free, with the exception of S'Mores which was the favorite of my adult sons. I opted for the Razzleberry, Sweet Heat and Dill, yes- Dill. The razzleberry was quickly devoured on my drive home, the rest didn't last the weekend. The shop also offers small candy jellies and bottled soda, a throwback touch that was nice to see. I felt welcomed here, almost as if the flowered arch invited me in at the behest of the owner. Once inside, the flavors and options allowed me to peruse awhile. I'll definitely be back.

We had our first experience with the Farmers Market a few weeks ago. I was so hopeful that this…read morewould become a new regular destination to visit with my kiddos. The outside in my honest opinion does not give a welcoming, farmers market vibe. It reminds me of old sheds or long warehouses that have been converted, albeit that is most likely what it was. However there is not really a specific entrance that I found, just multiple doorways that may or may not be marked as entrance doors. Inside, we found the market to be basically a very large rectangular loop of vendors booths. There is lots and lots of crafts to look at. The produce appeared to be on the higher side so we passed on buying. There was a wonderful lavender vendor with very high grade essential oils at very good prices that we did purchase. There is wonderful English Tea and food items which were splendid. ( might be a reason I return). Additionally there was a Hungarian bakery vendor that had wonderful items to taste, they were very traditional and delicious. We noticed a small cafe or diner but did not stop, it looked dated but had customers enjoying their orders. If I had to give any feedback as a consumer to the owners, it would be to invest in better parking, signage and updating of your building. The vendors that were present ( empty booths were noted) seem to love their businesses and would benefit from the updates!
