In addition to being delicious, the presentation is beautiful. Eating lunch in a traditional farmhouse is perfect for this farm girl. I love the porch, the oak trim, the windows, the fireplace, and the wood flooring plus the simple decorations. What is unique that I have never experienced in any other restaurant. Since it is not a huge restaurant you will always have the same server. She is kind and knowledgeable. There are only three choices on the menu which works for me because I struggle with making a decision.

Super friendly service from the two baristas, and the coffees were served in mugs. We didn't try any food this time, but if we're ever back, I'll be sure to eat something.

We were instantly intrigued and asked Josie about it. She was very helpful and gave us all the information about it. It sounded fun so we decided to rent a couple of their e-bikes the next day to ride the trail. When we returned the next day, Travis got us all set up with the bikes and explained how to use them. After riding lesser-quality e-bikes in several other cities on bike tours, we weren't expecting high quality bikes from here either, but boy were we surprised! These guys had really nice Specialized Como e-bikes for us to use. They were so easy to use and made the ride feel effortless. We had so much fun riding them that we rode the 11-mile loop three times! We also rode into town and stopped somewhere to grab lunch. I can't describe how much fun I had riding their e-bikes on the trail. Going up hills was super easy and didn't feel like work at all. I experienced the joy I felt when I was a kid and used to ride my bike everywhere. Best of all, I could keep up with my husband who is an avid cyclist. He really enjoyed it, too, and even commented that he might want to get an e-bike. I definitely see an e-bike in my future. When we got back to the bike shop Travis patiently answered all of my questions about e-bikes and the different models. He was super friendly and nice. We chatted for a while. I highly recommend this place. Their bikes are great and the service is wonderful.

Away from the claws of gigantic chemical seed companies, Seed Savers sells seeds that have been preserved over the last couple of hundred years. It's honestly impressive! Especially with the "backstory" included on many of the seed varieties, you'll feel a whole new respect for people who fall in love with gardening. The amount of note-taking and attention to detail it requires to save seeds that can be planted 60 years in the future seems downright impossible. It isn't a matter of picking up "some tomato seeds to plant" if you come here; you get to choose from a ridiculous different variants. (Probably over 80). What type of tomatoes do you want? Each one of the seed packets includes planting instructions as well the backstory of where the seeds come from. Each packet is between $3.75 and $5.50 per packet; they accepted credit cards just fine. They also sell gardening-adjacent items (all with a focus on sustainability and organic farming), so organic fertilizer, pots, gloves, books about gardening, and more. When you're done, you're free to walk around the property which includes growing flowers and veggies from their heirloom seeds. They also have watch list and threatened farm animal breeds on the property that you can look at as well. Placards displayed around the property help you understand what you're looking at. ACCESSIBILITY NOTES: -They have indoor bathrooms and running water (and water bottle refill stations!) inside the gift shop. -If you just want to get to the shop itself, it's a very very short walk over a gravel parking lot. -If you want to look around more of the grounds, there's a little bit of paving, but it's mostly uneven grass. It's, essentially, just walking around a working farm with a few placards around it. It isn't necessarily designed to be a "shiny" farm where you'll be removed from the day-to-day of farming.
