Fun Destination for tourists and locals, alike!
I've been coming here for the last 10 years to buy crystals, jewelry, and Sage Smudge Sticks, so today I went looking to buy some polished stones to charge the water in my Britta Pitcher. Wow! The people working there were all so helpful, knowledgeable about what I was looking for, and they've expanded and organized their product line to make browsing a joy, without being overwhelming. After I shopped, I went outside to commune with the friendly chickens roaming around, the goats, and the Peacocks and other colorful birds who live in the Aviary. They have also now partnered with Guidon Brewery, and provided seating inside and out for people who want to enjoy a beer while the family wanders around, and I hear they plan to eventually have bands come to entertain. What was once just a fun place to shop for cool stuff has truly become a "Destination," for both tourists and locals alike!

treasure hunting
I am not into rocks, but this was a fun activity. You can walk around the property and see the animals. The store was filed with all kind of gemstones/trinkets you can purchase. Once you purchase a bucket you can spend time sluicing. It was fund to was away the sand and discover what surprise awaits. The young man behind the counter was friendly and able to handle all the customers on his own. The bigger the bucket you purchase the more stones you will discover.
