Best coffee in town - especially if Kale is on the machine. He's also the bass player in Ben's band! This is Chef Brenden McGill's deli, right next door to the restaurant. House-cured meats!!

The perfect blend of trinkets and clothing shop along side the real feed shop, where the farmers get hay for the horses and straw for the hogs. Oh, it's also one of the most amazing plant nurseries!
