From the outside it may not look like much, but walking from the industrial area into this little oasis is pretty amazing. They have an artisan bakery and a permaculture garden of heirloom vegetables, fragrant herbs, fresh fruit and flowers along with a small animal farm. On the weekends there is also a small market. You won't be disappointed with the Food and coffee here - Go along for breakfast or lunch, and make sure you say hi to their resident pig, Kevin Bacon.
