Brick facade on a preserved main street in flat overcast, straight on, no cars parked in front. Signage without a business name, or none.

In season. Open year-round. Pair with a 126 farm stand run in lemon season.

The description runs up to three short paragraphs, written by the operator: what the place is, what it is good for, what to know before you go. The guide edits for length and does not publish reviews.
