Love the selection of organic fruit and definitely liked the potatoes. Cool house plants for sale and outdoor selection of plants hard to match. A diamond in the rough for sure.

My husband was texting me pictures about this place excited at all the options, I was excited myself to visit with him. 2 minutes later Im told that a belligerent man working not only had a poor attitude upon first greeting, but acted like he was about to run a marathon getting out of his chair twice just because my husband asked him about picking a couple green tomatoes FRESH. Not only that, we wanted to buy plants as well, so it wasnt just getting tomatoes. Instead of being humble, the man working proceeded to tell him they usually dont pick anything fresh for customers, and that

This sadly was the rudest customer experience I've ever had. Plants are lovely but they need to recognize how to treat human beings. Do not yell or berate your customers just for asking a question in a polite tone.
