This place has the authentic feel of a country mercantile or a general store. Always a friendly welcoming vibe and clearly a neighborhood anchor and community gathering place. They celebrate the traditions of making and growing things with your hands, of recycling and repurposing... Living a sustainable lifestyle in all the right ways. The co/op is filled with one of a kind items of good quality and reasonable prices, thoughtfully presented. Quality wins out over quantity here, with vintage and modern items displayed side by side. They showcase the work of some wonderful jewelry artists and have both mens' and womens vintage clothing. You can find affordable craft tools, buttons and supplies, vintage linens and unusual antique curiosities. There are opportunities to see artists at work and of course to participate in the ongoing care of the farm outside that extends right out to the curb.
Every piece of clothing or jewelry I have bought here has generated many comments of "where did you get that?" from complete strangers. I am happy to direct customers over to the GROWop as I know they will enjoy it and return again and again! This is a fine place to shop local for yourself or for unusual gifts and it is great to know that your purchases help support the farm and cooperative.
