This is an hour drive, but I LOVE it here. They have a restaurant that serves whatever they have grown themselves so there is NO menu. You serve yourself water or fresh iced tea. Leave a donation in the box for your meal. They have frequent festivals in the growing season. Closed on Saturdays (learned that the hard way)!!!

It will take you some TIME to get thru this store. Be sure to find "Uncle Buck's Auditorium" and also go up to the restaurant even if you don't plan to eat and ask to see the saltwater aquarium...you can order ice cream shakes at the bar for the kids and watch the fish.
