Farm to Family, Mechanicsville Turnpike


A farm shop in a bus that then became a chicken coop - what's not to love about Farm-to-Family's more traditional roofed store out in Mechanicsville. We stopped in and picked up giant tomatoes, collected warm eggs and decided we loved loved ducks. There was some discussion about last year's Kinoulton chickens and Bitey's renown has certainly crossed the ocean.

Sometimes the most amazing bits of life here are the ones that most echo my childhood - farm shops that sold dried fruit bars and smelt of warm hay - bliss!
