点评:I cannot say enough good things about this place! I do not think a lot of people know about it. Even the receptionist at our hotel was unaware it existed.
The college is guarded, but if you tell them you are there to just look around and shop they will direct you to where you need to go!
The visitors center has lodging (definitely want to come back and stay there!), a couple little shopping kiosks, and a restaurants.
There’s a little cafe. I tried the a mocha latte (I think it was called a John daily) and some baked goods. The latte was strong for my liking, but otherwise good! The apple butter danish, iced sugar cookie, and cinnamon roll were all delicious!!
We also got some homemade ice cream. $16 for 3 cups of double scooped ice cream and it was more than enough to be filling. I had a scoop of the chocolate ice cream and a scoop of banana pudding ice cream. My mom got coconut almond fudge and candy cane. All of it was delicious!
We also drove through campus to a glass shop where they were inside working. The nice girl who was working on some stained glass took the time to explain the whole process to us.
There was also a store with pottery, candles, woven baskets, and dry food mixes. Other things on site include books, clothes, Christmas ornaments, jellies, potholders, towels, quilts, etc..
I cannot wait to go back and try more things. It’s a great cause to support. from my understanding, all of the college is free for the students as long as they work 15 hours a week. They are all talented and the homemade items are high quality.
There is also a church on site that showcases gorgeous stained glass pieces that they made and a veterans memorial.
The dairy barn was closed for business on Saturday, but you could still get up close and personal with the cows.
Parking for all the sites was close. My mom can’t walk great and it was all close enough for her.
翻译:我对这个地方赞不绝口!我认为没有很多人知道这一点。甚至我们酒店的接待员也不知道它的存在。
学院有守卫,但如果你告诉他们你只是到处看看和购物,他们会带你去你需要去的地方!
游客中心有住宿(绝对想回来住在那里!)、几个小购物亭和一家餐厅。
有一个小咖啡馆。我尝试了摩卡拿铁(我认为它被称为约翰每日)和一些烘焙食品。拿铁咖啡很浓,符合我的口味,但其他方面都很好!丹麦苹果黄油、冰糖饼干和肉桂卷都很美味!
我们还买了一些自制的冰淇淋。 3杯双勺冰淇淋16美元,吃饱了绰绰有余。我吃了一勺巧克力冰淇淋和一勺香蕉布丁冰淇淋。我妈妈买了椰子杏仁软糖和拐杖糖。所有的一切都很美味!
我们还开车穿过校园来到一家玻璃店,他们在那里工作。正在制作彩色玻璃的好女孩花时间向我们解释整个过程。
还有一家商店,出售陶器、蜡烛、编织篮和干粮混合物。现场的其他物品包括书籍、衣服、圣诞装饰品、果冻、隔热垫、毛巾、被子等。
我迫不及待地想回去尝试更多的事情。这是一个值得支持的伟大事业。据我了解,只要学生每周工作15个小时,学院的一切都是免费的。他们都很有才华,自制的东西质量很高。
现场还有一座教堂,展示了他们制作的华丽彩色玻璃碎片和退伍军人纪念碑。
奶牛场周六暂停营业,但您仍然可以近距离接触奶牛。
所有地点的停车场都很近。我妈妈走路不太方便,但对她来说一切都足够近了。
