the Friday Feeding; VOL. 1
The Feed Loft opens tomorrow! At long last, the upper seating area in the store will be open to take your soup and sandwiches or coffee and pastry to sit and eat…and sit and visit.

This being the second blog post to our brand new website, most of the activity in remodeling the store has beenContinue reading “We’re looking up!”
