The Dairy Visitor Center and Gift Shop
Totally charming visitor center and shop with a lovely array of distinctive souvenirs and gifts. In a most beautiful historic building across from the Chess & Checkers House, also recently restored and a delight.
On the day of my visit, though, I was taken aback when the staff member at the cash register sharply called out to me not to pull closed the door behind me, since it had an automatic closing mechanism. (It was an intensely hot and humid day, so I'd made a point of closing it to keep the heat out and save energy.) A moment later the next visitor did just what I'd done upon entering, and again the staffer let out a scolding, saying the fellow would break the door by manually closing it! Very rude! (Why they don't simply put a sign on the door is beyond me; this must happen all day long in the summer months!)

Key Food Supermarkets
Great neighborhood supermarket with an impressive selection of fresh, well-tended produce, basic grocery and household products, and even specialty items like Bob's Red Mill flours and grains. Weekly sales are terrific, with deep discounts on such staples as butter and laundry detergent (the weekly flyer is available in the store as well as online); and the hardworking staff are unfailingly gracious and helpful.
