Wow, that was a record-breaking opening day!

There was a line that ran outside and down the parking lot most of the day for the bakery. Thank you to all our wonderful customers for being patient with us. And thank you to all our hardworking employees for keeping the lines moving all day.

We are open daily 9-6 until Christmas Eve.

Just a short ten minute drive from .and.ivy , Thomas Berry Farm is an excellent way to spend a cool morning in the mountains! The Farm is unstaffed, pay on the honor system, and has tons of fresh blueberries (with some bonus yummy blackberries) It’s one of our favorite summer stops, and delicious paired with fresh chocolate chip waffles!

We still have end-of-August dates available to book! Come beat the heat! 🫐
