We caught a glimpse of this place after we drove into town and after some further research we decided to stop for a visit in front of the world's largest pistachio and do some shopping. I will say their gift shop is larger than you think but the main reason for stopping was their pistachios both the savory and sweet. They were simply amazing and after trying a few samples we walked out with quite a few bags. The staff is very friendly and helpful and it added to making our experience there a worthwhile one. If you are in the area, stop by and support this wonderful local business.
