Education and animals

Learn all about Alpacas and Llamas. Keith and Elizabeth raise these beautiful animals, and would love to give you a tour of their grounds. You will see dozens of alpacas and llamas, and have hands on experiences with them. I would not recommend to children under the age of 7.

A unique spin on vodka, Vodkow is a vodka made from dairy products. This little start up is hitting the market by storm, and is across the road from HFT :-)

Traditional Fish and Chips, fresh daily, made by a Brit. Need I say more. Open Wednesday - Sunday noon - 7 PM. but if they run out, they may close early. If you buy your meal there, you get $1/off a pint at the Crooked Mile Brewery.
