Food scene

Swan’s Island originally had a sizable general store that burned quite some years ago. Leaving islanders with little ability to purchase food unless they went off on the ferry...until the wonderful people of TIMS opened their doors! You can anything and everything here as well as a great take-out in the warm months and UPS/FedEx pick up!
