Review:

For a truly unique shopping experience, The Fantastic Umbrella Factory will fit the bill. They describe themselves as “a 19th-century farmyard shoppers paradise,” though this is so much more than a historic landmark. While the property does seem right out of the 1800s, with beautiful gardens, old buildings, and wandering goats and chickens, this is a quaint store and café. The Fantastic Umbrella Factors includes local and international artwork and includes stores like The Purple Shell, which features Native American jewelry and crafts. When you’re ready for a bite to eat, the Small Axe Café or the General Store are great stops, while other artist’s shops, like the Henna Body Art tent, can be explored through the gardens.
