Fantastic shelves, glass jars, open barrels…everywhere you look are bright and colorful packages of candy!
Kid #1 rejoiced to see several big jars of rock candy. Grape, Cherry, Blue Raspberry, Sweet Pineapple, Orange–there were plenty to choose among inside this Indiana candy shop.
Kid #2 didn’t know exactly what to do! He browsed around one side of the Randolph County store and then the other. Finally he decided on one single Tootsie roll.
The man behind the counter pointed out a neat flashlight/sucker combo. He loves that little flashlight so much he doesn’t even care about the sucker!

It’s not all candy: there is an assortment of coffee from around the world as well as jams, jellies, and hot sauces. But it’s on the other half of the shop where it gets really fun for grown-ups!
What is a general store? A general store, for those who have yet to visit one, normally contains a variety of items from home decor to garden supplies to food and games. Back in the day it was a one-stop shop.
In Farmland, it covers quite a few bases! There’s a wall of tin signs, a selection of flea market type stuff, a wall of antiques (including some really neat and very old coin banks), games and toys, seeds, and then some.

With candy, coffee, pickles, and jellies on one side and a slew of general store items ranging from antiques to tin signs to seeds and on the other, it’s the kind of store that was made for moseying.
Revisit the kind of shop that was once a small Indiana town fixture. How I wish the general store were a common shop once again!
