429 McHenry Avenue, Modesto, California 95354.

White painted masonry, a black ceiling, skylights, and a red brick floor. Vines on the outside wall. A muted sage-olive band separating the white wall from the dark above it.

The front window

In the east-facing street window there is a ten-foot by four-foot living-soil bed. A tree-trunk rock sculpture with multiple cascade mouths runs water down through it. Twenty-nine plants and a baby’s-tears carpet cover about thirty square feet — snake plant, dracaena, lemongrass, rosemary, lavender and sage in the sun band at the glass; aloe, ZZ and spider plant through the middle; cast iron plant, Chinese evergreen, bird’s nest fern, Boston fern, pothos and philodendron in the shade behind.

It runs on east window light alone. No grow lights. Pest control is BTI — a bacterium, not a chemical — because the bed sits next to food and we weren’t about to spray anything in a room where we sell raw dairy.

It is the first thing you’ll see and the reason people stop walking.

Finding us

We’re on McHenry Avenue. Street parking out front.

Hours

Opening hours are being finalised ahead of our grand opening on August 1, 2026. Join the list on any page of this site and we’ll send them the moment they’re set, along with what came in that week.

What’s in store that isn’t online

Raw dairy, fresh meat, eggs, and everything refrigerated is in-store only. That’s not a marketing decision — federal law prohibits shipping raw milk across state lines, and cold-chain items belong in a cooler, not a cardboard box on a truck.

Our own products — the apothecary line, TALO, the tallow butters — ship anywhere in the country.
