You can get that too-simple fare, such as a bowl of soup, a sandwich, or a quiche. While you're lunching, your eye will be drawn to the gift shop. It feels not so much like a gift shop as an old-fashioned mercantile. Rose has a self-admitted penchant for antiques, influenced by her own rural Midwest upbringing, complete with animals, an old-fashioned cook stove, and mismatched furniture (she credits her mother for inspiration).

You'll find old-fashioned candy on a vintage Burlington-Northern luggage wagon topped with apple box shelves. Antique kitchen queens and sideboards display goods, ranging from locally produced jam and honey to sauerkraut, pickled eggs, gift cards, ceramics, and much more. (The more you look, the more you see.) Check out Rose's main counter, an old-fashioned seed bin complete with seed drawers.
