Famously known as "The Little Country Store On Your Way to the North Shore" Steve and Chrissy Paty started this as a roadside operation in 1987 and now, three decades later it's a great place to try different local snacks and learn how to crack open some macadamia nuts as the chickens stand by watching hungrily hoping you drop a nut or two.
