The Woodlands

Phillips Mushrooms has opened a new retail shop at 1020 Kaolin Rd., south of the Five Points intersection. Fresh, dried, jarred and prepared products are for sale in the beautifully restored homestead, which features a splendid mural depicting the history of the farm by Unionville artist Lou Marshall.
I stopped in on a rainy Saturday and one of the owners, Linda Steller (her father is Marshall Phillips), gave me a tour of the shop and the brand-new kitchen, where they plan to offer mushroom cooking classes.
The shop, called "The Woodlands," will have an open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 7. Their regular hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
(Thank you to my dear friend Judy F. for this tip! She said she had driven by, seen the Woodlands sign and wondered what it was.)
