A 'Honey' of a Deal at Wagner Farms

Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. It’s your time. Take it.

Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

This week, fit a shopping trip at Warren's Wagner Farms Arboretum into your holiday shopping itinerary. The Arboretum's Holiday Boutique, held in the heated shop at 197 Mountain Ave. in Warren, is filled with original art works, freshly-made honey products (from Wagner Farms' own beehives), baked goods and gift items perfect for adding a bit country charm to any room or house.

Plus, when you shop at the boutique, you're helping contribute to Wagner Farms Arboretum's plans for a greenhouse, to be built as part of the Arboretum's long-term plans to make the site one of Somerset County's best locations celebrating the area's agricultural history.

The boutique is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Bring cash or your checkbook—credit cards aren't accepted.
