WHERE TO SHOP

Karen Bates, co-owner of the Philo Apple Farm, partnered with friend Sandy Mailliard to create the Bates & Mailliard Farmhouse Mercantile in a historic building, with its original shelving, on the Boonville main drag. Inventory ranges from the farm's products-chutneys, jams, syrups and juices-to candles, knives, pots and other housewares.
