Gone are the days of Happy Meals, Slush-Puppies and Wonka's Nerds for the weekend fill. Now it’s all about just-picked organics and avoiding cancer and trips to the dentist. All produce at Jan’s is made, caught, dug, plucked, picked bottled or baked by the person serving you.
It’s not all brussel sprouts and mung beans though – you can also get your chocolate, cheese and booze fix with the gourmet selection of local wines, and dairy products. There's coffee, seafood, breads, flowers and bush tucker. Not to mention the variety of purple carrots and blue bananas, seriously (!)… are vegetables the new Nerds? Kapow!
