We LOVED The Country Mill! It was our first time there, so we didn’t know what to expect, but the staff was SO HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY! They showed us exactly what to do and helped us so much! We had so much fun! The selection was great and we can’t wait to go try the things we bought! We really appreciated the help and kindness Riley and Deniese showed us!
