Nearby houses sell in the million dollar US range. They also sell a wide range of gourmet food (Kobe beef included) and some of the best baked goods around. I can remember (good grief, there's another one of those phrases that betray my age) when it was just a farm stand selling only what it grew itself. I suspect the "Inc." is essential to their new high-flying status. Regards, Dick Boston MA >Very colorful indeed, Richard.
