The Altamont General Store is off to an exciting start and has a vision to become an “eat, shop and gather" spot. The historic building has been beautifully redecorated, and the cafe offers delicious foods from baked goods to pork bowls to “magic” mushrooms. Coffee, beer and fermented shrub drinks are available, too. The store sells well curated housewares and it will soon be hosting pop-up art and floral shops in its expansive space. A ceramic studio occupies the back room and there’s plenty of seating available for gathering (when it’s safe to do so). The Altamont General Store, 3703 Main St, Occidental, 707-874-6053, altamontgeneralstore.com
