I have known Charley for 7 years and her dedication to her customers has only increased as she's spun off on her own. Her clothing lines are trendy, classy and affordable. Her prom and formal lines are incomparable and her shop has new inventory multiple times per week. Her staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming and the shop has a cheerful, happy ambiance. One of my favorite places to shop and is perfect for purchasing gifts or for casual or special occasions alike.

Mixon’s is a nice place to stop with your family. This was our second time here with our 4 kiddos who are older teens. Our first time was 9 years ago when they were much younger, both times while on vacation. We took the hour tour both times. They do two tours a day: 11am and 1pm. They close at 3pm. You hop on a nice comfy open air trolley bus and take a tour of the orchard then head to the back of the orchard for the animal part of the tour. Mixon’s has been kind enough to share their property with a group who find injured or abandoned animals in the area and then rehabilitate and release them back into the wild. The animals on this tour are animals that couldn’t be released back into the wild. The gentlemen giving the tour of the animals is very knowledgeable about all of them, shares why they are there and can not be released back, and allows you to hold an alligator and pet a large python. The tour is $10/person which I think is a bit too pricey. But overall, a great tour if you enjoy learning about orchards and animals. We went just before the citrus season begins so I think it would be even better with fruit on all of the trees. Inside the store is a small deli where you can purchase sandwiches, a gift shop, samples of fresh squeezed grapefruit, orange, and lemon juice, wine, fudge, popcorn, citrus fruit when in season (I purchased 2 palmellos which taste like a sweet grape fruit, so yummy), and even orange flavored soft serve ice cream ($3.50/small cup or cone) which tastes like an orange dream-cycle. Don’t forget to purchase a bag of fish food for $1 and go outside and take a walk thru the gardens and make your way over to the gazebo and feed the fish in the koi pond. There are so so many of them and they all want fish food! It’s pretty cool!
