Great place to shop for produce and veggies. They also have some of the best pies. (Blueberry sour cream apple pie is my favorite). Grassy area for kids to play on as well as BBQ on the weekends.

Antiques & Thrifting
I call this place the Antiques JunkYard. The owner has one of the coolest and most historical collections of fair priced antiques. The yard is located on the oldest commercial dairy farm (no longer in use). The owners name is Lisa, she is a wealth of historical knowledge.

If you are looking for a nice drive that will take you to diamond springs or Placerville I suggest taking the back roads from Camino through Pleasant Valley. Head down Pony Express until you get to down town Camino. Take a left onto Snows Rd right after Blondies Coffee House and the Vet clinic. That road will take you into Pleasant Valley. From there you can explore the area or enter a location into your GPS. Enjoy
