Home of the World's Largest Pistachio | McGinn's PistachioLand

I accidentally stumbled upon Pistachioland and the Worlds Largest Pistachio while driving in the area. It is absolutely worth the stop especially if you're a pistachio fan. They even have special made Pistachio ice cream right on site.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nikki | Weekend Postcards
Available for hire
Hi travelers! I am here to help you enjoy your weekend trips to the fullest to cities near, far, or even in your backyard.
Currently:đź“ŤFlorida, U.S.A.
Just Posted: Charleston, WV | Pittsburgh, PA | Ultimate guide to Kalamazoo, MI
Upcoming Trips: Savannah, GA | European Summer in Zablajk, Montenegro
----------
Michigander at heart but currently traveling the world one week at a time for work. When not on the road and living out of my suitcase, I am down to spend the day exploring the local city scene or out hiking in nature. I am an adventurous spirit and try to maximize my free time exploring the hidden corners of whatever city I am in. I've been traveling all over the U.S. and Europe for nine years and crave authentic experiences at local hot spots (and sometimes the touristy faves). As a young and avid traveler (16 Countries, 45 U.S. States, 25 U.S. National Parks & numerous cities) my goal is to help you reach your travel goals - no matter the destination.
On Thatch, I create super detailed guides and itineraries to destinations that I've personally visited. These destinations have a little bit of everything that I love about travel (adventure, city life, great eats, beach days and more). I can also create custom guides and itineraries to wherever you may be dreaming of traveling to.
Top bucket list items: Ride in a hot air balloon, visit all 50 U.S. states, and someday be on the Amazing Race with my sister.
