Brook Farm General Store is a small shop on the south side of Williamsburg, Brooklyn (New York, US). It is a neighborhood store, modeled on the traditional general stores of New York City, but with a modern interpretation. They opened in the summer of 2009 after having lived in this neighborhood for many years. Their goal was to create a shop with a comfortable,inviting environment, selling well-made items from around the world.They also have our own line, called Tourne, to which they are constantly adding new products.
