House Finch Suburban Nature Store

Goodness. I am not sure how much room there is to write good things- let's see.

Kara, the owner, who I see every time I go in, is an ultimate birdnerd. She is incredibly knowledgeable, excited, and passionate about helping the community through birding. Her calm and happy voice is so soothing; it's helps whether you've got an bird issue she can probably solve, somehow word vomit your birth trauma (I am working on it,) or what to know the differences of bird seed and corresponding feeders. Ive added to my supply because of her. I've changed my outlook on Bluejays because of her. If you knew me before we probably talked about how mean they are. (I am working on this too)

I enjoy and look forward to going into House Finch. Bringing my LO (age 2) is an even better treat. Kara always greets us excitedly. My LO helps pour seed into our containers (because we bring our own not only for save the planet but also their reward program). Kara encourages this and I am so excited that my LO gets to be involved and learn about it, besides if s free, somewhat mess free sensory play.

Kara recently held a 'Mason Bees' lecture in the back part of the store. I am grateful to have the opportunity to help my suburban ecosystem even more. Her presentation was well prepared and engaging. As an attendee, I will receive the digital presentation, 'bee' mails!!! For how to and when to notifications, and even a 15% discount.

I know the feed and products sold are thoughtful, intentional, and even locally curated. I want to spend my money there. I want to 'feed' the store's mission and can't wait to see them grow.

Bird/Nature lovers rejoice! This new shop in Collingswood is an absolute delight. I was very impressed with the selection of unique items they had in the store. From gardening utensils, table runners, to plant pots and coffee mugs; they had it all. What also stood out was the uniqueness of all the items. I never knew I'd be so excited at the selection of bird baths in a store, but let me tell you, House Finch has some bird baths worth getting excited about!

If you can take your eyes off all the cool stuff in the store, you will then notice the bigger draw of the store: sustainable bird seed. They have giant bins of different seed varieties that you can fill your own container up with. This focus on sustainability is one that I personally applaud and am looking forward to feeding my feathered friends without needlessly wasting so much plastic.

If you're looking for a gift for a bird/nature lover, looking to get a bird feeder, bat box, bee house, or owl box to bring some wildlife into your life, or looking to feed those cute critters in your neighborhood, you can't ask for a better store than House Finch. I stumbled onto the store strolling through Collingswood yesterday and I cannot wait to go back!

Beautiful store! This is a fabulous place for unique gifts and beautiful bird feeders and supplies. The owners are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Great feed options - if you are tired of watching the squirrels feast at your feeder, get yourself some shop-made hot pepper feed. The birds love it, the squirrels not so much!

I love this shop. The interior is beautiful and they have a great selection of gifts, seed, and feeders. I come here mostly for the bulk bird seed but they have everything you need to get started with backyard bird feeding. It’s a really fun place to look around. The owners are very helpful and have offered really great suggestions in my bird feeding journey. I especially love that they focus on sustainability and low waste. We need more of that!

I first met Kara, owner of House Finsh, at a lecture she gave to the Haddonfield Garden Club on how to attract more birds to your backyard, specifically in our area of Southern NJ. The talk was so informative and inspiring! I already had a feeder and had done many of the things she mentioned in the lecture, but the missing link in attracting more varieties of birds was the quality of the food itself. I stopped in this week to pick up some seed and boy am I glad I did!! The store itself is gorgeous and peaceful and a visual delight. I didn’t want to leave. I’m an interior decorator and not typically wowed by most retail establishment design, but House Finch was created with so much attention to detail and LOVE! You could just feel the peaceful and joyous vibe. When we have choices as consumers on where to spend our dollars, having options like House Finch is a true gift. I encourage everyone to visit and visit often! I left with great bird seed, several gifts including a book, stickers, a nesting ball, and I will be returning soon for a gorgeous metal bird bath and of course, more birdseed! Thank you Kara and Chris for creating this amazing space for nature lovers. It’s heartwarming to support businesses and people that are part of the solution towards making this place we call home one that supports all kinds of life, including our fine feathered friends.

Stopped here to get a gift for my mother-in-law. Beautiful selection of items at a variety of price points. Owner is very friendly and super knowledgeable. She was also very kind to our two-year-old and encouraged her to scoop the birdfeed we were collecting. This place is a gem. Will definitely be back!

What a wonderful store. It has perfect gifts for the bird lover and gardener. I learned so much talking to the owners. If you need that unique holiday gift, or need the perfect bird seed for your backyard (or front), or just a nice shop to visit, this is the place.

Absolutely incredible store! This store is so much more than just a store, it’s an experience. They have so many great varieties of bird seed & for much less than I would have paid at any big box store. My daughter loved getting to scoop her own bird seed & I can’t wait to stop in again.

Beautiful shop, with all kinds of products including hand made, locally made, for wild bird enthusiasts. Bring your own container for by the lb seed, or they'll provide a recycled one.

If you want to learn about feeding birds or need a great gift come to House Finch. The owner is knowledgeable and can steer you in the right direction on how to grow your backyard bird population. Great gifts also.

At the age of 35, I suddenly found myself enchanted by birds. Apparently, this is what happens. The ensuing years have been spent making my yard as bird friendly as possible to attract more of our native species, so one can imagine how overjoyed I was to see the House Finch open up shop. They have a wonderful array of curated bird seed to attract all of our favorite feathered friends, as well as a vast assortment of feeders, suet, and other fun bird and gardening-related paraphernalia. It's a wild bird-lovers paradise and easily one of our favorite stores in Collingswood. If you love nature and have found yourself in the "bird-watching" phase of your life, like I have, come check this place out. You will not leave empty handed, but you will leave with a greater excitement for the wildlife in your own backyard!

Wonderful shop for urban naturalists. Excellent source of wildlife supplies (high quality bird feed with no fillers) bird feeders, bird baths. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful.

I’m so happy to have the beautiful House Finch store in town! Kara is so welcoming and informative. I would recommend this store to any nature lover! I highly recommend the hot pepper bird seed.

This store is an absolute GEM! The selection, ambiance and overall vibe of the store is amazing. Not to mention the aesthetic is beautiful. The owner, Kara, was so kind and helpful. This is the perfect spot for any nature/bird lover to get supplies!

We love coming here. It's decorated so perfectly, you almost feel like you're outdoors. We love the window display. The birds go absolutely wild for the seed blends we've gotten here. Lots of supplies for everything from bird baths, feeders, gifts, and more. Staff is super friendly and is super knowledgeable. She makes great recommendations.

Love this place! Whether you’re a backyard birder, someone who does conservation and native gardening, or a person looking for a gift for an outdoorsy kid or grown up, this store has it. Folks here are welcoming and knowledgeable, and it’s always enjoyable to stop by House Finch.

Love this new store on Haddon Ave! Warm and knowledgeable husband and wife team selling bulk bird seed of many varieties and an adorable assortment of retail items - from books to feeders to jewelry.

I have a birdfeeder that had been full of seed for a couple of months without birds touching it. The seed variety that was recommended did the trick and within two days all the birds came running for snacks! :)

Wonderful store full of bird and garden supplies and super cute gifts for nature and bird lovers. Very eco-friendly and they offer a lot of quality bird seed by the pound. I’m sure I’ll be visiting the store again in the future.

Cool little shop. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. We bought a great squirrel proof bird feeder and pole.

This place is absolutely adorable. Has the best quality food for your backyard friends.
