In our country that seems to revel in selling us food with a shelf life of at least 6 months, I am…read morealways relieved when I get to go to Fulton Street Market and buy a bunch of fresh food from sellers. I also have gotten the most beautiful wooden cutting boards from a woodworker who is a true artist, and these were priced so reasonably so that I could actually afford a couple of them. The carpenter who made them said he's retired and just likes to create them, they are literal works of art! I've bought flower boxes from a lady whose granddaughter told me has huge flower gardens and does this for the love of it, and you can tell, because everything she makes is amazing. From buying eggs to home made Banana bread, organically grown veggies, you'll never be disappointed coming to Fulton Market... so thankful to have this option in our city.

Everything Green Wagon Farm is about, I am as well. Fantastic organic produce (now available in…read moreForest Hills Foods and Harvest Health Market as well as their gorgeous on-site self-serve store), reasonably priced and always fresh. Also a variety of handmade goods and merchandise in their store as well. I found this gem this spring and am becoming more obsessed with them by the day - also, sign up for their newsletter for stories of happenings at the farm and for wonderful bios as well as crop highlights and recipes. They do everything right - if you need assistance, you also get a prompt and friendly response as well. Please try them - you won't be disappointed!

Green Wagon is certified organic and uses no-till farming methods to build healthy soil and to better serve the land. Growing their food on 4 acres outdoors and 1 acre indoors, the farm is always seeking to better uphold the integrity of the water, soil, air, people they feed and plants under their care.

We loved this orchard SO much!…read more I couldn't believe the amount of fun, free entertainment packed into this farm. We ended up spending nearly three hours bopping our way between activities and snacking. We enjoyed cider, a variety of donuts (including apple cider and pumpkin with cream cheese icing), a big ole bag of "seconds" apples that were in great condition, paid for the four wheeler/train ride through the peaches and much more. The kids especially loved the goats, slide, tractor ride through the property and corn "Sand box". Bathrooms and snack stands were plentiful and clean throughout the front portion of the farm. The staff was all very engaged and friendly as well. I loved that this spot didn't feel cheesy or over commercialized like some orchards can become. It was truly perfect. Can't recommend it enough.

I've been to Schwallier's a couple times now and have had a lovely experience each time! If you…read moredon't get there right at open (or close to it), parking will be very hectic. While they have someone guiding you most of the time, people visiting are not always the most mindful and don't let you out to give up your spot. There is only one entrance/exit for cars, so I think they need to be a little bit more upfront with the flow of traffic and constantly have someone guiding everyone to ensure that parking isn't backed up. There are pumpkins, tracker rides, a little parade car for kids (and adults can fit too) and a play area for the kids. I think it's the perfect place to grab donuts, cider, pick some apples and grab your pumpkin. Just be warned that some areas may be more hectic than others, but that's what you get with a sunny October weekend!

I paid $6.00 for one of their watermelons and it was way too OVERripe! I had to throw more than…read morehalf of it out and am NOT happy. They should have thrown these out instead of selling food that wasn't fit and ripping people off. I also asked the lady working in the vegetable stand if their produce was organic and she stated it wasn't. I won't buy any foods from the dirty dozen list unless they are organic. I am glad she was honest about it but I am not subjecting my loved ones to the risk of cancer because of pesticide laden food. I think all growers who care about their customers would be focusing on growing foods that are free of toxic pesticides.

Bos William Greenhouse and Farm is a locally owned greenhouse in the city that makes you feel like…read moreyou're in the country. Follow the signs along the road and park in their specious lot. There's a greenhouse full of flowers, plants and herbs. The general store looks like a clean barn full of produce and canned goods. We picked up a pint of cherries (so good!) and left with a jar of pickled asparagus too. There's a credit card limit of $5 so go in willing to spend more. Service is great and friendly!

We pulled up at 8 AM to get some donuts. The place was hopping! We could hardly get a parking spot…read more When you go in you are greeted by all kinds of fresh made salsas and jams. There is a whole wall of baked goods like pies and danishes. But the star of the show are the donuts. Homemade and fresh. A dozen of these beauties are less than $14. I'm writing a separate section on the cinnamon rolls. I happen to be a cinnamon roll Connoisseur. They are handmade, stuffed with cinnamon, not too sweet, with just a drizzle of icing on top. Perfection. There was a separate nursery with plants over on the other side of the building. We did not go over there, but it looked very intriguing. When we're in the area will definitely be back.

Small farm with a few activities for kids. The shop has quite a bit of things to choose from and a…read morevariety of donuts. They have a large hayride around the property with creative decorations around, a small wagon ride for kids, a large corn maze, small rope maze, and large slides. It seems they have random stuff scattered around the property to try to offer more things. A lot of it requires extra payment but nothing is overly exciting or memorable. The donuts were average but the variety of flavors were fun to choose from. They seems a tad thicker and more like a cupcake density rather than a light and fluffy donut.

I love the community feel, where conversations run freely, all seem joyous, and loving the shopping experience. Service is wonderful. They also carry an assortment of plants and local products like honey, jams, and jellies. My favorite time is during sweet corn season when you can get two ears for a buck. It closes soon and will open again next spring. Products are pricy, so I recommend checking prices at other places,
