Everything looked very good and the woman working there is quite friendly. I went here hoping to pick apples, but they don't offer pick your own. They do have many available for purchase in half peck bags though and they really are good for being home-grown. I saw on another website you could pick apples here so that was a bummer, but I guess they do have pick your own strawberries in the spring. Worth stopping if you are in the area.

I was in downtown Springfield for a meeting. When I arrived in our capitol of the state of Illinois…read moreby train, I noticed all the pop-up canopies and busy foot traffic. So when I arrived at the Amtrak station, I asked one of the helpful agents, what I had just seen. He informed me that it was the mid-week farmers market. When I was done with my very short meeting, I took off to explore this delightful little market. It was only about two blocks long, but it had an amazing assortment of vendors. Traveling by train for the day, I was limited to what I could buy, If I lived local, I would have had shopping bags full. I did buy some scones from one bakery, for a snack later in the day and for my breakfast the next morning. Again, if I were local, I would have bought some fresh vegetables, homemade sausage, fresh flowers and so much more. The vendors that I spoke with were good ole country friendly and I could sense their passion in the products they were offering. In addition to the vendors, a local radio station was broadcasting live outside one of the near-by restaurants. Music to shop by is always a nice touch. As i left the market, I wandered in a different direction then when I arrived and stumble upon a sign alerting parkers not to utilize a lot on Friday night and Saturday. Why? It's saved for the Saturday, Farmers Market. So, I can only imagine the Farmer's Market on Saturday must be BIGGER and BETTER. When: June 23, 2021 Why: In town for meeting - out exploring downtown

We had never been here but decided to give their Easter Buffet a try. They opened at 9 and there…read morewas a short line. After they opened, the line moved fairly quickly. They had breakfast food first and the eggs and bacon were wonderful -- no scorched eggs here! The hash brown casserole was also good. They had a salad bar, but we were more interested in breakfast food. There was a carving station with ham and prime rib. Both were very good, although I would have preferred the prime rib to be less done. There was another station that had boiled shrimp. It was cold, very fresh, and delicious. Their bakery items were wonderful. My favorite was the chocolate croissants. They had cakes, cookies, and a large variety of sweets. The buffet was $25, but the only drink that came with that was water. If you wanted coffee or tea or cola, it was a generous extra charge. Their seating area was not very large and filled up quickly. I saw people going upstairs because there were no more seats in the restaurant area. We walked around checking out the groceries after we ate. Most items seemed to be more expensive than other grocery stores in the Springfield area.

I was actually blown away upon a ride. Parking from veterans Boulevard can be a bit tricky but once you're in the strip mall, this place has plenty of parking and it shouldn't be hard finding parking for yourself This place was absolutely huge for a grocery store! Where I walked in from, I was greeted by all the amenities like the : restrooms, hot food Bar, coffee bar, fresh kombucha, etc. The grocery section was very diverse and it had many options such as healthy protein shakes, great single serve meals in the freezer section and plenty of fresh cheeses as well. This store features a really cool upstairs space that I actually did not have a chance to venture to. Tons of fresh produce as well. But ultimately I sell on some of their hot food to go. A chicken breast and some mashed potatoes to go was about $5 which is absolutely good for the price. Overall, I highly recommend this store if I were to come back to the area. Stores like this are hard to find where I'm by so it's great and a grocery store like this exist in Springfield.

A diamond in the rough and a great place for delicious treats…read more We were visiting Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Ill and wanted to get a snack. We found this place online. It is a little south of the city and west of the interstate but it is absolutely worth the detour. It is a rustic place called the Apple barn and parking is right in front. Their website gives a lot more information about it being more than just the main shop that is in the barn. They began as a family apple orchard and expanded over the years into a collection of attractions including two restaurants, a general store, a creamery, a winery, a candy factory, and a Christmas shop, all centered around the original barn built in 1910. We only visited the barn with the bakery goodies and the very friendly staff who helped us get some delicious snacks for the trip back to the hotel. It was great! Even if you don't plan to buy anything, it's worth taking some time to visit to get a snack for your trip or, if you are going to walk around the site, for the extra visit. We found it to be one of the more enjoyable stops to the area capping off a great visit to the Springfield, Ill area.

They are located near the 6th street entrance into the La Brea Tar Pits and LACMA. The fruit combinations vary as you can choose from mangoes, watermelon, cucumbers, pineapples, coconut, honey dew melon, jicama, and more. The flavors of the fruits are enhanced with a squeeze of fresh lime juice, Tajin, and Chamoy (I usually only get a little bit), and a little salt. The cup in this post costs $8 but I've also seen them put together a large container for $10, and believe me, you can't beat that cost for healthy eating options and snacks in Los Angeles!
