Great place but NEVER order the meatballs- disgusting!! Now I worry about the other sandwiches...

Very nice Farm store. Had no idea where I was because it was so dark. Loved all the different selections of specialty items such as jelly, honey, fresh produce and candy. The bakery had great selections which we chose quite a few. Coming back in the day time lol read more

The food is amazing here! Go see Roger @ the pizza department...he's awesome! Atkins Farms has their act together! They have nailed the ambiance of the experience. How I wish we had Atkins in CA! read more

Atkins is excellent. Travelers must place this on their bucket list. The apple cider donuts are smaller than when I was young, but the taste is number one. The employees are so attentive. Be sure to make the time and ask them how their day is going. You'll know. Happy employees mean wonderful owners. It's that easy. read more

I've been here several times: always good quality merchandise and produce which brought me back. Nice to have this lovely local spot that doesn't have the "chain store" vibe. read more

I've usually like the baked goods that I've purchased at Atkins -- cookies, lemon loaves and pies. But yesterday, April 18, 2026, I bought a Banana Nut loaf and it was sooo dry -- I put it in the compost bin. Wasted $6.99. read more

Atkins Farms is a photographers dream market. All the food is good enough to be photographed for a DK kids book or a cook book. Atkins has lovely gifts, flowers, holiday stuff, a bakery, seating with prepared foods. Also no other market in Amherst, or Hadley has fresher food. If you are a Japanese or Italian food snob and you are making sushi or a caprese salad this is the place you need to go for your ingredients. read more

I've been a fan of Atkins since I was an undergrad at UMass Amherst in the 90s, and I was excited to be back in the happy Valley recently for a swing by. It was exactly as I remembered- tons of fresh veggies, juices, baked goods, locally sourced products and ice cream. I remember this place being my farmers market before farmers markets became a thing. Plenty of parking, lots of seating in their Cafe. The staff is super friendly and helpful and provide excellent service. Definitely worth a visit! read more

It was fun to revisit this place that holds a lot of childhood memories for me. I used to get a delicious mocha cake from the bakery here for my birthday sometimes, and they used to sell a lot of little knicknacks. That part has largely been replaced by craft beer and wine, but I'm not really complaining. Unfortunately we were going on a longish drive and couldn't get perishable things but the loaf of chocolate sour cream cake and cider donuts were delicious, and the honey beer we got from a local brewery was nice as well. This place is cheery and full of craft condiments, nice bakery items and prepared foods, and fun gifts. Things are pricey but that's to be expected. read more

This is the only place I or my family members have been able to find Keogh's Truffle and Real Irish Butter potato chips, and this alone earns them 5 stars. They are also one of the few places to pick up Outlook Farms White Peach hard cider. Not that either is guaranteed to be easy to find, but at Atkins at least I have hope. On top of the great finds, though, there is nice deli selection, hot sandwiches, a decedent bakery and chocolates section, and of course a lot of high quality fresh veg. There is also an ice cream section outside that I haven't eaten at which has seating both right next to it and a more general seating section where you can eat your deli items. I believe there's also seating indoors but I have not used that myself. Prices in general are not cheap, however, especially in the freezer section. We have found some pretty good deals in the fruits and vegetables, however, and the grapes we just picked up were cheap and are top notch. Another slight negative is that ordering sandwiches is quite slow and a bit complicated, the process involves a lot of standing around and waiting, especially when it is crowded, but even when it does not seem to be particularly crowded. The sandwiches you do finally get are great, though. It takes us about 20 minutes, or maybe a little more, to get to a Atkins so for us it is a rare trip and kind of a "destination" shopping outing, during which we also get lunch. I don't think I would ever get all my groceries here just because the prices are a bit steep and it's too far from me, but for the occasional outing to buy fun things and have a good lunch we are more than happy to set aside some time on the weekend and spend a good afternoon browsing and eating at Atkins. read more

Cannot emphasize enough as a business point of view how well this place is run. From friendly staff, quick service and clean / maintained floors. Everything about here is what you should expect a well ran business to be. If your new to the area you can find yourself with a shopping cart full of stuff. I popped for the sakes of it and as I was walking around I found myself getting a bunch of healthy snacks for the work week. I think I did well passing up the candy store despite it all looking delicious. I checked out the deli and found myself getting a sandwich for lunch. Although eating a sundae first spoiled the thought of eating it now. I know where this place for when I am in the area. Certainly worth coming in and supporting your local community. read more

Been coming here for decades--when it used to be apples and cider. Went in today and yes the food quality is good, some good deals on produce--overall pricey BUT phew---rude staff at the bakery, cold staff at the register, long faces on other employees------might as well have stayed in Boston. There's enough other places around the Valley--Coops and such but I'm not up for snitty staff when simply asking for a donut. Rude. read more

Such a cute market with pumpkins, apple cider donuts (not warm/fresh but still delicious), a bakery, ice cream, and probably a lot more :)

This is a great place for lunch or a snack, plus groceries. The selection of fresh produce is outstanding.

Fantastic market! The staff here is really friendly and helpful, able to answer questions about the many offerings and provide recommendations. The grocery portion is well-stocked with great products and lots of fresh produce. Many local specialties are featured as well. The highlight to me is the prepared food counters, especially the baked goods. I had some amazing donuts and very good coffee. Atkins Farms feels like the perfect combination of a grocery store and a farmer's market. Definitely the place to go for great food options, whether you'll be making something yourself or letting them do the cooking for you. read more

Atkins is a supermarket with seating next to the bakery. The deli has a big food selection and I tried a meatball and turkey reuben sandwich, a wedding meatball soup and a cider donut. It was pleasantly surprising to find international items, reminiscent of countries I've recently visited. The service for check out was quick, and it had a quiet ambiance. It didn't give a farm-like feel, except for the apple cider and soup offerings. The presence of a tourist map for exploration was appreciated. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would definitely consider returning. read more

Horrible service and super dirty. 3 women working behind bakery counter doing nothing with arms folded. Every table filthy and asked one if they had anything to clean tables. She lazily pointed to spray bottle and says Yah there's stuff over there. We asked a question about the maple sugar. They looked at us and said did you ring the candy bell?? So we ring the candy bell. They look at us and ignore us. Felt like I was being pranked. Serious lack of work ethic and management here. One bright spot - the deli guy was nice. read more

Amazing bakery! But in general amazing store and employees are very sweet. Great place for ice cream in the summer time also!

4/5 overall, 3/5 for donuts! Not very crowded around 10:00AM on a Sunday. Pros: -Donuts! Way more varieties than I thought--both cake and yeast. -Donuts are inexpensive -- Staff donut recommendation: cider donut $1.98 for 2 donuts Cider Donut Small cake donut with sugar coating. Soft cake that was a bit dry. Would definitely be better warm. Honey Dip Plain glazed donut. Very thick. Good amount of glaze, but not particularly memorable. read more

AH MAZ ING. Atkins Farms is so great. I've ordered for delivery to our college kid, and they are so helpful. In person, they have so many options of fresh produce year-round, it's really great. It's such a pleasant and enjoyable place, you can just block out the sometimes-high prices and enjoy. Don't forget to get some incredibly yummy soft-serve ice cream in warm weather. read more

I just love Atkins so much. If you're looking for a cozy bakery a grocery store featuring local produce, this spot is for you. Their apple cider donuts are next level good. This place is everything I love about New England wrapped up in a store. Check them out if you're ever in the area! read more

A must stop in Amherst area. We come every time we visit our college student in the area. Great bakery /coffee and good prices. Wine selection always surprises. Fresh produce is plentiful. The prepared food in back has many choices and you can make an easy picnic. They have grocery staples and some gifts too. Just go in there and look around. read more

The flower shop no longer has professional designers since Aug. 2024! These website arrangements were designed by previous designers that left due to hostile work conditions. They should be taken down since no one has the ability to replicate them!!! It's sad the owner doesn't care and the arrangements now look like crap! Save your money and go to a local florist that takes pride in their quality products. I am speaking on behalf of these ex~employees that were left no choice but to quit!! read more

I love Atkins! Since I discovered this more than 4 years ago I always make a point to visit every couple weeks. The produce is fresh and local! They have a great beer and wine section with an amazing selection of craft ciders too. I enjoy visiting most during the fall - the cider donuts are a must. It's also a great place to get a variety of fall pumpkins and decor. In the summer, I can still find a reason to come. They have an ice cream window that serves classic ice cream and soft serve. The last time I visited, I picked up a cherry dipped cone. Perfection! read more

We really enjoyed our visit for the extensive selection of local beers, fruits and vegetables (purple peppers and plums), local jams, and excellent fresh juices. It is also excellent for souvenir shopping - I am a repeat customer of their decorative bunches of Purple and multicolored corn, (some purely decorative, some can be made into popcorn), gorgeous wreaths of dried flowers ($50-75) and dried flower posies, local crafts galore. read more

Wow! Totally surprised how expensive everything was....a 5.5 oz bag of Pretzel Chips Dark Chocolate Drizzlers was $7.39!!!!! Are you kidding..... Didn't know the price until I got at checkout and it was rung up. Decided to let it go and not create an issue----the gal at the register was extremely unfriendly. No hello, etc. that one usually receives when checking out and certainly there was no thank you for shopping here. It's ok, I won't shop here again. read more

The first time I saw Atkins Farms was during my last visit when we were taking the back roads way to the Trader Joes in Hadley. I distinctly remember wanting to stop because the farm looked so inviting, and finally on this visit I got to do so. The overall word to describe Atkins farm is 'Charming', it is exactly that. Not only is it very well organized with country style decor but all the items just seem to motivate you to stroll down the isle and spend probably more than required time there. There are loads of local items there and a great treat for those of us from out of town who are looking for something unique to bring back to family or friends. All of this being said, if I were a local, I'd probably only shop the sale items which are definitely worth it. On our visit they had 3lb bags of sweet onions for 99 cents, dude... Not only that but we picked up this incredibly smooth shiraz wine from Austria for only $6, just an incredible value! Last but not least, the apple cider donuts; do it. read more

Best farmer's style market I've ever been to. Great produce, meats are excellent cut, wide variety in the bakery, gifts and more. They have excellent premade individual sides, main entrée and all are outstanding. They also make the best deli sandwiches and soup. Everyone working there is very helpful and friendly. It's also a great place to sit with a cup of coffee and a muffin or danish. They make excellent fudge and candies...... it's a one-stop shop of excellent quality. read more

As a UMASS alum and parent of a recent grad and a current student, I, surprisingly, had never been to Atkins Farms' flagship store (I had been to their store in North Amherst which, sadly, recently closed.) My younger son and I went for a visit last week to find a bustling scene with long line to get in. The line moved quickly and were surprised at the vast array of offerings from fresh produce to baked goods to gourmet foods to deli to meat and seafoods, prepared foods; you name it! And it's a great spot to make your fall pumpkin-picking pilgrimage! We'll be back soon! read more

Atkins Farms is a great place. Much improved since my last visit. They offer apple picking in the fall and on the Saturday we stopped in they had a scarecrow making event and a lovely selection of pumpkins and gourds for fall decorating. The store and eating area is beautiful. Great selection of produce, spices, a full bakery, maple syrup, candy, etc. I had a delicious apple cider do-nut. Tons of people hanging out there on a beautiful Saturday fall afternoon. Great local business! read more

I may not be fully equipped to provide a review but I can vouch for their coffee, the bakery counter, the breadth of products and beautiful produce, as well as a nice beer selection and gift area. Definitely an Eastern European influence, like Polish donuts and kielbasa abd other clues picked up. Overall, what a great place. read more

Exactly one year ago today I stopped in to get 2 gift baskets. The pre-made ones didn't have what I wanted. So they said they would do 2 Custom baskets and it would be 30mins. I went around the store and got everything I needed for the 2 baskets and then waited 30mins and they were all done. Today I called to find out if they were still doing custom baskets and they tell me 48hrs notice. I said a year ago you did it on the spot and now you are telling me 48 hrs. Absolutely horrible customer service. I have to drive 100 miles to go here and going twice 2 days before Christmas is crazy. This is why they DESERVE 1 STAR! read more

Atkins is a lovely market that provides fruit and vegetables from not only local farms but from their own as well. Excellent quality at good prices. Can't beat the homemade taste of their fudge and other bakery items. Atkins reminds me of a Trader Joe's but more focused on the local aspect by selling locally made products. I respect them for that. They have a deli and you can get sandwiches prepared while you wait. While waiting in line to check out (the line goes quick!), take a peak at the lovely indoor plants they have along the way. I get tempted to take one home every time I'm there! I also can't forget to mention during the fall season, they have great prices on luscious full mums and huge pumpkins. P.S. don't leave without getting your hands on their handmade apple cider donuts! You'll thank me later. read more

I have been here a few times now and absolutely love it! I live a great deal away from Amherst so they only thing I initially knew about Atkins was the apple cider donuts. Boy they do not disappoint. The next time I shopped here was during a weekend stay at a BnB. This time I sampled the robust produce selection and noticed the variety of grocery, meat and fish items for sale. They do a great job! I can also recommend the fudge and there is a lot of it. Look for the beer selection as well, which features many local brews. I wish my local places were as good as this one! read more

I take all out-of-towners for a good produce shop and to browse through the mustards, candies, olive oils, teas, etc. There are always new, interesting, and high quality types of produce widely available at Atkins. The prices for produce aren't outrageous, and that's a win. The rest of the grocery section is overpriced but I do manage to impulse buy a little something each time I go in. The general consensus is that the Cider Donuts aren't to be skipped. You can buy a half dozen either in the aisle prebagged or fresh from the case. read more

Loved this place. Anything you may want you can get here. We had pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Everything was incredible. Freshly made, quality ingredients with great taste and very fair price. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend. read more
