If you come to Clarkdale Fruit Farm from the south, you must pass The Bars Farm Stand. The stand…read moreoffers a wide variety of very fresh, beautiful produce grown by two-generations of the same family. It is an IPM farm which also serves local restaurants. They also sell some produce from other local farmers. The family claims to offer the best tomatoes in the Pioneer Valley. I agree. I regularly buy their "seconds" to make tomato soup, a favorite of mine. I find their seconds better than the firsts offered by many stands and certainly better than most tomatoes sold at supermarkets. The variety of produce available here is delightful. Ratatouille fans will be in their glory, trying to select which variety of eggplant, summer squash and more to enhance this classic for this visit. For those who like their ratatouille with a kick, the farmers have developed a passion for peppers and offer a wide variety of these difficult-to-grow-in-Massachusetts veggies. Hey, even if you're not a cook, but a watercolorist, this is the place to purchase all of your "models." Imagine piles of yellow, green, purple and orange peppers in a beautiful, handthrown ceramic bowl. After you paint their portrait, stretch yourself in the kitchen, take out the wok and stewpot and make something tasty. The farm also offers fresh flowers grown on site and bedding plants in the spring.

This is an awesome little farm stand! It's a great place to find seedlings in the spring. The…read morecatnip we started two years ago has grown into the catnip forest, now enjoyed by all the neighborhood cats. Also, it is a good place to find whatever fruits and vegetables in season. They have an excellent selection and their peppers, both sweet and hot, absolutely cannot be beat. Friendly and helpful staff, I can't recommend them highly enough.

In…read morehindsight, that's to be expected it being sunny, 65F degrees outside, oh and spring break was in full swing. So this Farmers market is between OK and Good so I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I think if there were more vendors out here it would be great. Despite the fact that it's kinda small for a farmers market, I was surprised at the variety I saw. Macaroons, ice cream, coffee, produce, flowers, hungry ghost bread, candles, soaps, meats, eggs, hungry ghost bread, polish pastries, handmade jewelry, live music, hand spun wool yarn, did I mention hungry ghost bread? I repeated HGB because they had a line that wouldn't quit. They had 5 different kinds of breads available, plus a couple of cookies for sale. Their bread is the best, there honestly is nothing like it so try it out if they haven't sold out by the time you get there. They had a wheel you could spin for a chance to get discounted or free things and we won a $2 off coupon at the polish pastry tent. We got this savory donut thing (I totally forgot what it's called) filled with squash, potato, cabbage and cheese wow. It was really really good. Picked up some produce where they had a lot of heirloom varieties you definitely wouldn't find in a mass produced supermarket. I ended up getting some watermelon radishes, rainbow carrots, and these funky potatoes that are Ruby red when you cut them. They had some nice live music going as well. Would definitely come back to pick up some goodies.

Wedged in between Thorne's Market and the parking garage, there are a couple dozen stalls from all…read moremanner of area small farms and operations. The ones I particularly patronize are Red Fire Farm (this being, from both its size and the number of its patrons, the market's star) and Hungry Ghost Bread. They often do have live music, and while it's crowded, well ... I'm a veteran of the Haymarket Friday/Saturday pushcarts in Boston, so "crowded" is a matter of perspective. Yes, the prices are as high as one can expect for fresh farm produce and boutique operations, but it isn't as if one can't go to Big Y or Stop & Shop to find poorer quality at a cheaper price. As it happens, they do take SNAP, and while most people on SNAP can't afford to blow their wad on a $6 pint of grape tomatoes or a $7 loaf of bread, the market will double up to $10 a week, which makes these things quite affordable. Last week I left with a pint of tomatoes, a loaf of bread, and a bunch of very tart chives. Finestkind!

She grabbed a small container of generic M&M's. She didn't bother to look at the price. They cost $10.99 for a half pound!!!

This was for a completely dry sandwich that came with no mustard no mayonnaise no butter no dressing. Another time I asked for salt and was told "no." I tracked down the manager who said "of course you can have salt." He gave me some in a small plastic cup. Since then I noticed they have packets of salt on the counter. That's great. Hopefully, they'll add packets of vinegar and maybe some mustard and mayonnaise (or they could have bottles for in-store diners' use. They really they need to be trained on Customer Service and I see other people have complained about that too. It's a shame.

They have beautiful local produce, meat, and groceries -- and the best cider donuts. The donuts that we had were crispy (did I mention that?) with a great cinnamon and sugar coating.
