There's a seafood counter with seasoning right in front. I hear you can get a sandwich towards the back. There are beautiful flowers in a cooler. You pay for everything at the register up front. It's an absolutely perfect store for a small town with a little bit of everything, even socks. Parking is pretty ample, it shares a plaza with USPS, a restaurant, and several other stores. You are encouraged to bring in your own bags.

The staff here are pleasant and knowledgeable folks, and the greenhouse and the inside market are clean and easily accessed. Not much at the inside store, but that will come later this season.

The farm store, where you pay on the honor system (places like this make me so happy), also has kimchi, eggs, frozen meat of various kinds, and a few baked goods on offer. Just be careful when exiting the lot. If you have a non-SUV, you're likely to bottom out. p.s. Friends just stayed at a separate apartment adjoining the main home on the property and it was quite charming. The creamery / dairy farm also hosts full blown farm stays, evidently. p.p.s. I scoped out their website after our friends stayed at the farm and had to share this page (https://calfandclovercreamery.com/cows) describing the beautiful calves with their beautiful mamas, who are responsible for this delicious milk.

Presently, while hubs and I have been spending more time in Woodstock on the weekends since the late part of June, we see the need to support the local bounty that surrounds us and the best way to eat from farm to fork. If this isn't enough, these folks also carry a small collection of home products made by independent makers. Migliorelli is all about veggies and fruits- so the cheeses, milk, yogurt and pastries you see when you come here, are sourced from partnering dairy farms. In spite of that, I still picked up Gruyère, Parmesan, other cheeses and milk. Fish and other seafood are sold on weekends. I've heard and read two different stories about how they source their seafood. Is it locally caught? Not sure. Actually, don't think so. I'm not completely bothered by it. The young ladies here are helpful and if you have any questions about something, speak up. Prices reflect the Catskills- but you won't break your wallet. When I come here, I know I can stock up my pantry and fridge with ease and freshness.

About time for a re-review…read more... Oh Averill Farm... How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. - The farm is family run and truly feels like it. The folks who work there are SO nice and helpful and friendly and kind. There are kiddos and farm pups running around, kind signs offering water for those who need it (in stark contrast to a certain corporate orchard we despise, which does not provide drinking water to patrons and does not allow patrons to bring water in, even for dogs). Averill is the kind of simply humane, thoughtful place that brings joy to my heart. - The farm is beautiful. So beautiful. On a coolish autumn morning, it's uncrowded and you can gaze out into the distance to see tractors mowing in distant fields, outlined against a periwinkle sky, rows and rows of neat trees, all impeccably well kept. Adjacent to the farm market, there's a big, wide field with a generous number of picnic tables placed all around, far enough from one another that you can pretend like you have the field all to yourself. - Farm produce and products are pure goodness. Apples and pears are magnificent, of course: juicy, healthy, not doused with pesticides. Cider donuts are freshly fried, well blotted, and not overly sweet. An apple crumb pie, redolent with butter and still warm at purchase, was world class, not overly sweet. Pear and apple cider are the embodiment of clean, adulterated fruit flavor. It's food I feel good about feeding to my kiddos. - The bathroom is a port-a-potty situation, but the one I used was pretty clean. There are four behind the farm store. - Pricing is fair. - Fellow patrons are civilized and respectful, which makes me so happy. Policies are generous, rules are reasonable -- and as a result, patrons don't feel like they have to claw back something from the business to even out the playing field. At some large, commercial places, you see some patrons pull apple after apple off of trees, take one bite, and then throw them down into the grass to rot (so they feel like their insanely high cost of entry is justified, I speculate). Averill owners and Averill patrons are respectful of one another, making for a truly pleasant visit. If you enjoy a bucolic, relaxing and beautiful apple picking (without the gaudy carnivalesque elements offered by some larger establishments), Averill Farm is an absolute must.
