Not the price they were a year ago, they offer freshness, decent prices and tax free, However no credit cards accepted. One can haggle if it is close to 9:30 AM closing and if you plan to buy in quantity. No one is unkind and these are the original growers that all hail from Connecticut farms. I is great to support our own and what beats the fragrance of the flowers that fill the car as you head home to create a beautul something? Bring a wagon or good walking shoes as you will make a lot of "to the car" walks as you gather the variety of offered items. Most things are cheaper than found at Lowes or Home Depot and it is fun to listen to folks talk/brag about their purchases. ...and easy to each off I-91 !!!

I recently moved nearby and was curious about this Farm's offerings. My review exclusively focusses…read moreon the food-related Farm-stand part of the business. They sell plants and flowers, but I didn't pay attention to that aspect of their operations. Cold Spring sells some of their own produce, products from other CT Farms and/or Orchards, Cold Spring branded products such as salsa, and other area products such as bread from a local bakery. I bought green cabbage, peaches, celery and salsa. Everything seemed appropriate quality for seasonal CT produce. The produce I didn't buy also looked good and represented what's in season pretty well. I will definitely go back for in season produce since I live in the area. This is an observation as opposed to a criticism. The reason I'm giving Cold Brook 4 Stars rather than 5 Stars relates to the extent of their offerings compared to another Farm Stand I frequently visit that's a bit farther away. That Farm Stand has a wide range of partnerships with high end CT businesses and they have things like high quality bagels, cheeses, pies, cupcakes, ice cream sandwiches, etc. That Farm Stand also has a wider range of canned goods, meats, and dairy products etc. I would travel farther to a Farm Stand like that because there are more products that interest me. Cold Spring will be the place I go for convenience when I want in season produce for a few days.

3 glorious seasons of the year you can find starter flats and baskets here at Cold Spring Broom…read more Annuals, perennials, and garden starters are all here! As they price individually and in sets, you may end up bringing home more plants than planned, but this is a good spot to get it all started. We now have a glorious set of tomatoes in progress, and now a couple extra tomato planters. The double decker wagons all over also help you take home more. The little farm store, extra colorful with its murals, has honey, maple syrup, salsa, and maybe more on down the season. It's neat to see start and end of season at the checkout, and the staff was kind. Thankfully there is extra parking is on both sides of the farm store, in case you're driving East, just look out for wagon traffic on your way through each greenhouse.

The quality of the trees is great - 5-6 years and we've never had a bad tree. They're full, look green and healthy until the New Year and smell amazing. As a plus, there's complimentary hot cider and popcorn, which my kids love. Something I can say yes to after picking out our tree and it also provides a snack for the ride home.

Pumpkin Town is mostly a pre-K through elementary age playground but adults have fun too. There are…read moreendless photo stops: come back to the big pumpkin back drop if there's a line when you enter, go straight to face painting before that line grows. Backdrop cutouts, the tractor, and a grow line are other photo stops that keep you coming back. One heads up that admission doubles on weekends, but $8 per person wasn't terrible, and there's a discount if you buy hayride and Pumpkin Town tickets together. Pumpkin facts are all over pumpkin town (pumpkins are hand-painted, costumed each year, and stored nightly, etc.) and it's a fun scavenger hunt for these facts. Jumping houses, tubes, and interactive houses were the best parts for our little one. Credit/debit users, remember to bring cash for postcards as you can send them postmarked from Pumpkin Town, autumn treats like cider donuts and popcorn at the snack stand, and the catapults over the pond aimed at Red Sox and Yankees targets (must be a Mets Family here!). Also remember a couple bucks to cash for the breast cancer donation box, in memory of Sandy herself. Having to bring cash isn't my favorite but there was a farm stand and snack bar with souvenirs where cards could be used. Pumpkin Town is part folk art installation, part amusement park, part harvest fair, and a fun tradition. I only wish they had a Santa Town each winter...
