Peaches the best we've tasted, The bouquet (via Old Friends Farm) was exquisite, calaloo green (first I'd tasted these, but similar to Amaranth) delicious, fresh, and delicate and the pickling cukes (not pickled, but eaten) the best I've tasted (even from my own garden). Everything very fresh and brought the car in two boxes when I arrived. Will definitely return. Many many thanks.

If I had more time, I would have definitely sat around staring at the cows hanging behind the store. This is an absolute gem and well worth supporting this business. The baked goods are great, there are good cheeses and dairy, and a variety of other things that accompany those two staples.

But not expensive either, and fine for everyday use. There are baked goods, preserves and local grains which you can grind in the provided Nutrimill. (Flour produced this way will be cheaper than the preground bags on the shelf.) In winter at least, there's an honor system checkout which has been updated with a iPad and a Square credit card reader.

Cannot say enough about an orchard with a view!…read more Did a fall foliage drive and decided to drive past the orchard. I always drive through in the winter for the beautiful sunrise over the mountains in the distance. Never seen it in the fall before and it was busy! Too be expected as my buddy owns Fern Valley Farm in Wilbraham so I already have my apples for the year. But, my girlfriend and I stopped for some cider and a cider donut at one of the stands off to the side in the parking lot. I had a cider lemonade which I enjoyed. Babe had a regular cider which was not to her liking as, in my opinion, coming from Michigan there is a lot of culture she's getting used to around here. I wouldn't put it past this being a fun trip for any family! Looks as if you get a tractor ride to some of the apples if you so choose to do that.

We take the tractor ride down to the orchard and pick bushel's to take home. Many different kinds of apples to pick. Cider donuts and cider are available in the little store. P.S. there is also a new cidery located directly across the street that has fantastic (6%) ciders.

I understand that mushrooms aren't for everybody. Some people love them. Some people hate them…read more Some people like them raw but not cooked. Some people eat them cooked but cower at the sight of them uncooked. That's just the way we are I guess. But mark my words, if you are a mushroom guy or gal, you will flip handsprings at what this company offers. Organically grown wild mushrooms and edible plants are what they sell. I ran into NEWE at the Northampton Farmers Market and struck up a conversation with Paul Lagreze. It took me about 5 seconds to see how knowledgeable and passionate he was about what he was selling. NEWE offers Shitake mushrooms (100% Organic, log-grown), Oyster mushrooms (Sustainably wild-gathered), morels, ramps (a kind of wild onion), and something called "Chicken of the Woods". Of course I had to buy a $5 pint of Chicken of the Woods, What is it? Well, I don't really know - it looks like old breakfast biscuits that have been tossed under a steam roller and left out in the sun too long. Paul said you could cook it just like chicken, and ,,, yes he did say "Tastes like chicken". I wrapped it in foil, added some water and teriyaki sauce and sirachi, and baked at 350 for a while. I gotta say -- it was very good, and yes, it did taste like chicken. I took a photo for you to see how it came out. Go support a cool local business run by a very nice guy....

Boy I tell you. What a Find! An actual Diemand in the Rough (pun super intended, but totally over…read moreused, and I don't care) First and foremost, I'm a BBQ reveiwer, this place is traditionally a family turkey farm (pretty sure anyways) and they make the absolute BEST TURKEY AND CHICKEN POT PIES EVER!!!! They also have a bunch of other goodies for sale in their farm store. That being said, BBQ! I very randomly stumbled upon this place while attempting to get lost in the middle of Massachusetts one day. And I stopped in and grabbed a frozen pie to go and heard about this amazing cook out they do every other Monday from like June through August? Maybe September? Gotta check the schedule anyway. So you can go online to their website, click on the Smokehouse Dinners, chose one of their meal plans ( I believe it's Ribs, Chicken, Sausage, .... and one more thing, let me check ... OMG! They changed the Menu!!! Now it's a choice between Ribs, Chicken, BRISKET! OR A TURKEY LEG!?!?! I have To Go BACK NOW!!!) and they come with a cube cut of Awesome homemade corn bread (the ones with the kernels still juicy in the bread!) slice of watermelon, and all you can drink Ice tea and Lemonade, and your choice of 2 sides. Mac and Cheese (good old how grandma use to make it style!) Corn on the cob (oh yes!) I think they had a celery salad and a potato salad maybe? But now they offer roasted butternut squash! I loved my ribs, they weren't as big as I'm use to but they were cooked perfectly. I can tell a lot of love went into the smoking process. My partner had the chicken, it was a 1/2 smoked chicken smoked to perfection as well. So, this place is just a real gem of a place. It's almost like even though you bought a $20 ticket to be there, it feels a hell of a lot more like your friendly neighbors sent you an invitation to their fun backyard BBQ. They had a local string band playing traditional Irish and American tunes. We were all under a canopy tent with picnic tables. We chilled for awhile listening to the music, meeting the locals, watching the sunset over the mountains and all their cows in the fields, just sippin on some cool iced tea and lemonades while they put the finishing touches on the food. I was kinda disappointed they didn't have someone ringing a triangle when the food was ready. And afterwards they had Barts Ice Cream selling small little cups of only 3 of their flavors, I think $4 a cup? It was a very small portion and only 3 flavors, but I guess we were lucky to have even that, It's just one person who has to drag a cart all the way behind the house. You can go inside the farm store and they have some baked goods and some ice cream sandwiches and other yummy things. They brought they're pony or donkey out to say hi to everyone. All their cows came right up to the fence and started eating the piles of corn husks and we got to feed them and pet them too. It was just such a great evening with good people and such a small town welcoming kindness that's getting harder and harder to find now a days. Love the place, love the food, love the people. Awesome!!!

For my $20 I got a big cube of something that looks like bark mulch. It'll take a while to see how this all works out, but in scanning the directions, I need to refrigerate it for a few days, set it on a plate, spray it with water and keep a plastic cover on it until mushrooms magically appear, which is a little different than waiting for magic mushrooms to appear. So it's sitting in the fridge now and in a few weeks, I'll report back to see if my spontaneous urge to spend $20 was a smooth move or not. Or will I just be saying the first syllable of "Shiitake"
