Stillman's CSA has TRANSFORMED the way I think about food and groceries!…read more I've always been a fresh produce and meat kind of girl (as my Cantonese background dictates), but I've never really given much thought as to where it all came from. To me, a tomato was a tomato - organic was just something they added to charge you another $3. I mean, I was eating a tomato, wasn't I? Little did I know... So this summer, I decided to take the plunge and add an element of locavore to my weekly shopping. I signed up for the Stillman's CSA by default, seeing as they were the only one I could find who delivered to Brookline. A couple of friends and I split a full share, and golly gosh are we glad we did! Every week, I line up at Clear FLour with the rest of Brookline to get my delivery of fresh mouth-watering local organically grown produce. Sure, sometimes it's not what I would buy (SO many beets the first few weeks!), but it's made me exercise my recipe chops. And a local tomato is definitely not just a tomato. Sweet and tangy, it puts those watery mealy things you get at the salad bar to complete shame. And, as it turns out, it's definitely NOT hard on the budget. $450/season (20 weeks) comes out to $7/person/week for a family (or group) of three, for more vegetables than you could possibly eat! I've taken to freezing things to keep for veggie reserves in the winter. Fresh corn chowder on a cold winter night? Yes please! They do meat too! I wish I had the type of budget to sustain (haha, get it?) a membership in the turkey farm CSA. Maybe when I get a promotion... Anyhow, I'm not quite ready to give up traveling produce - after all, my Chinese roots make demands that HAVE to be seen to, and the winter in Boston is long. Russo's to the rescue, I guess. But overall, Stillman's CSA has opened my eyes to supporting local producers while they do what they do best - putting the freshest tastiest seasonal produce on my table, just as it should be.

I've been back several times since their reopening for the season. I find this place and staff to…read morebe always consistent. As stated in my former review (s) you will never see stickered, dried up fruit or vegetables here. They only sell what they grow. Beware though that when the corn is in there are lines and it sells out VERY quickly. It's that good! These days I no longer cook for a family. So, I'm fine requesting short ears which may or may not be imperfect and a bit less expensive. Their melons, which have been turning up lately are so delicious! Prices are a higher than what you'll see in a supermarket. You are buying fresh picked, native produce. The corn you buy today was picked at sunrise - same day!

It's great that this farm preserves open space. Driving down the hill from them towards downtown…read moreLeominster you see an impressive view of hills and Mount Wachusett in the distance. That's about all I can say for them. The prices are higher than at Dick's Market Garden in Lunenburg. Not everything is price marked either. I liked that they offered beets without all the leaves on them. Then I got home and opened the bag to find they didn't clean the dirt off the bottoms, great big clumps of dirt. Cooked them and when I went to peel them they were white inside. Beets might have white or pale areas due to nutrient deficiencies. They don't give you a detailed receipt so you can see what you bought for how much and comparison shop because they are more than the competition. More money for less.

Did I really make a one hour drive just to pick up some of their pie? Absolutely, and I will…read morecontinue to do so whenever I can! Around Christmastime, a family friend brought over a box of one of Davidian's blueberry pies. None of my family members have a sweet tooth, making us a bit picky when it comes to desserts. We each had a slice after our holiday dinner and could NOT stop raving about how good it was. We immediately took a picture of the box label so that we could remember to stop by there ourselves and pick up some more. While my family and I live about an hour away from this farm, I have to make work trips to the Worcester area every now and then, which gave me the perfect excuse to swing by on my way back home. I grabbed two, a blueberry for my family and an apple one as a gift for a friend. As we were cutting up some slices, my parents and I kept making little jokes that perhaps we'd over-exaggerated to ourselves about how good the pie actually was, as it had been more than 3 months since trying it that first time. Nope! Was literally as delicious as we'd remembered, perhaps even better. The filling is absolutely amazing-- just from taste alone, you can tell that the blueberries are high-quality and sourced directly from their own fields. The entire pie was gone within one night, so I definitely should have bought more, LOL. Typical store-bought pies (you know which ones I mean-- the ones with the artificial, over-processed "fruit" filling) don't hold a candle to Davidian's!

Excellent seasonal produce at this local farm stand. I was there the end of July she's I simply…read moreasked a worker what was grown locally. His manager came out and told me that the corn on the cob, the zucchini, and the pickling cucumbers were grown locally. I bought two of reach to take on my flight back to Florida. Usually I get a box of Italian pastry to bring home but this was even better. I was going to pickle the cukes, but after trying a slice, they were too good to pickle. I had one sliced with organic ranch dressing from Whole Foods. I boiled the fresh corn to go along with barbecue chicken and sautéed and zucchini with butter, garlic and usual seasoning. This stand is the same as I remember it as a child. It's clean and organized. They have the plenty of staff to keep the selection of fruits and vegetables fresh. I will be back soon.

I came to S&S Farm with a simple goal: get a pumpkin. What I didn't expect was a full-on autumnal…read morespiritual journey. First, there's the corn maze. It's not just a maze; it's a test of will and a challenge to your sense of direction. I'm pretty sure I saw a family celebrating their one-year maze-iversary in there. I emerged an hour later, a different man, covered in bits of corn stalk and existential dread. And the pumpkins? They're magnificent. I didn't just pick one; I was chosen. We locked eyes across the field, a giant, warty gourd and I. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated connection. I paid the very reasonable price and felt a sense of pride that I haven't experienced since I successfully parallel parked on the first try. In conclusion, S&S Farm is more than just a farm stand. It's a hilarious, humbling, and slightly muddy adventure. 10/10, would get lost in a corn maze again.

As they are famous for their peaches and apples at the local farmer's market, I really wanted to see the orchard itself as well as have an in-depth chat with one of the owners, Alan, who I got to know when purchasing their amazing produce. They have a really cute farm stand with lots of pumpkins and apples around this time of the year. You also have the option on going apple picking in the orchard and see how the different apples are grown. Alan, who usually doesn't take people on a tour around the orchard, showed me around and explained all their operations throughout the year. It was really eye opening to the farming industry around this region (compared to California where it never stops). Picked up some apples and cider, enjoyed the fall colors before driving through the back route where you can see the Boston skyline from quite a distance. Definitely recommend the non-touristy experience here.

It's not like those places that say you can pick a pumpking, but have them already picked and lined up or in a pile. The scenery was gorgeous as well--trees had great color.

Afterward we went to Meadowbrook Farm and their pumpkins were better and less than half the price. Beyond that, a snotty girl was working at the counter slowly giving out cookies and donuts. I asked her if the apple orchard had cider and she said "no" with no other explanation. She then said "we're making more but it'll be a while". I asked how long it takes and she was super annoyed. Sighing and rolling her eyes she ran back to ask someone else. Upon her return, she told us it would be at least two hours. That was all fine, places run out of things so it was totally understandable. As we're walking out, a lady walked in and asked for cider. The girl asked her how much she needed and went into a different area to give her two bottles. I don't know if the girl that "helped" us was just rude and lazy or really didn't know they had some, but either way, a super disappointing experience. In any area filled with great family farms with similar products, you'd think they might focus a tiny bit on customer service.
