Red Barn Creamery and Sweet Shop (also apparently known as the Stearns Farm Stand) is part…read morecreamery, part bakery and part Farm Market. It's located in Storrs/Mansfield. The area is very cool. I parked roadside, but the entrance is around that side of the building and there was parking closer to the entrance. Out back, there is a great view of open land, grass and trees. There are a few chairs and benches and it's a peaceful spot to eat your food and let young kids run around. I bought an ice cream flight, two cookies, Silver Queen corn and heirloom tomatoes. I'm primarily reviewing the ice cream side of the business, but I'm factoring the other things in as well. Ice cream is always tasty, but I'd say the ice cream was about average for CT ice cream places making their own ice cream. I ordered a flight of Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Blueberry Cheesecake and Cow Palace. The flight came in a cup, rather than some sort of flat container that would keep the flavors separate. I feel like I had a good chance to try the Chocolate Peanut Butter (which reminded me of a Fudgesicle) and the Mint CC (which was kind of standard). The flavors below the top two, kind of blended into each other by the time I got to them. I picked up some cheesecake flavor and berry flavor and chocolate chips. All good. A highlight was the two cookies (a chocolate chip and a peanut butter chip). The kind person who helped me with my ice cream said she made the cookies that morning. My wife ate most of the cookies, but I tried both and they were fresh and delicious. I used a tomato for a BLT. It was good. The Silver queen corn was also good. Red Barn had a reasonably good selection of in season produce, baked goods such as pies, butter, milk, jarred goods. A good place to shop for stuff like that. Four Stars

It's open from Memorial Day through October on Saturdays from 8am until noon. There are 7 regular vendors with more joining periodically so the numbers grow. You'll find the bargain you are looking for here since the prices are significantly lower than other markets. Better yet, this market ACCEPTS SNAP/EBT! So you can pay in a variety of ways. If you are a farmer or an aspiring farmer yourself, you can also purchase your seedlings and plants here in the spring. You'll find seasoned farmers at this market as well as local youth who have lots of good, fresh stuff to share. Sometimes you can even get samples of the things you are interested in purchasing. Nothing like trying before you buy! Stay tuned as this market may have a different location in the future. But until then, check out the sheltered structure near the Frog Bridge/Thread City Crossing in Downtown Romantic Willimantic. This market is part of the Arts and Eats District on Main Street. So many flavors in such a short amount of space!

I stopped on the way to my friends Bbq and grabbed a bakers dozen of corn, sunflowers, and cukes . The corn was delicious, everyone asked where it came from.

As I was leaving he asked where I was headed and he even gave me a shortcut which was scenic and cut down on my travel time. Gotta love that.

The amount of Heirloom varieties she has is really over the top (check the list on her website - with descriptions of the heirlooms) - and they are affordable!

There's a wide array of local farmers, craftspeople, and prepared dishes to peruse and buy from. Everyone is very accommodating and knowledgeable in their craft.

A great place for a hand-made gift to give. I have been to bigger markets, but this one is just right in terms of size. Good people and good products
