We discovered them recently on our drive to dinner at the Cock 'n' Bull restaurant. The farm planted their blueberry bushes in 2013 and had their first harvest in 2018. We learned this while talking to the friendly wife of the owning family. They are set back in from Galway Rd, just east of the Galway traffic light. Look for the sign on their truly classic, white (fire?)truck at the edge of their driveway. They have a small retail stand from which you can arrange to pick your own blueberries or purchase pints and quarts of berries freshly picked that morning. They also sell pies from Smith's Orchard, cookies and doughnuts from someplace that I didn't get the name of, girl scout cookies, jewelry, maple syrup, and certainly several other items that I didn't take note of. Besides being a really nice place to stop by, the blueberries are delicious! Large, ripe, flavorful berries, no comparison to the ones coming from New Jersey or from far-off countries and currently available in any supermarket. Their pickers also do an excellent job of removing the stems from each berry. While I can't speak for the picking experience, they expect to be open through August. You may want to go and pick your own.

This is an amazing, unusual venue that more people should know about!

I first attended the concert series a few years ago before the pandemic, then occasionally in the last couple years. Concerts are free but donations are encouraged. Some refreshments are sold, but bring a picnic and eat before or during the concert. Last night we went on a "moonlit hike." I heard this was the first one held. It was a 1/4 mile walk through the woods to the river. I'm very glad we went, but would advise anyone going: wear appropriate footwear for winter! Crampons, snow shoes, walking poles and the like would be good advice. The trails were fairly icy because that's the weather we've had this year. Get into the group closest to the leader so you can hear the speaker, or maybe they will have a tour guide near the end so that group can hear, as well. There is a lot of fascinating history here! The original home was heated snd the Information shared inside was amazing: observing the living conditions of these early settlers... did you know the second leading cause of death for women(after childbirth was long skirts catching on FIRE?! Definitely a worthwhile tour. Afterwards, go have delicious pub food down at the River Road House, where there is more history to be learned.

Potting Soil A staff worker packed my car with plants and four bags of potting soil. There was a bee on a Marigold flower, and I asked him to get it to fly away. He did. The large Greenhouses were stocked with blooming healthy annuals and perennials. It was a sea of beautiful floral colors. One of the three Greenhouses had vegetable plants and herbs. They did not have Italian Flat Leaf Parsley, so I will look for it elsewhere. Checkout was organized and efficient. There were three checkout stations!

Sidenote: be careful of driving to come here as you will meet a lot of Amish horse drawn carriage ( encountered 8 of them) as I was driving to come here. Also, bring sunscreen and a hat .
