    I am new to the CT area and have tried several of the grocery stores locally. I am familiar with…read moreStop & Shop, BJ's & Costco). But I *really* like the Big Y chain particularly the one in Groton & Old Lyme. Their deli is particularly good especially the pizzas & the Stromboli's. They use fresh home made dough & ingredients & the pizzas are made to order. I just ordered a pizza (the conveyor belt oven had been turned off for the evening so I wasn't able to order a Stromboli (which are EXCELLENT, and quite generous for $3.99!) I ordered a ham, spinach & mushroom & it was DELICIOUS. Their pizza sauce is fantastic: a yummy mix of tangy & sweet red tomato sauce. I have purchased mini desserts in the bakery & they were all fabulous. (Cannolis & the Lobster tails). The woman in the deli making pizzas & Stromboli's is very pleasant, accommodating, efficient & kind. She also makes great pizzas & strombolis. I ordered a few grinders from here at different times & they were all delicious. They have a large selection of bread, proteins, veggies & condiments which is great. The prices in the store are okay/not bad. (I found the East Lyme SNShop to be on the pricier side). The selection is very good here too. I purchased a small wheatberry & spinach side salad here tonight too that looked fantastic. (They also have prepared quinoa bowls also which looked great!). The produce section is also solidly good. I bought tangelos, blood oranges & lemons tonight & they were all good quality. I DEFINITELY recommend this grocery store. I have been here a dozen times over the past 6 months. I am interested in the sushi also... but grocery sushi can be dicey so I will likely only order when I see the sushi chef in the deli). Will update more as I try different selections! DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

    About 3-4 years ago I was banned from the old Lyme CT Big Y store accused of stealing 15 items when…read moreI paid $354 for groceries. The night in question, they let me walk out, a week later I went through a cashier..they didn't say anything. It was 2 weeks later when my mom was going to help me get groceries. As I was shopping, Donavon was following me around each aisle I went in. Then he confronted me accusing me of stealing which I called him an "asshole" because he was being one. That's when he decided to call the cops. 1 officer showed up and didn't go into store and was NOT shown any video of me "stealing" He didn't want me arrested, but wanted me to have a lifetime banned from going into that specific Big Y. I find it ironic that I'm getting accused of stealing 15 items, but you don't want me arrested. I've been in the process of talking to a lawyer. If they didn't want me to use the u-scan, they could have said that to me and I would have no problem going through a cashier. And if I found out one more time that Heather is slandering my name through other big y stores I will def file a defamation of character lawsuit

    If I could give WGF another half star, I would. The produce is beautiful and perfect and…read moredelicious. But oh, the prices! As far as I know, it is not certified organic, but the prices are higher than organic at stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. A very small cabbage was over $4. A bunch of radishes was $5.50. A 10-oz tomato was $3.99. The prepared foods are equally pricy, and vary widely in quality. A small tub of their "schmear", a mix of dairy and scallions that I add to potato salad dressing (it works well) is $8.50. A very small (for 2) peach galette was $8.95, but delicious and perfectly baked. A berry scone ($4.50) was a heavy lump of underbaked dough, a huge difference from the light, flaky, golden scones I get from Dagmar's in Old Saybrook. A ginger-pecan scone was better. A raspberry thumbprint "cookie" fell into pieces when I placed it in my pastry box ($4.95) -- it tasted good, but the texture was more like a lump of cold oatmeal. A single slice of house pizza ($7) made me sad -- the concept was good, but the broccoli was burnt and chewy. Most of their baked goods are too heavy and underbaked. The staff is friendly, warm, and welcoming, as well they ought to be. The parking is hideous -- cramped and inadequate, with no handicapped that I could see. The actual farmstand building is small, hot, and crowded at peak times. To sum up: I think most people assume the produce is organic, but there are no signs to that effect. The refrigerated prepared foods are generally tasty. The baked goods are a crapshoot, and at the prices, it's not worth the risk of their not being worth the money.

    We have visited this farm for organic produce previously and were very happy with the quality and…read moreselection. Recently we attended a flower arranging class and had a wonderful time. We were able to cut our own flowers fresh and they also had some already cut for us. They described options for greenery, how to cut certain flowers and just let us loose to pick and start arranging. We also had delicious morning glory muffins and coffee while we worked. We appreciated that assistance was available as needed but the class was not too instructional. Overall it was a really fun experience. Hopefully I'll be in town at a time we can take advantage of a farm dinner. Loved learning about the many options for outings at this beautiful farm for activities and appreciated they have opened up the property for activities.
