Once inside, it was more like a semi firearm, stand supermarket. Some items are grown on the farm some sourced from other farms and some just regular grocery items that you would find at any generic supermarket. The vegetables that were grown on this farm were all marked and were fabulous but they were very far and few between. they were selling some local farms goods which increased the options of locally grown. I did like the bread section some locally made in some generic.. they also have foods that are prepackaged. I like the items that were made at the farm. The others were just overpriced generic items. all in all I'd say about 40 to 50% is grown and produced, the rest are just basic generic grocery items with a higher price on them. The space is fabulous very refreshing and comfortable to walk around. the staff always seems nice, polite, and willing to answer questions. I definitely suggest that you stop in as it is a great place to shop. as for parking, they have a huge private parking lot and space outside to sit. They also have greenhouse plants for sale.

You feel treat as a real person in the community instead of an ordinary customer. I love that.

Here's a breakdown: What worked well / strengths The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The grounds and orchards were well maintained and offered enjoyable scenery and walking paths.The cider donuts are outstanding. There are plenty of activities in the orchards, which my students enjoyed. What could improve... The food offerings were not ideal. The quality felt closer to a school lunch standard, but with a price tag higher than expected. As for the cider itself, I'm not a huge fan of it generally, so I can't strongly endorse that part of the menu. Prices for picking or admission can feel steep even for a group rate. Belkin / Lookout Farm is a lovely destination with lots of charm, especially for seasonal visits and orchard-based activities. If you're going primarily for the cider or food, temper expectations. But if your goal is to have students enjoy the orchard, fall vibes, fresh donuts, and outdoor experience, it delivers well.

I haven't been back in a long time and went on a weekday and boy was it different since kids are back in school. It was relatively quiet but still happy they were open and no lines or crowds. You no longer pay by weight. You pay per person at $37/adult and they give you a tiny bag to fill up with apples, pears, peaches and other fruits they have. If you want to purchase another bag it is $15! Parking is complimentary and there is no train, we had to walk! Not sure if that is just because it is a weekday and not a weekend. We did get some Asian pears, peaches, nectarines and apples. At the end we bought Apple cider and donuts at the market.

You can order a deli sandwich to your liking and you can build your own salad at their bountiful salad bar. The salad bar is really nice and is more often than not my main reason for visiting the store. Here you can create your own unique salad with a good variety of salad makings including your basic lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers plus potato salads, fruits and a great variety of other salad toppings, vegetables and dressings. They have a good hot food bar too with various meat dishes, chicken and so forth plus pasta dishes, potatoes, vegetables and more. You'll also find some nice treats in their bakery area such as muffins and cookies. Their deli carries Boar's Head deli meats which is a very good meat company and their cheeses are excellent as well. If you're looking to buy groceries here they do carry quite a few of the essentials. They have a good sized produce area here as well for your fruits and veggies. It is a busy store but the cashiers keep the lines going at a pretty good clip. The atmosphere is nice and it's always a clean store which makes for a pleasant shopping experience. When I am passing through the area I always make it a point to stop by and see what they have to offer.

By far, a fabulous apple picking experience and an amazing orchard with much to do besides apple…read morepicking! There's a general store that has all sorts of delicious apple based and other products. There's a petting zoo. And perhaps best of all there's a kiosk at which you can buy delicious apple cider donuts that are homemade on the premises. They cannot be beat. There are also plenty of other types of fruit that you can pick at this orchard besides apples. For example, one can pick peaches, blueberries, and pears. We have been coming here for several years and haven't gotten around to partaking in this activity of picking other fruits than apples. There is also a big tent we can get homemade hard cider and listen to music from live musicians. There are hay rides and there's also a giant maze which your kids might love. Perhaps you will love it too. We highly recommend Honey Pot Orchards for a fun family day!

There is a wonderful variety of items to purchase with a healthy balance of produce and local goods. You can find seasonal vegetables, fruit, honey, bread, pastries, meats, seafood and gourmet spreads. Occasionally there is a vendor with unique goods like jewelry and cutting boards. There's even a knife sharpening station! As for the prices, I feel that they are completely in line with what you would pay for locally-grown produce. You can't expect to find the same prices on tomatoes as you would at Super Stop n' Shop, simply because it takes more energy and resources to grow locally and without chemical trickery. I don't know about you, but I'd rather pay a few more cents for a homegrown, grown-in-the-sun tomato than an overgrown tomato that tastes like a water balloon. Pet owners, make sure you bring someone to watch your dog while you shop. Because this is a place that sells food, bringing your pet near the tents is not permitted. (I wish there was a doggy drop-off area to help with this!)

There are usually toddlers dancing to the tunes. My suggestion would be to offer more ready-to-eat meals. I would like to be able to grab that day's lunch and bring it home to serve.
