Strawberry Hollow Farm is a farm and craft shop that opened in Guilford, Connecticut in 1969. It…read morewas founded by Harvey Smith. Initially the farm's main crop was strawberries, and thus the farm was named Strawberry Hollow Farm for their main crop and for the hollow that it sits in. Harvey's government work as a research wildlife biologist took him out of the country and away from his farm in June, the most important month for strawberries. By 1981, Harvey transitioned from growing strawberries to growing members of the pumpkin family, because the growing schedule for pumpkins matched his work schedule. When he retired in 2001, Harvey realized his dream to farm his land full time. In addition to farming crops, Strawberry Hollow Farm also has a small gift shop where they sell various crafts. My family and I recently visited Strawberry Hollow Farm for the first time. There are so many different varieties of pumpkins and other various gourds on display, and their mums were just breathtaking. My wife and I dressed our son like Linus from "Peanuts". There were several spots on the farm for us to stage a "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" photo shoot. In addition to jack-o-lantern pumpkins and sugar pumpkins, Harvey cultivates giant pumpkins that can weigh up to 300 pounds (the kind that you see at a County Fair). The craft shop was really cool too; lots of Autumn and Halloween decorations. In the winter months, everything is themed around Christmas decorations. We purchased a couple of sugar pumpkins to take with us. We enjoyed our time at Strawberry Hollow Farm and we plan on returning in the future.

This place was packed on a Sunday afternoon. I was a little worried about parking but the lot was…read morebigger than it looked and there was plenty of space. They had a corn maze, pumpkins, apple orchards, and a variety of animals! I didn't do the corn maze but I enjoyed seeing the goats, pig, chickens, turkey, and even a yak. They had no issues with you feeding the animals and sold some food for a quarter. I was initially disappointed that all the apples were gone because the trees in the front were completely bare but once we got a bag and saw the map, I saw that the land was quite spacious with every variety of apple you could think of. The front rows had been picked clean but there were plenty to choose from in the back. They charged by the pound. For a few apples, we paid about $6. They had a ton of apple pies and some flavors I had never heard of before like apple caramel walnut. Had such a good time.

Stopped here today with my son just to grab one or two plants for our garden…read more The only shopping carts that I saw were the flat bed wagon types for plants so luckily I had the stroller. This place isn't exactly stroller friendly. There were some aisles of plants and the sort that we just had to forget about because they were certainly not wide enough for us to go down. The veggies and herbs were on the outskirts of the place, many flats just on the ground. I decided on a red cherry tomato plant and a 6pk of cauliflower. I noticed a few people at the check out, but again, the area wasn't very wide so we had to go the long way to get into the back of the line. Finally, it's our turn to be rung up. The total comes to $5.18 (which I was pretty psyched about). I go to hand my card and I'm told that they can't run it, there's a $10 minimum. I had $3.75 in my wallet. Beyond annoyed. So now I either leave the plants or go back to get more. We trek the long way back over to the herbs and veggies to grab another of the same tomato plant and a 6 pk of scallions. Now it all came to $10.38 or something like that. The cashier loaded all 4 plants into a plastic planter tray. I wheeled the stroller with one hand and held the plants in the other. The prices are comparable with other local garden centers, but not sure if I'll be back.

It's outside and has that real old fashion farm stand feel. The produce is fresh, delicious, and of good quality. Areas to Work on: Parking is small, it takes some maneuvering to get in especially if it's busy. The prices for some of their produce is outrageous. Figs were $7 for about 6 of them, for instance. There is a woman who works there, I don't know if she's the manager/owner but she is rude and doesn't wear a mask. There's a farm stand down the street that has a smaller selection of produce, but a cheaper price. It depends on what you like.

Such a great local farm. This Summer, I signed up for the…read moreCSA program. Each Monday afternoon, for 18 weeks or so, I went to pick up my 1/3 share of fruits and veggies. Pick up was super convenient, I was in and out each time in 5 minutes or less. It was so nice to be surprised by the weekly offerings. For the price, I think it factored out to costing about $11 each week and what I received was valued far beyond that. I even got some items I typically wouldn't normally buy, such as beets, swiss chard, cabbage, etc. It was a wonderful opportunity to try out new recipes with these too! The 1/3 share was so much for our family of 4 that we couldn't even keep up with the amount eating it each week. I ended up freezing tons of the fresh corn and squash to use later this fall for chili and crock pot soups. I would totally recommend signing up if you can!

You can read my review of Bubba's Brunch food truck in my review section because the food was delicious. Hindinger Farm sells fresh vegetables, fruits, jams, and other items for children, and it has a beautiful backdrop. One side of the farm overlooks the other side of the farm and the other side of the farmi overlooks this beautiful backdrop of nature on the farm. Hindubger Farms puts on live shows, and you can go shopping. There is also a playground for the kids to play. The playground is fenced in with a picnic area so parents can enjoy their food without worrying about their children's safety. You can always check their website for events, shopping, and find out which food truck will be at the farm that day. The customer service was great, and I will definitely be back.

Of all the sites we visited, this was the stand out. The fruits and vegetables are incredible... literally picture-perfect and bursting with flavor. In addition, the stand has lots of homemade products like mango salsa, horseradish mustard, and the like. These specialty items are delicious! Oh, and don't forget to pick up some of their homemade preserves. My husband and I practically overdosed on peach preserves! There is a beautiful outdoor area where kids can play, which also makes the stand a nice destination for families. Last but not least, the staff that works here is so friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them.

I'd never visited for any other reason until the year we decided to buy a fake Christmas tree and it was a total failure. Our semi-feral kitten thought it was "home" and over the course of a week had bent all the branches down. She'd done a pretty good job of it and the tree was in pretty sad shape. In my aggravation, I shoved it back in the box and ran across the street to Beaumont farm to see if they had anything last minute. They were so friendly, helped us find the perfect tree in no time, tied it to our car and gave us a discount on both the tree and a wreath. They basically saved Christmas lol
