They are friendly warm hearted people that really care about what they, their products and people. I am hoping to have an event there one day as the smell of lavender will uplift and give you tranquility. The mountain views are beautiful and cows next door are adorable. Only sad thing is they close September so only few weeks left to go. Also, buy some of their lavender products at Troys Farmers Market and start to live in bliss

This review is based on my first visit for u-pick berries. I went for their red currants and blue…read moreberries. VT is the only place I found fresh currants so I was ecstatic to find a certified organic farm that grew them and were in season! +++ LRF is a family owned fabulous 200+ acres working farm in Monkton! Of that 90 acres is CERTIFIED ORGANIC, which has stringent requirements. I think it takes about 3 years and is an expensive process for farmers. They offer pick your own (PYO) berries (strawberries, currants, raspberries and blueberries), retail online and on-site for garlic, onions, tomatoes and other produce, pasture raised hen eggs and scratch made jams and CSA. They also sell hay to local farmers. Around here, customers, CSA included, come to farms to pick what they want. I called ahead and met Eugenia(sp?) upon arrival. She was friendly and showed me how and where to pick both red and black currants. Blue berries were not open to the public yet but she kindly let me pick a quart;-)). Their berries are high quality and after picking 3 quarts of berries, I decided I had an ample quantity....berry picking was addictive - LoL! + Price was reasonable. I paid $20 for 3 quarts of organic berries! TLR accepts cash, check and Venmo. + Parking if free ++ Eugenia was very kind and helpful! They are open May - October for PYO but CALL ahead and listen to their recording as their hours depend on weather changes and each crop ripeness. I left a voice message and Eugenia called me back after 90 minutes. Get some fresh air and enjoy getting farm fresh organic food!

I was fortunate enough to find this farm via the state's list of pick-your-own farms. They are a…read morefully organic farm, which is no small feat. Strawberries are the number one produce that is on the EWG's annual dirty dozen list, full of so many pesticides, that there's no way I want to buy non-organic strawberries (pesticides used for organic use are much safer). The farm has an excellent and safe procedures plan in place for COVID-19. You make a reservation in advance on the date you want, giving you two hours to pick as much as you need. They provide the cartons, which cannot be reused by anyone else due to safety measures. You will pay them via Venmo or credit card-no cash exchanges hands. So we decided on a sunny afternoon and donning our masks, headed out to the fields after we'd washed our hands in the outdoor sink, per their policy (excellent). One bonus to having a reservation, is fewer people picking at a time. We had several rows to ourselves and the owner Silas took the netting off of some patches for us and said we were welcome to move more, if we needed to. 70 minutes later, laden down with over 15 pounds of delicious strawberries of different varieties, paid the bill and headed home. These berries are amazing. I made: -strawberry lemon marmalade; -low sugar strawberry jam; -strawberry vinegar (and took the strawberries once the vinegar was fully infused and sweetened to make pie filling; -strawberry red wine jam and still have 4 cups to do with as I please! (still deciding) I'll definitely come here again; this is a wonderful farm in a gorgeous part of Vermont (couldn't all of VT though described as such)?

Greenhouses are plentiful here and you can pick up some potted flowers for your home garden, as well as your own herbs and veggies! You can also pick up some good old groceries here, like meat or dairy products (fresh eggs and milk anyone?). If you're anything like me and my group of friends, we like to be photographed anywhere and everywhere so the flower greenhouse was the spot to be in. Call us obnoxious, because we are actually so obnoxious, but we also appreciate the beauty of local farms! The Vermont way of life values buying local goods and honestly, I don't mind living this small town lifestyle for a bit. Not forever though, as I'm a city boy through and through.
