Went with my family yesterday to pick pumpkins. This is one of the few places in our area that…read moreactually lets you go out into their fields and pick a pumpking. It's not like those places that say you can pick a pumpking, but have them already picked and lined up or in a pile. The scenery was gorgeous as well--trees had great color. We enjoyed a fresh cider donut and sat for a while. The person in the little store (possibly the owner?) told us they were doing a special on the pumpkins so we got two free. Incredible deal!

Albert Stoddard, aka Farmer Al, is a quirky guy. Personally,…read moreI don't love his kind of quirk, but I endure it to get at his food. He is a little sarcastic, and slightly condescending. Yet, he does seem to have the magic touch for growing some things. And some things is what he grows. Tomatoes, yes. Blueberries, yes. Squashes, some. And some other stuff. You can never be too sure what he's going to have, whatever he has is top of the line, and you might have to fight with him a little bit before he lets you take it home.

His manager came out and told me that the corn on the cob, the zucchini, and the pickling cucumbers were grown locally. I bought two of reach to take on my flight back to Florida. Usually I get a box of Italian pastry to bring home but this was even better. I was going to pickle the cukes, but after trying a slice, they were too good to pickle. I had one sliced with organic ranch dressing from Whole Foods. I boiled the fresh corn to go along with barbecue chicken and sautéed and zucchini with butter, garlic and usual seasoning. This stand is the same as I remember it as a child. It's clean and organized. They have the plenty of staff to keep the selection of fruits and vegetables fresh. I will be back soon.

I came to S&S Farm with a simple goal: get a pumpkin. What I didn't expect was a full-on autumnal…read morespiritual journey. First, there's the corn maze. It's not just a maze; it's a test of will and a challenge to your sense of direction. I'm pretty sure I saw a family celebrating their one-year maze-iversary in there. I emerged an hour later, a different man, covered in bits of corn stalk and existential dread. And the pumpkins? They're magnificent. I didn't just pick one; I was chosen. We locked eyes across the field, a giant, warty gourd and I. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated connection. I paid the very reasonable price and felt a sense of pride that I haven't experienced since I successfully parallel parked on the first try. In conclusion, S&S Farm is more than just a farm stand. It's a hilarious, humbling, and slightly muddy adventure. 10/10, would get lost in a corn maze again.

If you love beautiful fruits and veggies this is an amazing place. I only wish staff were nicer…read more I consistently leave there with beautiful crops but feel like I bother the staff. In particular there is a woman who was so crappy this morning and every time she is there. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I know they can have shitty things going on in their lives, but really, every time! This morning I got "You have to take the things out of your basket". OK, but you could say,please. So I pull the basket back to my side, take my 10 things out and then she picks them up to weigh them? Didn't save her any energy. Finally she says " Have a nice day" with so much attitude it makes you cringe. Find something you like to do lady. Might have to find somewhere else that has decent veggies. So 5 for beautiful produce, 0 for customer service.

Most underwhelming experience I've had at an apple orchard. I came here on a weekend in early…read moreNovember because they were offering half-price apple picking. I got a small bag for $12.50 which was a great deal. I had no problem with parking. I got a good amount of apples, although I wish the signs for the types of apples were clearer. The main reason my rating isn't higher is due to the policing near the exit. I've been through security at concert venues that were less scrutinizing. When I was leaving, an employee was near the entrance was inspecting the wagon of a family with multiple bags. I didn't hear the entire conversation but I did hear the employee lecturing them about not overfilling the bags. The employee also said to not reuse the bags (something that could be prevented if they wrote the dates on the bags as other orchards do) and understandably the family said they wouldn't come back. Even though I wasn't the target of the apple police, it created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The best part of my visit was the cider donuts. The farm store was disappointingly small with mainly apples and cider available for purchase. Considering the plethora of options for apple picking in MA, I don't plan to return here.

Lovely experience Apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards this last week…read more Service was great all around despite over an hour wait for the cider donuts (which were most definitely worth the wait). Apples were extremely tasty with great variety and plenty of ladders for picking. My only fret was that the signage at times was not the most clear. And the best part: the ambiance of it all. Perfect cool day in Mass with all the Fall colors and families having a great time... it was such a positive atmosphere. Would totally go again.

Although it is more expensive than you will find at your local market basket at least I can actually use 100% of the items, they aren't half wilted and rotten like the junk you get in a "regular" grocery store.

So worth the trip and a little extra cost for high quality. A high quality small shop.

We supported a different farm for our bulk grass-fed beef for many years but decided to switch to…read moreKalon Farms last summer because they were closer to us and because the other farm, while having fantastic quality meat, weren't the best at butchering. We tried Kalon beef a number of times by buying from their storefront but finally decided to buy half a cow. It took a couple months to finish off the previous cow we'd purchased before getting to the Kalon cow but immediately knew something was wrong as soon as we tried our first steak. There was a subtle "off" taste to it. Over the next month or so, we tried multiple different cuts and all the ones with any fat or marbling had the same issue. The leaner cuts were mostly okay. I reached out to Kalon using the form on their website. No reply. I reached out again via email. No reply. I was very clear that I wasn't expecting a refund or reimbursement of any kind because I knew it had been a few months. I just wanted to inform them and ask if anybody else had reported the same issue. Still nothing back from them. Eventually, a few months later, I remembered that I still hadn't heard anything back so I called and asked to speak to someone in charge. They were super sarcastic on the phone. It started with "Are you sure you bought from us? I don't even recognize your name." It progressed to "Many people complain about the taste because they don't know what real grass-fed beef tastes like; it's not like store-bought meat." It ended with "We had another complaint a few months ago but our owner took the beef home and ate it all and it was fine." I went there three days ago to drop off the over 240lbs of what remained. Around 80lbs of assorted steaks and cuts. Around 20-30lbs of roasts. Around 100lbs of mince. Around 30-40lbs of bones, tallow, organs, etc. I was very polite to the person at the desk (it's not her fault, after all), we were respectful of the space and brought everything back in cooler boxes and placed them neatly inside. I handed them a letter (pic attached) and included my phone number in case the owner wanted to call me back. Still zero response. There are a few other reviews online complaining about the same "off" taste but there's seemingly always some sort of excuse as to why it's the customer's fault or that the customer just doesn't understand what good beef tastes like. I also saw some posts about their farming practices, stating that their animals were feeding on what used to be dump grounds. I didn't see that for myself so I can't comment but it was worth noting that it's being said by more than just a few people. Personally, I've accepted the loss of, literally, thousands of dollars of meat. It would've just been the professional thing to reach out to me at least once to discuss the matter. Instead, I get complete radio silence. I included a pic of the email I'd sent and the letter I left. I also included a comparison pic of Kalon's mince to the mince from my previous farm. Theirs looks extremely pale and anemic in comparison. It also doesn't match what they sell in their storefront. I suspect their storefront gets meat from their healthy cows but bulk orders are not from the same batch but, obviously, that's purely speculation so take it for what it's worth. I have no evidence one way or another but the discrepancy in quality between bulk and storefront is visible/tastable.
