We have been a part of a number of local CSA farms, and Heron Pond Farm fits our needs the best! It is like going to the store and getting what you need - except that all of it is grown right there on the farm! When you walk in, there are many choices to pick from - all of it fresh! That way I can pick what I need for that week and not get food that I won't use. The vegetables are always clean, fresh, and ready to use. There are add-on shares for meat and eggs that have been really helpful too. The staff are always very pleasant and helpful. This is a great way to feed you and your family and support a local farmer as well! read more

Worthy of 5 stars if you were going to make a point of stopping by every week. They are a small shop so you don't necessarily get all that you might want. But they have great quality. I think their logo was so well designed that I bought a T-shirt and a bag. Both have held up well. The bag gets used for everything and I love knowing that it is from there. I think they deserve a special mention for accepting SNAP/EBT cards. I don't think they do it every day and all day but call to check. I just really appreciate that tax dollars go towards a local business instead of half ripe crap that is sitting at the big chain grocery store. Local is always my first choice!! read more

Heron Pond Farm is incredible. First off, if you care about your family and what you feed your kids than it's a no brainer to come here. This farm offers a huge selection of either their own grown or local grown fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, CHOCOLATE, bread, coffee and quite a few other items! But the MOST important part is that Heron Pond Farm DOES NOT USE PESTICIDES. ZERO SPRAYING. ZERO CHEMICALS. (You cannot find this anywhere else, other local farms spray and use pesticides) Aside from having a huge selection of groceries offered they also have csa programs, they even offer a winter csa and it's great! The amount of food you get weekly is plenty (since starting our csa program we no longer go to the grocery store)! read more

Love this place. It's small but has a lot of heart ... great produce and very friendly staff. I live in Newburyport and Tendercrop is closer but I much prefer the vibe at Heron. read more

Heron Pond Farm has a farmstand near the NH/MA border, a CSA with summer and winter shares, and a booth at the Portsmouth Farmer's Market. We're members of the CSA this year, and enjoying it greatly. The share is almost manageable for two people (we give away a little bit, but manage to use most). The pick up is convenient, and there are also opportunities to visit the farm and pick berries, plus a discount at the Farmer's Market booth if you can't get enough. Andre is friendly and wants to keep members informed and excited about the farm. And the veggies are excellent! read more

This is my 3rd year doing CSA but first time here. We were debating between this one and cider hill farm. Unfortunately for me, I get the emails from both and have been disappointed with the variety and size of the weekly share. I know the first few weeks Aren't always the best but cider hill was compensating with jam, Apple cider and eggs. Last week I was told that if I didn't want something I was getting I could swap for something in the same price range which seems reasonable considering you pay $550 up front months in advance. This week when I went to swap because they had corn but not for the CSA they told me no. Shouldn't the people who pay the money for it get the best choice in food? Not that I feel like they should accommodate everything but if it is the first week of corn I think we deserve to get some in the csa rather than having to buy. Next year we will go to cider hill. I'm disappointed!! I had high hopes. read more

Went in here on a Friday evening when I had guests for the weekend. The prices were about what I expect for this type of place but the inventory was a little sparse and nothing terribly exciting. I bought a few ears of corn, some sourdough bread and some bacon. The corn was completely inedible. We threw it all out. The sourdough was stale and tasteless, especially disappointing for $5/loaf. The bacon was good but extremely salty, much saltier than any bacon should ever be. Can't say I'll be back. Too bad. It's right on my way home from work but I'll drive down Portsmouth Avenue to On The Vine. read more

Love Heron Pond Farm. Great people, the CSA has more food than we could possibly use in a week. We feel good knowing we are helping support a local small farmer! read more

Still a nice little road side stand with fresh vegetables, dairy and bakery items without the often accompanied glitzy overpriced peripheral non-produce fare. They also always have nice presentation at the Newburyport Farmers market read more

Randomly ended up at this fabulous little farm stand called Heron Pond Farm today - a welcome escape from the industrialized food supply in Sarasota Florida, where I live. They had milk in glass bottles from a nearby dairy, and fresh vegetables (interesting, unique, hard-to-find varities) grown literally in the fields behind the farm stand/store. I purchased some carrots, milk, and kale. All were first-rate. A small, community-based farm like this one is an irreplaceable resource. The prices for the vegetables were actually lower than the Star Market a few miles away. I've been to farm stands all over, and this is the best one I've visited by far in terms of food quality, variety, and friendliness of staff. read more

This is a review for the crappy customer service,not the actual product since I wasn't allowed to touch it, literally. I am on their email list and noticed an email yesterday about stopping in for first of the season strawberries, so I decided to do so today. Also, there was a very large chalkboard sign out front saying "STOP IN FOR STRAWBERRIES." I noticed there was only one pint left, so I reached to get it and was rudely told by the employee inside who yelled through the window, "YOU CAN'T TOUCH THEM, THEY ARE ALREADY SOLD!" It is not like there was a Reserved sign on them or anything and it isn't as if my hands were dirty or I was handling rare Sevres porcelain pieces. Maybe it is because I had picked up a hothouse tomato on the shelf underneath the last strawberries first, noted it was hard as a rock---a lot worse quality than anything available at the local Market Basket or Shaw's for what I would bet is at least twice if not three times the price. Anyhow, I won't be back and I will also unsubscribe from their email lists that verge on false advertising--if you want to just sell to certain customers, then stop trying to solicit any one else's business via emails and signs in front of your stand. read more

This place is all kinds of wonderful. The bagged greens are so very fresh and delicious. Because they are the real deal they are subject to the whims of nature and it's not like shopping at Stop and Shop so you may not find exactly what you are looking for but you'll always find something delicious. Carrots my friends, get carrots here and you'll be dazzled. read more
