I decided to take a short drive towards Bolton to see the fall colors and visit this farmstand…read morebefore they close for the season (reopening next summer). As they are famous for their peaches and apples at the local farmer's market, I really wanted to see the orchard itself as well as have an in-depth chat with one of the owners, Alan, who I got to know when purchasing their amazing produce. They have a really cute farm stand with lots of pumpkins and apples around this time of the year. You also have the option on going apple picking in the orchard and see how the different apples are grown. Alan, who usually doesn't take people on a tour around the orchard, showed me around and explained all their operations throughout the year. It was really eye opening to the farming industry around this region (compared to California where it never stops). Picked up some apples and cider, enjoyed the fall colors before driving through the back route where you can see the Boston skyline from quite a distance. Definitely recommend the non-touristy experience here.

There is no fancy donuts or anything like that here, just apple picking with some tables around the property to stop for a water break or maybe a snack.

This was my 3rd visit this year to the Westside location of Worcester's Farmer's Market. Pretty…read moresmall by anyone's standards, there are about 7-8 vendors who regularly set up on a consistent level. If you are looking for fresh picked LOCAL produce, this is the place to come. Things get going the 1st week in July, and by the end of the month things are rolling. New this year are orchard wines from Hardwick Winery. One of the vendors starts growing tomato plants right after the Superbowl in January to give them a head start for the market.......Best vine-ripened tomatoes anywhere! The hours are 9:30AM to 2PM M-W-F, and the market runs from the end of June to the end of October every year...............

So I'm big on supporting local business, been here a few times, once for a meet a cow event, and…read morethis past week bc their social media posted about the eggnog. I go there middle of the day not a lot going on, as other posts have noted the lady working the counter was cold and not very welcoming, no hello or how are you when I walked in. I politely said hi as she picked up the phone, no response even after she hung up from her phone call. I inquired about if they were organic bc there is a sign that says hormone free etc, she just blandly said no bc they give their cows grain, and that was the end of that. They have good products but it's hard to support local farms when the people working there seem to not give a shit about the people walking in the door. Number one rule of sales: sell the company, sell yourself, sell the product. She didn't do any of these things. The eggnog is pretty good, really thick, I like it. But they could work on their enthusiasm for their customers, and customer service hell even a smile would have been nice.

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.

We were surprised to see that large containers of strawberries were $1 and blueberries were $1. We also ended up getting a box of 9 mangos for $5. I couldn't believe the prices and people haggling for more discounts. It was a fun experience.

Hay market is the best deal in Boston. I wish I started going sooner…read more I spend so much less on groceries now and try to exclusively buy my produce at Haymarket. Is the produce super fresh? Not necessarily. But it is still 1000% worth it. I just want someone to share in my enthusiasm about what a good deal it is. I make green juice in the morning. When I shop at Star market my juice would cost up to $5 per day. From haymarket it is like a dollar a day. And who cares if I'm not using the most pristine vegetables. It's gonna get obliterated in my blender and I'm none the wiser.

Everyone was kind and friendly the person waiting on me at the front desk Tessa she was awesome. Very helpful and kind. I had lots of questions. She had no problem giving the answers. Then we did buy a few things at the front. They also offer each week a month a cabinet like you packed type thing today's had like some cheese sticks in it. It had a dip that had a quart of yogurt has some slicing cheese on burgers. It had the kind of crackers it had a cream cheese. It had about seven different items in the bag for $25. I really felt that was a very good value Because it's directly from the farmer. They had a lot of good deals today. They are fresh local meats and cheeses pies from humble pie company and waffle. They also had ice cream from like five different companies. This was a lot of fun so glad I bought the ticket. It was only $10 and well worth the price. My intentions had to take my grandkids up here so they can see the cows and stuff and they can get ice cream a different day.

At first I was a little frazzled when I realized you need to order on the website and then come down and pick it up. This was no problem. I called back from the parking lot, placed my order, and they brought it out and put it in my car. I'm sure if it was a busy time this may have taken longer. Bottom line: they are doing this the right way. I had no physical contact with anyone so all i needed to do was wash the groceries when I got home, which I do anyway! Great service. Decent selection for a country store. Friendly and helpful staff. Much safer than going to the grocery store for us and for them. I highly recommend this business.
