Got a couple of locally made bottles of maple syrup, and maple sugar candies and maple-coated pecans. There was also fresh beef (looked fantastic), fresh eggs, and local gift items. The fellow said once the gardens start producing, they will have fresh produce. If you are in the area of the Speedway at Loudon, it's worth the 10 minute drive. The view alone is breath-taking. Top notch!

The tour was fun and informative, and we got to check out the machines and how they tap the trees. The nuts were very, very tasty (we only left the shack an hour ago and polished off both the pecans and cashews already!) and I look forward to going back next weekend to see those machines in operation! (As well as pick up some more maple treats!)

In the fall, I try to stop in weekly and pick up a couple gallons of cider and bag of apple- we go through a couple gallons of cider a week. It's THAT amazing. The family that runs the place is wonderful- they always remember us and have gone above and beyond for me a few times when I was running late and wasn't able to make it to their store before closing. My kids love the large open play area- safe, lots of toys, swings, cars to drive and sandboxes with a gazebo for parents. They have a tower to climb with a beautiful view to look for birds and wildlife. They also have a large selection of pumpkins that are reasonably priced. It's a just a great place to come for half the day and hang out with my kids. A true gem in Concord run by a wonderful family, This place is so unique and special to me. I will be coming her for the rest of my life.

They have a wide variety of specialty donuts. Super delicious! I think the flavors rotate pretty frequently, but when we went it was a lot of fall flavors like pumpkin, maple, and apple. There wasn't a donut not to like, these are really good. Also very reasonably priced at $21 for a dozen! They open early and sell out of flavors quickly. At 8:00 many trays were already empty, so get there early!

Located right in the middle of Contoocook, the market was bustling with all types of local vendors. I spied flowers, in season veg and fruits, berries, local and organic meats (frozen), pies, cookies, jellies, jams, maple syrple, and also some local hippies playing drums and other cool African beats. Kids, ducks, dogs, (Jackie was there too!), families, and pagans, were all there enjoying the sunny hot morning and getting their supplies for the week. I hope to be back soon!!

What an absolutely delightful place!…read more Ambiance: Adorable. Farm store is well-stocked with fresh veggies and tons of tasty treats and tchotchkes. The outdoor areas have some seating right against the store and tons more in the beer garden area. Greenhouses. A whole kid play area with toys, sandboxes, swings. And live farm animals to visit and observe (cow, goats, geese, etc.) Super cute, lots to see, and fabulous for families. Service: Friendly and warm. Pretty sure it was the owner who took our orders in the cafe window. He was so sweet and struck up a conversation with us about whether we were visiting, local, etc. He noticed our baby and told us about their family nights with campfires and live music and kid games. The woman at checkout was also super nice when I bought a few store items. Food: GUYS. Simple but sooooo fresh and wonderful. We all loved it, even my picky MIL. We got coffee and breakfast sandwiches / wraps. It was a bit of a wait but we were happy to sit outside and chat and even happier when the food turned out to be so yummy. The bagels were soft inside but crispy outside (they grill them, not just toast. But not greasy!!) Eggs are local. Veggies are fresh. All made with care.

There were tables in the front to enjoy your sweets. The employees were friendly. We enjoyed seeing all types of sweets to choose from. I had the chocolate covered twinkie which was so good.

The prices are steep and although we intended to pick up a few things I just couldn't justify the cost in my head. We've definitely been to chocolate shops before and purchased both their gift boxed items and confections by the pound but I just couldn't convince myself to splurge this time. In any event, they have a large selection. I didn't see the list of ice cream flavors they had on offer but that area was manned and there are some tables in there to enjoy on site. Parking is on street about a block away that you pre-pay for at the kiosk and leave the receipt on your dash board. The entrance is up a few steps.
