I went on a field trip today with my daughter's class . I would never recommend this place , the…read morestaff was very rude to another class that we were with who had special needs , the teacher tried her best to keep them engaged but it was difficult as the staff had attitudes with the young students when they didn't know the answer to what they were asking. We watched the sheep get razed and there was another sheep there who was making noises and the young students were copying the nosies that the sheep were making and the staff kept yelling at them. They are young students who weren't being loud they were enjoying the time... the staff should be more patience's with students. We paid to go there to look at animals and a wool class. Over priced.

Friendly, happy, sweating (how do they do it?!?') food truck operators offering their bites and treats on a HOT summer night! It's outdoors, with plenty of shade, and hopefully(!) a breeze! I say give it a try!

One of my favorite farms in the Boston area. I had family in the neighborhood and that's how I…read morediscovered this gem that has been my go-to farm for over 8 years. They recently renovated, upgrading the charming farm stand to a full on rustic market. Fresh veggies, coffee station, frozen goods, jams, chocolate goodies and more. I usually come for the little walk around the farm to see what's growing, the u-pick flower garden, to swing on the swing set, and to see if any farm animals are around. There's a parking lot and picnic tables scattered around. Pricing is reasonable, u-pick is about $15, they used to charge by flower stem. They also host events and have activities for kids. Honestly, Weston is more of a suburb so it's a nice surprise for people when I tell them that there is actually more to see than large homes!

I love this Farmers market.

The shopkeepers and customers are friendly and casual. Live music in the background from local bands.. pottery, jewelry and food stalls. Ashland worked very hard to make this excellent market and they make it even better every year. Highly recommend.

The only pro I can find here is that this is a winter farmers market, which there should be more…read moreof. The actual thing though was a real let down. I went to the last Saturday of the winter market season (March 27th). The "market" was in the auditorium of the Johnson Elementary School. It was literally the size of my living room and had about 8 tables total. There was only one table with actual produce (and I could only see potatoes and tomatoes on the table). One bread vendor, one tea vendor, one fish vendor, one cheese vendor, one egg vendor, and one chicken vendor. The tables were sparse - most of the vendors opting to keep their wares in coolers so it was hard to tell exactly what was being sold. The space was so small, and there were so few people in there, that it was kind of awkward to even go in. I dunno, I appreciate the effort and love this idea but this one missed the mark. Get yourself to the Wayland Winter Farmers Market instead.

The worst experience I ever had on the farm, My daughter an U went to Sunshine to pick…read morestrawberries. We always go to Tougas farm but I did not have time to drive there. At the farm store, we told the employee that we wanted to pick 4 quarts of strawberries for $40. On the board, it said 2 quarts $25, 4 quarts $40. But I asked for 2 boxes. The Woman told me that I have to buy only 1 box, can not be split. I paid $40 and walked to the field, about 15 minutes. When we got to the field, the employee informed me that 2 people can not pick strawberries to 1 box that we need to buy additional box to enter the field. They did not have any boxes to purchase there. I had to walk back to the front store, buy another box and walk back to the field. I am sorry, but that almost an hour of my time wasted. Plus aggravation of poor customer service. When I got to the store and asked for a refund, because I did not pick any strawberries, i was pointed to the board, where is said no refund. I was handled in the most rude way, wasting $40 of my hard earned money. Sunshine farm provides very poor customer service and lacking human factor. I will never go there again. I will be driving extra 30 minutes to Tougas farm, where employees are always happy to see you, care about customers and their business. It offers so much more!

I recently visited Belkin Family Lookout Farm, and overall it was a pleasant experience ,…read moreespecially with a group of students. Here's a breakdown: What worked well / strengths The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The grounds and orchards were well maintained and offered enjoyable scenery and walking paths.The cider donuts are outstanding. There are plenty of activities in the orchards, which my students enjoyed. What could improve... The food offerings were not ideal. The quality felt closer to a school lunch standard, but with a price tag higher than expected. As for the cider itself, I'm not a huge fan of it generally, so I can't strongly endorse that part of the menu. Prices for picking or admission can feel steep even for a group rate. Belkin / Lookout Farm is a lovely destination with lots of charm, especially for seasonal visits and orchard-based activities. If you're going primarily for the cider or food, temper expectations. But if your goal is to have students enjoy the orchard, fall vibes, fresh donuts, and outdoor experience, it delivers well.

I haven't been back in a long time and went on a weekday and boy was it different since kids are back in school. It was relatively quiet but still happy they were open and no lines or crowds. You no longer pay by weight. You pay per person at $37/adult and they give you a tiny bag to fill up with apples, pears, peaches and other fruits they have. If you want to purchase another bag it is $15! Parking is complimentary and there is no train, we had to walk! Not sure if that is just because it is a weekday and not a weekend. We did get some Asian pears, peaches, nectarines and apples. At the end we bought Apple cider and donuts at the market.
