They have so many amazing choices of different foods from local companies and businesses. Everything from soup and pies to marshmallows and chocolates. I got to try peach soup that they were making! It was so unique and delicious! They also had ice pops with so many delicious flavors!! The owner was so nice. I work with autistic children and the owner was telling me they have high schoolers with special needs come in for a few hours to learn how to cook. So amazing!! I can't wait to stop back !!

They have a big selection of spices and sauces, offering something for everyone, whether you like to keep it simple or try new flavors. They also feature local foods, including fresh seasonal produce from nearby farms. They offer small to-go meals, but we didn't try any on our visit. The guy working there noticed we were just passing through and kindly let us use their clean and comfortable facilities. We had a great time checking out all the different spices, crafts, and fun little items they had on display. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! Be sure to ask for a business card, or should I say envelope with a little gift inside.

They have everything from drinks to frozen food to a variety of snacks. They also offer a variety of rice and items to cook with. The owner is so sweet. She answered all the questions I had about the snacks. In the small world we live in I also found out that our older boys just graduated high school together! So funny! I got a variety of drinks and snacks. The chips are my favorite!

I was originally closed into this new market in Torrington by their flashing lights at night…read more They're next door to where Payless Shoes used to be, so parking is plentiful. The market isn't too big, it's two aisles and some coolers, but they fit a lot of variety in there. It's Hispanic focused and lots of food you're not going to find in Stop & Shop. It's fun to just poke around and try something new! The prices are reasonable although not always marked. You can definitely make a whole dinner, or even a dinner party with the selection. There is also cheese, and fresh fruits and vegetables. The cashier let me wander and take it all in, and was very friendly. I only wish they had more spices, but that's minor in the overall picture.

I stopped in the first entrance which was not correct; it's on the Locust road entrance. For a small basket, it was $15. Parking was ample and NBC news was even there the day I went. There was a booth and friendly people working there. The field was large. I went the first week it opened and there were plenty of strawberries. The strawberries were so good, almost like candy. It was super fresh; I don't want to buy strawberries from a grocery store anymore! The kids enjoyed picking them and so did I. Definitely worth a visit!

This 75-acre farm opened as a U-Pick farm to the public since the 1980s. There are about 15,000…read moreapple trees which are no more than 6 feet tall due to the way it was planted. They planted it this way so people can reach it when the fruits are ready to be picked, genius idea. They also grow peaches, plums, nectarines, blueberries, various vegetables, and Asian pears. We went in September for apple picking. The parking lot was spacious, a nice farm stand, a patio area, and a picnic area. This year, apple picking started on 8/31/2024 and ends in late October. You have to check in at the window to purchase a ticket; they give you a bag and ticket for a tractor ride to the apple orchard. The farm stand has donuts, ice cream, cider, slushie, and a cafe. The tractor ride was fun; you can buy a ticket just for the tractor ride alone for $5 or $18 for a bag and tractor ride. We waited about 30 minutes for the tractor; it was the last tractor ride of the day and it was a busy Saturday. We went late in the season so most of the apples were picked over. We were able to get a bag full though. The property was amazing and the view of the hills from the orchard was lovely. After, we sat at the picnic table area and which had fire pits too. They had toys for the kids and there was live music. We tried out their hard cider (4-pack $24) and it was good. Overall, it's a fun place to do a fall festivitiy.
