Highly recommend trying the cider donuts They blow Clyde's out of the water. 10/10 read more

So fun!! Staff was very friendly. They had all the fall things: apple picking, horse drawn wagon ride, pumpkins and a corn maze. We had a great time. read more

Items are not sold at the marked prices. Basic 2nd grade math skills are lacking. I had to explain the corn sign with the price of .95 cents is less than a penny. Should be reported to BBB for misleading pricing. read more

Great farm stand with fresh produce. My family goes here pretty frequently in the summer months and they always seem to have a great selection. We went to the corn maze for the first time this past fall and it was great. Not too crowded and a lot of fun. Lots of pumpkins to choose from too. We missed apple picking season but looked like a great option for that. read more

True overpriced. Bought corn at the ridiculous price and it wasn't even fully developed ears. Very disappointing. Tomatoes high priced too. Donuts are the best part of Scott's. read more

Horrible experience at Scotts. I am a local snd have always solicited them even though their prices are overpriced and staff and owner are rather sharp to customers. But, will pay more to support my community businesses. Today was the last straw, picked up one apple in a bag of seconds and a snotty 20 year old staffer begins scolding me for touching the apples. Says signs are posted not to pick through the bags of seconds. Since when is touching one apple not allowed. I was prepared to buy multiple flowers and produce from them, not after that...I nicely told her to keep her plants and produce and left. Another farm stand right downthe street. Will NEVER return again. I guess Karen Scott really doesn't need the business anymore. Good bye Scott's! And I will spread the word! read more

I came in search of a fresh fried donut. This is a farm that offers fruit pickings and vegetables for sale. They have a donut frier along with 2 cider donut options- regular and apple cinnamon sugar. I tried the apple cinnamon sugar. The donut I bought was fried an hour ago and it was still warm. Delicious- although would have been better if I could have gotten it right off the frier. Not too sweet, the batter is well mixed so the texture was an equal sensation throughout the donut. Overall tasty experience and would recommend it! Parking outside, bathroom available, friendly staff. read more

I don't know why I haven't written a review sooner! I've been going to Scott's for years now - for berries, apples and pumpkins. I have little kids so it's nice to have the orchard and berry patches right near by. No need to take a long hike to the fruit. The staff and folks at the farm are super sweet. I d never had a problem with them. Quick to respond through FB messenger. And, pricing is fair for their produce. This year we decided to take our family photos with a pro photographer at the farm and Scott's was accommodating. We reserved our time slot and kept our masks on when around people. We were able to distance ourselves for our photos - no one bothered us. It was a success! Grabbed some pumpkins and cider donuts on the way out. read more

Local herbs, flowers, plants, as well as fruits & veg. Live little chicks on display which is super cute. Local honey & jam, pies etc. Casual approach rather than higher end trendy farmers market. Service is ho hum. read more

Total Outrage! Friends and Relatives at my Home for a get together. I Proceed to get TWO DOZEN Corn-On-The Cob for my guests, and the "farmer" says to me "that WILL be $24 Please"! Are YOU SERIOUS... Corn HERE Sells for $12 @ Dozen. BEWARE CONSUMERS... this is the Most Unfriendly, Over-Priced Farm Stand in New England. Never Will I Ever Patronize this establishment again. Lost a Great Customer because of their Greed ! read more

We had a fun time here, (1) buying fresh fruit, (2) picking our own fruit, and (3) doing a fun corn maze. (1) At the farm stand, they had different kinds of apples, peaches, nectarines, and tomatoes. They also had homemade jam (and even a low-sugar version) and cider sugar doughnuts that smelled amazing and went quickly. (2) At the orchard, they had Macintosh apples to pick. They also had a big apple-shaped maze to wander through, along with a kids guide for clues. It's about a 45-minute-long activity, I'd say. All the people we met working there were nice, and we were happy to patronize a local farm. read more

We used to go to Scott's every week.This was from 1978-2000.It was a great place then and we live nearby. In the past few years it is not the same-at all.Very overpriced on items they grow-no transportation costs. Recently I stopped by and the workers were quite rude! They used to be helpful and pleasant.I would not suggest Scott's on the Boston Post Rd.in East Lyme. There are other Scott's that I have not tried. read more

The times they are a-changin. Going to the store and actually having a paid employee scan your items for you? Please, that was so 5 years ago. We'll not only pay for our food but we'll scan it and bag it for ourselves and you don't have to pay us a dime to do so. In these times where customer service usually comes in the form of a dissatisfied customer coming to complain about a defective product (I once overheard some lady complain: "Yes. I bought this cake last week and SURPRISE! It was half eaten! I want my money back!"), pick your own places are still loads of fun.For one thing, it's essentially a fruit buffet. I like to do the One for You, One for Me method: I pick up an apple and say, "one for me" and bite it and then grab another apple and say, "one for you" and put it in the bag. And besides, these are tough times for farmers so we may as well help them out and do their job of picking the ripest fruits for them. Not only that, but we'll pay premium prices for the stuff too! One word of caution though: don't walk into your neighborhood grocery store and take a bite out of all the produce to see if you want to pick any more of a specific item. A couple notes about this location: - The farm stand (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/txn2gSZYzmuYBORsmi8VdQ?select=sehbZQgcSm7jqPltbp1xog) is located on Rte. 1. I tried a bottle of the unpasteurized apple cider ($1.50) and it was as delicious as it was risky to drink. The corn also seemed popular here as several customers came in asking if there was anymore corn. The stand is open from April through December 31: 9am-5:30pm. - The pick your own/corn maze area is just down the street. It's close enough to walk to but not while carrying bags of apples. Strawberries: June through July Raspberries: July Blueberries: July through August Peaches: August through September Apples: Labor day weekend through late October Pumpkins: late September through the end of October - Wagon rides, a corn maze, and donuts are also available. - We picked apples and it was $18 for a 1/2 bushel bag. The apples were delicious, but the selection was limited compared to other places I've been to. My 8 month old daughter had a great time in the pumpkin patch. A great way to spend a fall afternoon. read more

Ok, so we spent the afternoon at Clyde's Cider Mill in Mystic, waiting the 30 minutes to have a donut and cider, and the donuts were a total bust. They were bland with that dry nutmeg flavor, not cinnamon sugar dusted enough, nor fried tasting, like I wanted! I was greatly disappointed, and the friends hosting said, "We came here for cider mill ambiance, but if you want a great donut, let's go to Scott's afterwards!" Listen, Scott's of East Lyme CT has Amazing Donuts!!! A MUST-have Fall treat, and the smell of fresh apples in their store is pretty glorious!! Go and INDULGE!! This road side store offers a variety of fresh farm harvest items along with all of their variety of apples! What. Great Place!! read more

If You Thought Paying $ 1.00 Per Ear For Corn Is A Little Too Much, You Had Better Not Come Here. Currently They Charge $ 1.65 Each. You Got It ! A Mere 10 Ears Cost Me $ 16.50. Now I Realize That With the Pandemic PRICE-GOUGING is RAMPANT. There Is NO Reason On Earth To Charge a Whopping $ 19.80 per Dozen For Corn on the Cob. I Wonder How They Sleep At Night ? Fool Me Once.... ! read more

BEST strawberries to pick and raspberries are PHENOMENAL ! Apple picking and cider in the fall and we can walk here! Loving it for the past 26yrs! read more

We love Scott's Yankee Farmer. My sister is lucky to have this great farm stand close to her home, and every time I am in town I insist we visit Scott's often. She goes for the great local fresh produce, and being a vegan, she can buy most of her entire meals here. In the few days we visited we did go back for the fresh picked, butter sweet corn three times. I love Scott's for the apple cinnamon donuts and the other fresh baked goods. Vacations are for indulging, and the donuts are my favorite way to wave dietary caution to the wind for a few days. They can sell out quick, so you have to get there early and buy extras because they make a good dessert for later in the day too. Speaking of desserts, we also bought a delicious apple pie from Scotts recently. The jelly and jam selection is impressive and the beautiful flowers and plants outside are so welcoming. The hours listed on Yelp were not up to date. The sign on the store, at least in July, says they are open 8-6 daily so I was disappointed I waited until 9 thinking I would be first in line for those hot donuts and I could have had them an hour earlier. I would love to go by Scott's in the fall when the apples are actually in season because I can only imagine these are the best in town. read more

We went to the farm for apple picking and had a good time. There were no crowds on Labor Day weekend, the apples were good and reachable for our children and the corn maze was fun. Afterward we went to the store and got lots of wonderful tomatoes and some tasty apple cinnamon donuts. read more

Love Scott's! I pass by to and from work, and like to stop in once a week or so. There's always something worth getting, whether it's fresh veggies or fruit straight from their farm, or beautiful plants like the great mums I got today (3/$12.50!). The prices are usually fair, and there are some great bargains. Their cider is unpasteurized - delicious, bright and just tart enough. (I am a self-professed cider connoisseur, having grown up next door to my Grampa's cider mill, sadly long gone now). It is becoming nearly impossible to find raw cider, and nothing beats it. Scott's does a fine job. read more

I stopped by Scott's Yankee Farmer because Fall is almost over and wanted to get a little taste of it before it was gone! The young man working was extremely helpful trying to help me find the type of apples that I like (I couldn't remember their name). The warm apple cider donuts make the trip worth it themselves, though! They were absolutely delicious! I will definitely try to come back again before Fall is over! read more

I came in with 2 elderly residents from the assisted living facility I work at. The people working there were very unfriendly to us. They were of no help and very rude. 3 stars because the apple cider donuts were great. read more

The local farm in East Lyme. It's fun to pick your own blueberries and strawberries, great price too. There are a lot more things you can do at the farms, just haven't gotten the chance yet. read more

Small farm was a perfect visit for our little ones - ages 4 and 5. We went on Labor Day and there was only a few other people there. We paid $1.79 per pound for the apples, which is way cheaper than some of the other orchards we have gone to close to NYC. The corn maze was $5 per person. read more

The best local cider I've found... unpasteurized, of course. A friendly place with reasonable prices. And a good place to buy pumpkins in the fall. read more

traffic jam on 95 so we took the back roads and stumbled upon this lil farm stand.. most of what they had was produce that they had grown or it was somewhat local. everything was good and the prices were pretty cheap!! they had big buckets of "seconds" on tomatoes for really really cheap! read more

I came to pick strawberries today. There's a lovely crop here, and i was able to get 14lbs is 30 minutes. They are well priced and taste amazing! It's hard to wait for strawberry season each June, but once I eat a fresh berry like the ones I got today, I just cant makemyself eat the ones that're shipped from California. Employees were friendly and helpful. Directions were clear, and they take credit cards! Excellent! I'll be back for raspberry season. read more
