I also discovered a lovely nutty granola here that goes perfect with Greek yogurt and apples. There are nice spreads they sell here from Boston Fish Co. including smoked salmon pate. Between these "staples" and the array of cheeses, desserts, and pastas, I walk out with almost $100 worth of yummy local foodstuffs each visit. It's a fun thing to do on a Saturday morning/afternoon despite the decent crowd of shoppers.

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've always wanted to order one, I think i will this year after reading the reviews. Small dirt parking lot for approx 10 cars maybe?

Check it out in the fall! From their site: We offer our own grass-fed beef, pastured pork, Thanksgiving turkeys and farm fresh vegetables, as well as our own honey, maple syrup, stone-ground corn meal, firewood, and other products. In the fall, we have pick-your-own pumpkin days. We have several greenhouses, which help us to stay a few steps ahead of Mother Nature.

I had attempted to call the farm a few times Thanksgiving morning which I new was a bit far fetched because everything is closed. I did however reach out on Facebook and it was a hit. Someone reached out to me within minutes. They sent out an alert to all Arcadian's in the area to see if someone could open up the farm and meet me for a pie pick up. It was amazing a few messages later I was in route to meet someone at the farm. I was kindly greeted by a fine young man at the door who greeted me with all my pies and a huge smile. I thanked him and offered a tip that he kindly declined. I can't say enough about how greatful I am to be from this little town and to have our town farm so close. They really go above and beyond for their customers. Thank you again! Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Holiday! Ps..The farm is absolutly adorable! The Pies and produce are fresh and delicious!

My friend and I wound up in the overflow a little after 11am when the event started. I've always seen signs around when I'm driving in the area for other events or goods that they are selling. In the fall they seem especially popular as well for pumpkins and fall activities. The market area is brightly lit. Given the neighborhood, as everyone else has commented expect prices to be at a premium. The samples we tried at the Strawberry Festival were tasty. My favorite was the short cake. They also offered tickets at $1/ticket for some other paid offerings such as their ice cream which I skipped. They had someone dressed up as the Green Monster so that was a fun photo op for the family too. The event had a lot of staff so each station was moving. In fact one of the owners/managers came by seeing a long queue near the entrance by the pasta said we could walk around to the other stations since no one should be waiting in a line (ignore the line to park and get in haha.) I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit but it's an option for local. I've also gone to Wagon Wheel which is smaller for seasonal / market type items.

Items at the White Barn Store that are NOT on the CSA list: raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, cantelope, corn, beans, etc. etc. 15 weeks in the CSA so it is about $43 a week if you do the CSA. You can choose only 8 items on a list if you do the CSA. Only 8. As a sample, one item has been: one zucchini, one yellow squash, one garlic clove, 3 beets, one raddhicio, one cabbage, etc. Given the $43 a week CSA price, then each item is about $5.25. So, if you do the CSA you are paying $5.25 for ONE zucchini, $5.25 for one garlic clove, $5.25 for 3 beets, $5.25 for a green cabbage. I have done CSAs for over a decade and the idea used to be that a person will "invest" in the farm up front and it it is a good year then there is a bounty of veggies, if it is a bad year you help the farmer by ensuring they have a set fund to work from. This has not been a bad year. Sadly, this farm does not allow the CSA investor to share in the harvest. Instead we pay over $5 for a single zucchini or garlic clove while we see other shoppers who didn't do the CSA be able to pay less. If you joined this CSA and are disappointed, please don't give up on CSAs. There are much better ones out there that respect the CSA investor.

They serve Richardson's ice cream, so not their own, and like other Richardson's not direct from their creamery it seems to lose a little flavor and texture. The name Richardson's is suspiciously absent on the walls as well. I got the banana split with German chocolate cake, blueberry pie, and rum raisin. They were all.. good, but I've had better of all three elsewhere. It was huge and priced accordingly! We had an unrelated issue too- my friend ordered a classic brownie sundae and even pointed at the picture of it on the wall- a big brownie with toppings. What he got instead was a cup with ice cream and pre-cut brownie bits in it, nowhere near as fresh and inviting. He pointed this out to them and instead of apologizing or asking if he wanted something else they just told him they don't make it like the picture. Disappointing product and service. We liked the young team of servers but I feel like the whole place could use an injection of energy and ice cream passion!

I knew our kids would absolutely love it, so we decided to stop by on Friday. When we arrived, we found out that tickets were required, and unfortunately, they were sold out online. One of the wonderful ladies at the ice cream truck suggested that we speak with the owner to see if there happened to be a cancellation, especially since we had traveled all the way from New Jersey. We spoke with the owner, and he kindly told us that if someone canceled, he would let us take their spot. Honestly, I didn't have much hope because there were seven of us! We decided to stick around and get some ice cream while we waited and I'm so glad we did! Their ice cream was AMAZING. The Cookie Monster was honestly one of the best I've ever had. While we were there, the kids got to see a cow with her baby, ducks, goats, and several other animals. They played, explored, and were genuinely having such a great time. Eventually, the owner's wife came over and let us know that unfortunately, there hadn't been any cancellations. But then something happened that truly touched our hearts. She knew from her husband that we had come all the way from New Jersey and wouldn't be able to come back another time, so she allowed our kids to feed some of the cows anyway without doing the ride, but from the gate. That small gesture meant SO much to us. She took the time to tell us about the cows and the other animals, answer our questions, and make our kids feel so welcome. It's not every day that you come across a business that goes out of its way to be this kind and accommodating, and it genuinely warmed my heart. We had such a fun experience, and the kids are still talking about it! If you're ever in the area, PLEASE go check them out. And definitely try the ice cream, even if you can't get tickets to the farm experience. It's absolutely worth the stop! Thank you for making our unexpected detour such a special memory.
