Supposedly they moved, and I'm not even interested in knowing where their new location is. My friends and I used to frequent this pawn shop and my friends usually made out better than I did. I felt good about patronizing this place since the owner, or at least he seems to be the owner, is a Veteran and I respect him immensely for this. His son, or whomever the younger guy whom works here is, is thoroughly unpleasant to deal with. He has no brain-to-mouth filter and if he thinks you've brought in junk, then he will flat out tell you so, whether he is correct or not. On the bright side, one can probably do well buying things here. They seemed to have a lot of good stuff, if nothing else, and they are a few steps above King Queen Pawn in Derby, so in light of the Veteran gentleman whom is very nice and the selection, it is good, but in light of the uncouth young guy, it is very, very bad.

B & B Flower Farm

There were a few cars in the lot and not a ton of people on a Friday early afternoon. They had a lot of plants and produce around, and a huge area with pumpkins that they have priced by the pound. I quickly found a pumpkin the idea size for me, and a woman working there quickly rung me up (all cash only here!). I let her know I'd also be grabbing ice cream so we both walked to the ice cream area and I grabbed a salted caramel in a cone, about $6. There were some interesting flavors I wasn't sure of, and she happily explained. There's numerous benches around so I finished up around there, and then went and said hi to some of the farm animals milling about. Cute vibes, good ice cream! I believe they close the ice cream shop for the season at the end of October, so I'll try to be back before then!

Went for the ice cream. Good variety of flavors. I had a medium cup with maple walnut and…read morepistachio. Maple walnut was good. Did not like that the pistachio was green rather than white but it was pretty good. Some seating outdoors as there was a gazebo and another covered area with tables. I've been looking for a replacement of Old Bishop Farm in Cheshire which has sadly closed and was my 2nd favorite ice cream after UConn dairy bar. I may try this place again if in the area but would not make the 35 minute trek otherwise.

There are 6 greenhouses to explore, each filled with tables of organic vibrant healthy flowers and vegetable seedlings and potted plants. The hanging baskets of flowers are gorgeous, especially the petunia mixes and the huge luscious brilliant orange and yellow trailing nasturtiums. The birds are singing, it smells great and the owner is so nice and wonderfully helpful if you have any questions. The prices are so reasonable. Even if you aren't sure if you need anything, go there and wander around. You will walk away feeling calmer and with a smile on your face. It's worth turning on your GPS and finding your way there, 201 Fresh Meadow Rd, West Haven.

If I hadn't looked up local nurseries I never would've known they were there, it's definitely a pleasant surprise to find this adorable farm tucked away where I never would've guessed! My birthday passed recently and the only two things I told my family I wanted to do were get boba tea and go to the nursery. Golden Acres was my choice and I'm so glad it was. I was very impressed by the variety and amount of plants they had, there was tons to choose from! They have numerous greenhouses open at various times with seasonal veggies, perennials, annuals, etc. I love that they are organic and make a point to feature what they do and don't use. I am more of an ornamental gardener who only does a few edibles, but I still try to stay organic and it meant alot to me how transparent they were about their practices. The signs at each greenhouse with pricing and variety were extremely helpful and the way it was setup almost on a trail that you followed to each greenhouse (with various plants also set up outside) made it easy to look at everything without getting too turned around. All the plants looked very happy and healthy and I didn't see any visible pests while browsing. They were close to closing when we stopped by but they never rushed us or acted inconvenienced that we were still there. I ended up purchasing 2 6pk coleus starts - wizard mix and rainbow mix (with plans to return and purchase more plants once I had more time and money), and they were very reasonably priced, transplanted wonderfully and all 12 are thriving. I was extremely impressed by Golden Acres and can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!

That we grow healthy plants the old fashioned way!
