I had the chance to stop by their Strawberry Festival last month and it was an enjoyable event…read more Unfortunately given the 1 lane road either way they caused their own traffic jam in/out and ran out of parking in the main lot. 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.

The property is well-maintained, clean (well, as clean as a farm gets) and orderly. Staff are thoughtful, attentive and at ease with the day-to-day management of the horses, and their owners :) The owner, Lisa, is a lifelong equestrian and displays the innate skills to run the operations, instructional services, boarding, training and other requirements of the farm, while maintaining a safe environment. She exhibits a deep understanding of the horse psyche. There is a sense of unity amongst owners, riders and staff. I think it is a happy place. As I have relocated to the West Coast, I miss all things EDF. Were I to return to New England, this would be my choice. Thanks EDF staff!!!

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!

Last week, during our annual cousin road trip in Massachusetts, we decided to make a little detour…read moreto a farm I had seen on TikTok. 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.

Very fun afternoon in the sun! We took the Cow Safari and got to see/feed/pet probably 6 cows,…read moreincluding Ferdinand the 2000lb 7ft sweetie. The cows are clearly used to people, and had no concerns about us (even the young kids they were very gentle with). The wagon takes you into the pasture where you feed the cows pieces of bread for about a half hour. I wonder how much bread they go through? Staff seemed knowledgeable and happy, always a good sign. There are ducks, goats, and cows to see. Ice cream, dirty sodas, and hot dogs to eat. Only sad that the merchant closed at 5 so we didn't get to peruse.

I have been a patron of Pete & Jen's mini-store for many years. It's a bit out of my way, but it's…read morealways worth the trip to get locally raised goods. The store is open year-round, 24 hours a day. While that may seem novel for a little shop that only sells fresh farm products, the even more novel part, is that it operates exclusively within the confines of the honor system. Of course, they have cameras set up, because even the tony community of Lincoln has its ne'er do wells. Nevertheless, if you need something at any hour, just fill out one of the shopping lists and drop it, along with your cash into the slot before you leave. It's pretty rare that I need emergency meat, lard, or eggs, but there was definitely one occasion, a holiday, when everything was closed, and I needed eggs, and the mini-store saved my ass (and also my dessert). As you might imagine, because this is all locally produced fare, you will pay more for it. Sometimes substantially more than your nearest supermarket, but if you want premium ingredients, and you prefer local produce and meat, this shouldn't come as a surprise. In fact, if you compare it with Whole Foods, you're not doing badly at all. The range of products available in the mini-store is much wider than it used to be, so rather than list it, I have included an image of their on-line inventory list. The list changes with current inventory, and is updated regularly, so if you're going after something specific, check there first. Time, and my budget preclude my getting here as regularly as I would like, but I'm always grateful to have Pete & Jen's as a resource.

By far, a fabulous apple picking experience and an amazing orchard with much to do besides apple…read morepicking! There's a general store that has all sorts of delicious apple based and other products. There's a petting zoo. And perhaps best of all there's a kiosk at which you can buy delicious apple cider donuts that are homemade on the premises. They cannot be beat. There are also plenty of other types of fruit that you can pick at this orchard besides apples. For example, one can pick peaches, blueberries, and pears. We have been coming here for several years and haven't gotten around to partaking in this activity of picking other fruits than apples. There is also a big tent we can get homemade hard cider and listen to music from live musicians. There are hay rides and there's also a giant maze which your kids might love. Perhaps you will love it too. We highly recommend Honey Pot Orchards for a fun family day!

Most underwhelming experience I've had at an apple orchard. I came here on a weekend in early…read moreNovember because they were offering half-price apple picking. I got a small bag for $12.50 which was a great deal. I had no problem with parking. I got a good amount of apples, although I wish the signs for the types of apples were clearer. The main reason my rating isn't higher is due to the policing near the exit. I've been through security at concert venues that were less scrutinizing. When I was leaving, an employee was near the entrance was inspecting the wagon of a family with multiple bags. I didn't hear the entire conversation but I did hear the employee lecturing them about not overfilling the bags. The employee also said to not reuse the bags (something that could be prevented if they wrote the dates on the bags as other orchards do) and understandably the family said they wouldn't come back. Even though I wasn't the target of the apple police, it created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The best part of my visit was the cider donuts. The farm store was disappointingly small with mainly apples and cider available for purchase. Considering the plethora of options for apple picking in MA, I don't plan to return here.

Tldr: didn't like the random dust clouds, apples were good, pears were smaller than expected but…read morealright, also didn't like the slope, it's not very flat or smooth except for on the grass in between the rows of apples but depending on if there were lots of rotten fruit on the ground there were also lots of bees. Went with my husband and 10month old to pick some asian pears and honeycrisps. There was organized and ample parking. The main paths have large gravel rocks that were loose and uneven and a grass strip in the middle. It was a bit hard to push through even with our stroller with large wheels. The tractors that occasioned through blew the dust up around the paths too. There were plenty of porta potties and I also liked they have a hand washing station too. We didn't try any of the food trucks but appreciated the option. Farm stand was small, there were some picnic tables but could have been more (potentially near the food trucks) There were some chicks, bunnies, a goat, and donkey? to look at. The kids play area has a 2-5 & 5-12 play structures and water play but they were very close together, not much room to run around between the structures.

Review is as a non-apple picker. My friends and I swung by here for lunch in the mid-point of a…read morebike ride, lured in by the promise of apple cider donuts. From what I could tell, there are larger orchards in the area but Shelburne seemed to have everything you need - a food truck (with an excellent burger and pulled pork sandwich), a hard cider place, the aforementioned apple cider donuts, and a little general store selling jams and whatnot. At first glance, there didn't appear to be a ton of seating but if you walk a bit further up the hill, past the grassy patch, there's a good amount of benches and tables. Apple cider donuts review: 4/5? Not as fresh or as warm as I've sampled at other orchards but these had a healthy dusting of cinnamon sugar and a great chew. Downing two of these bad boys was not a great decision for the ride back (plus I had a cheeseburger). Cheeseburger: 4.5/5. Just a bun, patty, cheese, ketchup but listen, this was one of the best cheeseburgers I've had in a while. The bun was perfectly buttered and toasted and there was just the right ratio of meat to bread to condiments. I felt really, really food-drugged after eating this and the donuts. All the burger needed was some pickles. The only thing I didn't love about the layout is the area with the food truck had only three or four tables (no chairs) and faced the row of Porta Potties but I get that space is at a premium. There was also a sizable hill to get from the food truck to the area with tables/benches/donuts, which made walking in cycling shoes an enormous pain, though that's a me-problem.
