I recently visited Marshall farm for plants and flowers. I purchased their farm free range chicken…read morefrom the freezer in their store. It's expensive but so worth it.

I love Eleazer Davis Farm (EDF). The farm is situated along two conservation areas, near the…read moreConcord River. It is picturesque. 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!!!

One of my favorite farms in the Boston area. I had family in the neighborhood and that's how I…read morediscovered this gem that has been my go-to farm for over 8 years. 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 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.

It's three in the morning and you are baking all local flan when suddenly you run out of eggs! OH…read moreNO! What are you going to do? Do you throw your hands up in despair? Why NO! YOU DO NOT, because Pete and Jen's Backyard Birds is open 24/7 for your locavore egg purchasing needs. I feel safer, don't you? Go make flan. Do it. Now.

Lovely experience Apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards this last week…read more Service was great all around despite over an hour wait for the cider donuts (which were most definitely worth the wait). Apples were extremely tasty with great variety and plenty of ladders for picking. My only fret was that the signage at times was not the most clear. And the best part: the ambiance of it all. Perfect cool day in Mass with all the Fall colors and families having a great time... it was such a positive atmosphere. Would totally go again.

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.
