    As frequent visitors, we want to unconditionally love Frog Pond Farms, because it's clearly a LOT…read moreof work to offer what they do and we respect that kind of hard work. When our daughters were toddlers, they could spend all day looking at the animals while we browsed through the enormous quantities of plants and produce. But we can't continue to ignore the "cons". The parking lot looks like it's been bombed, and - as other reviews have noted - it's not exactly the safest place when you consider lots of children running around. Visitors must be extra vigilant and patient when pulling in and finding a place to park. On busy days, the one long narrow strip of parking spots can be a challenge. The far end of the business where chicks, ducks, and bunnies are sold is incredibly fly infested. Fly paper rolls could go a long way in making it more tolerable. I'm not sure if the horrid conditions in some of the cages impacts the health of the birds, but I can tell you we purchased 5 silkie chicks a couple of weeks ago, and two of them died within days, and a third is showing signs of distress. This is not the first time we've had this experience with animals we've purchased there - sick animals, inaccurate sexing. We have stopped considering Frog Pond as our "go-to" place when we want to add to our flocks. The flies are also a problem in the fruits and vegetables. I was browsing the display of berries and grapes and completely rejected any notion of buying them with the quantity of flies that were landing on them. I don't know if there's a solution to that, being that it's - in effect - an outdoor farm stand. Look, there's a lot that's amazing and wonderful and unique about Frog Pond. The work they put in to stocking it, the amazing math wizard at the register who adds everything up in his head just like his dad did, etc. The place has gotten a LOT bigger since we first discovered it and that growth may be working against them. Other reviewers have stated much of the produce is trucked in from outside the area, and not grown locally. Not sure if that matters to most people, but the place does give the "vibe" that it's a local source farm stand that offers plentiful heaps of whatever's in season. The prices are quite a bit higher than what you'd pay for similar items in local grocery stores, but again - we understand the overhead must be pretty substantial for Frog Pond. If you have children - especially little ones - they'll see the place as Disney. When the magic wears off, though, and you start noticing how many greenbacks you're handing over when you go, you start to consciously reflect on whether it's worth the trip out there.

    Sad so many bunnies and chicks in small cages. They are so close they can barely move. Two goats in…read more a small, fenced area with very little room to walk. To me that's animal cruelty. :-(

    Freedom Farms - My dog waiting for us to feed her dinner

    I used to suffer from terrible gastrointestinal issues, and after years of trying to figure out the…read morecause, I decided to switch where I was sourcing my meat. I stopped buying meat from grocery stores like Whole Foods and started ordering from Freedom Farms -- and my stomach has never been better. Even my husband, who is extremely skeptical about this kind of thing, noticed a difference almost immediately. The first time we ordered from Freedom Farms, we let our supply run out before placing our next order (big mistake!). We had to grab "organic, grass-fed" meat from the store as a backup, and within a day, both my husband and I were violently sick -- and so was our dog. She had diarrhea, and we had it coming out of both ends (TMI, but it matters). That's when it fully clicked: we need to be buying straight from the farm. We now exclusively feed our dog food we cook ourselves, using Freedom Farms meat. We use the bones for bone broth and add the hearts and livers into her meals. Our vet has literally told us she is the epitome of health. Since switching, my own blood work has also improved across the board -- all my levels are better. I truly believe a lot of store-bought meat is falsely advertised, even when it claims to be grass-fed or organic. Looking back, I think I was constantly inflamed from consuming poor-quality meat. The taste difference is undeniable too -- whenever I eat out or have meat from a store in a pinch, it genuinely tastes and feels like rubber to me. Thankfully, that almost never happens anymore because we make sure to order well ahead of time. Beyond the quality, I love everything this company stands for -- transparency, integrity, American farming, and education. The fact that you can even visit their farm says everything. I've seen some negative reviews, and honestly, I can't believe them. Freedom Farms has truly changed my life, and my dog has never been happier. Thank you, Freedom Farms, for doing things the right way. You've made a real, measurable difference in our health and our lives.

    I have an ordering from freedom Farms for sometime now and it is the best meat we have ever tasted…read moreI strongly recommend them. They are fantastic.

Outstanding establishment! Plants beautify my yard every year! Please continue being true to yourself and your customers. Establishment is clean, bright, organized, friendly, knowledgeable and respectful. I constantly recommend Adams to everyone I know that is new to the area with great feed back. Keep up the great work.

    I was obnoxiously followed like a shadow around the gift shop during my last visit about two weeks…read moreago, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I'm an Adams' fan in general. I love trying new things and love that most staff know their departments and aren't hesitant to share opinions when asked and sometimes even when they aren't. It reminds me of old school service, and I haven't been steered wrong by their input yet. When this location first opened, I constantly had issues checking out at the front registers. For example, a deal might be advert but not reflected on my receipt, or I could buy three lemons and be charged for four mangos and issues like that. So, I am diligent about checking my receipts, but I haven't caught any issues like that in the longest time. I love that if I come in for items in one of their specialty areas, I can just check out right there and skip the front registers all together. I think this is why I do more impulse buys here than other supermarkets. The prices are high, but I've heard staff say they are treated well. Because of that, I don't mind paying extra. I actually hope the store expands so I can avoid shopping at stores without that reputation. I might avoid this location's gift shop, though.
