I always leave with more than I planned to, but that's because the selection always surprises me, and they're always willing to let you try things before committing to the purchase. (They have more than just cheese to; I've picked up some amazing preserves and mustards as well; the store is basically a massive charcuterie board!). As for the staff, they're alwayss friendly and accommodating. On my last visit, I was running late and arrived less than 10 minutes before they closed; they still accommodated me, even though most things had cleaned up. I highly recommend!

I visited Books & Company recently for the first time & completely fell in love with it…read more Apparently, this store used to be in Hamden, but the owner retired & sold the building & the company. This is the new location & new ownership. I had never been to the prior store. I spent a whopping two hours in this little shop. It is set up & well curated like a fancy bookstore, on par with my experience at shops like Athena Books in Greenwich, CT, and Martin House Books (formerly Savoy) in Westerly, RI. It's on the smaller/boutique-style size, so don't expect a massive range of genres, like one would find at the Book Barn in Niantic, CT. There's no coffee shop, but there is a Keurig & water available, and a handful of chairs to sit in. The used fiction books were in good or very good condition, easy to locate in their sections, and priced around $8 for hardcovers if the book retailed $24+. I got two recent NYTimes bestsellers that had been on my wishlist. The children's & young adults books were also well selected, and I bought a handful, ranging in $2-$3/each for paperback & hardcover. The price stickers easily peeled off all of my books without leaving any residue, which I very much appreciated. The gift selection was perfect for stocking stuffers or small mailed gifts, including for nerds, gamers, and musicians. There were bowls full of stickers, $0.25 each, and postcards, $1 each. Funny magnets, like Mincing Mockingbird, were a full $3 cheaper than at other gift shops (e.g. Bowerbird in Old Lyme, CT). There were also some handmade gifts from locals. There's a shelf near checkout with wrapped mystery books. I thought this was the common "buy a date with a random book" thing. It wasn't -- You picked one for free with the purchase of any book in the store. The wrapping is a hint related to the title or theme, and a lot of the wrapping was sustainable, e.g. reusing a helium balloon body or old calendars, etc. I was surprised that the mystery book wasn't tied to a minimum purchase amount (and I wonder if it will be sustainable for the shop's bottom line, I have to admit). I was further amazed that all of the wrapped books were advertised as being at least 3.5+ stars on GoodReads. My mystery book ended up being a pristine paperback copy of "The Time Traveler's Wife." There's a selection of greeting cards as well, but I found those to be the only spot the store was lacking; they were expensive at $6+, and I've seen a lot better selections, e.g. at The Bowerbird, with a larger range of independent artists, at more affordable price points $3-$5. I normally buy a lot of greeting cards when I come across ones that aren't the big box brands (Hallmark has a massive monopoly, omg), but I didn't buy any cards here. There was a free section near the front door, and there was a fill-a-bag sale rack near the front. I asked the cashier/owner a lot of questions, and she was very knowledgeable and helpful. I heard her speaking with others who came in & from my understanding, when you trade in books, you get half their selling value in store credit. All in all, this is one of my favorite used bookstores I've visited, and I will definitely travel to the area again before the holidays to visit it. I would highly recommend it! If you like to shop used/vintage/antiques, there's also a little store next door in the same plaza, but it doesn't have A/C. This book shop does have A/C. =)

The problem that I used to have with the place is that it never seemed to change the lineup of items. Everything was the same old, same old, but this year is another story.

B&B Farms is a farm and ice cream shop that opened in West Haven, Connecticut in 1998. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Robert & Barbara Newkirk. The 12-acre location has actually been a farm since the 1940s, but the Newkirk Family didn't take over until decades later. Three years after opening the new farm, the Newkirks moved onto the property when they realized that they spent more time there than at their previous home down the street. One of the main crops on the farm is their large selection of flowers. They also grow pumpkins and various squash and gourds for the Autumn. In addition to crops, there is also an ice cream shop on the property that carries over 22 flavors of ice cream (supplied by Buck's French Ice Creams from the neighboring town of Milford). The farm hosts children's parties in their big red barn and also offer tractor-drawn hayrides, pony rides, and even horse-drawn sleigh rides during the Holiday season. Since 2014, the Newkirks' son Tyler has his own craft shop on the property. The gift shop carries a variety of handmade crafts along with ​an abundance of unique decor, candles, soaps, cards, house plants, antiques, etc. In addition to Newkirk's own crafts, the shop also carries the work of many other local crafters. The shop also provides florist and decorating services. My family and I visited B&B Farms for the first time recently. My son loved all of the animals on the property, which included goats, donkeys, and horses. They had a nice selection of pumpkins and decorative gourds, as well as beautiful mums. The craft shop had some really cool Autumn and Halloween decorations on displays. The ice cream shop had an extensive selection of flavors. I ordered a cup with Pumpkin and Apple Pie ice cream, my wife ordered a cup with Pumpkin and 'Swamp' (Vanilla malt ice cream, caramel, crushed Oreos, chocolate chips, M&Ms and malted milkballs), and our son had a cup of Vanilla. We were all very happy with our choices! We enjoyed our time at B&B Farms and we look forward to returning in the future.
