Great experience today -- went apple picking w/ the wife & our poodle (yes, dogs are allowed). We…read moreall enjoyed our time at Riiska Brook Orchard. Place was not crowded at all, and there were a variety of apples to pick from. We appreciated that the rows of apple trees were labeled, you don't often find that at other orchards. Scenic views also (and the ride to the orchard was very scenic too). Staff was super-friendly, and the apple cider is the BOMB (we took a sip before departing and realized how awesome it was, so I ran back in to purchase another 1/2 gallon). Also, we picked up two butternut squash for only a dollar a piece -- a savings of at least $5, and it tasted way better than what you get in a supermarket, We will definitely be back again !

For my money better than even Artheusa (and they are delicious). Make the trip.

Great spot! We arrived after dinner and just a few minutes before they close at 7pm. Ice cream was…read moreexceptional! Super velvety and rich and what they call one scoop is an extremely generous serving and a bit more than I had bargained for after a full meal. Nevertheless, it was so excellent I ate the whole serving! Cool Alpine themed grounds that resemble Germany or Switzerland and the cows are close by on view. Very kind and friendly service, I only wish they were open later because especially once it's lighter later, the 7pm close seemed a bit early. I'll definitely be back to try their cheese and other farm store products. Although we had some time to browse, I couldn't decide what I wanted before they closed at 7. No hardship to return here though: great spot!

I'm so glad I found Meadow Farm Equipment!…read more For me owning a house in the Berkshires has meant lots of yard, garden, and driveway work. Once I got a truck, I found myself coming here several times a week to purchase mulch, driveway mix, gravel, compost, topsoil. They also sell chainsaws, weedwackers, and leaf blowers (they are official Stihl, Husqvarna, and Echo dealers). The mulch, compost, and top soil I picked up from them was great quality! The best I have seen from anywhere! Even better, their prices are great and they deliver! The customer service is great! I've worked the most with, Alex and Jen, if I arrive at 7:01am or 4:55pm they are always fast, pleasant, courteous, and professional. The staff has been super knowledgeable about their products. When I went in to look at a new chainsaw Alex asked me a bunch of questions to better understand my needs before making recommendations. (The prices were very competitive to what I've seen at big box stores.) I had them repair my weedwacker, they did the work quickly (called me to let me know it was ready) and it works better than ever. FYI, it seems like they repair pretty much everything, sharpen chainsaw blades, and work on lawn mowers and tractors.

They are knowledgeable about their products and have a wide selection of replacement parts for your yard equipment. We got a few yards of dirt and organic compost one year. There were a few things in the compost I wouldn't consider organic - wire, plastic... check out a higher grade compost in a bag for vegetable gardens. The prices were fair and delivery was fast. Their location is cool convenient right on 102 but the end of the drive could use some fill in the pot holes. Drive slowly. We go back because they are locally owned and like to support our community. One thing I've learned since moving from the west coast is - northeast customer service is not the same as west coast or southern hospitality.
