And fresh cut flowers. And meat from the animals that they raise on their farm. And they sell it at competitive prices. Not with exorbitant mark ups. The jam being sold was made in some ones kitchen - not at some mini factory. Same with the baked goods. It's held up on Academy Hill in Westminster. A big grassy field that you can easily sit down in. Live music on the band stand. Quite a few trees that provide shade for those hot days.

My wife and I decided to visit here about 6:30PM on the Fourth of July. Normally we stay inside…read morebecause we hate holidays where everything is closed but we were delighted to find out this place was open. The entrance to the farm kind of sneaks up on you fast; the whole place appears much smaller on the outside, but once you pull in and get to the gravel parking lot, you realize how much bigger it is inside. There was live outdoor music playing and kids laughing and cheering while playing with the nearby caged animals. This place was a great vibe. We weren't particularly hungry so I can't comment on the food, but we did take a walk around and paid for a quart box for blueberry picking. This was our first time and we had no idea what we were doing, but soon enough we filled up our little box very nicely. I recommend you bring some Off or some kind of bug spray if you're anything like me and bugs love buzzing around your ears. Inside the one of the barns was their stores and I picked up a bag of caramel puff corn and a delicious Apple Cider slushie. Everyone was very friendly. Overall we had a very good time here, and I hope to come back on an empty stomach so that I can try out some of their cider donuts.

It has it all going on. This location is amazingly popular and I'm surprised after living in the area for one year I'm just now discovering it. Definitely will return for more exploration.

This has to be one of the best, if not the best farmers market I've ever been to…read more I felt as if I were on the scene of Robin Hood walking into Sherwood Forest. Soft guitar music playing while all the beautiful foliage surrounds all the various kiosks. Like something out of Pinterest. I feel like the photos don't do the actual experience justice. Overall, I thought the stalls were decently priced and we bought a lot of items ranging from fresh beets, garlic, mixed greens, to fresh cheese, and mushrooms. Apart from food and produce they sell yarn that comes from the wool of local sheep. I saw a distillery stall where they were handing out samples - it had quite the line. A stall that sold dry teas and infused syrups (I bought one actually) Maple syrup, soaps, I could go on. There's a booth for those who use Hip and apparently from $10 you get $30 to spend so it's a place where even those on a low budget can come and take advantage. Then there's the food which, you should definitely try. It was our first time trying food from Afghanistan and it was incredible. They were like these dumplings filled with either meat or squash, we chose the squash, and then it had lentils on top and a rich yogurt sauce that was absolutely phenomenal. I mean, honestly, it was a great experience, and the place itself is so beautiful, it's no wonder that there's lines of cars parked and others waiting to find parking. That's the only drawback, finding parking is gonna be rough, but when you do, ohhh the goodies that await you! I honestly wish I lived here, I'd be at this farmers market every Saturday.

This whole central western/northern/centralish mass area is absolutely…read moredevoid of ... most things... but it's a refreshing change to find something between a big box grocery store (non existent around here) or a convenience store that has limited things - but this is the BEST location to buy produce, meat and frozen items in the area - period. It rivals that of farmer's markets which makes the name stand out. I really enjoy taking a ride there and taking my time in each department or aisle I feel that there's always something new each time I go there. It's almost like a boutique grocery store? Nah not like Whole Foods - think more like sodas from France, a loaded deli full of items and brands you are familiar with but some you just don't see at stop n shop or Costco - also have to mention that yes I know there barely anywhere to get a bit to eat so I have to recommend trying the pizza, incredible sandwich menu as well as the best deal in town - the smash burger ! A meal with fries will cost you FAR less than the drive thru crap and about 20,000 times better ! I would say it's the best kept secret but unless I go early on a weekday morning it's typically kind of busy. Absolutely love the mini liquor store - ultra convenient and love love love the selections of ciders and craft beers- it's actually almost staggering and overwhelming but then you realize 89% is local breweries/wineries/distilleries and it makes it better :) my only complaint at all is the high prices on a lot of things that's curely cheaper elsewhere like your Tostitos chips and polar seltzer but if you go with these expectations- you will enjoy your shopping experience here !!

I go there middle of the day not a lot going on, as other posts have noted the lady working the counter was cold and not very welcoming, no hello or how are you when I walked in. I politely said hi as she picked up the phone, no response even after she hung up from her phone call. I inquired about if they were organic bc there is a sign that says hormone free etc, she just blandly said no bc they give their cows grain, and that was the end of that. They have good products but it's hard to support local farms when the people working there seem to not give a shit about the people walking in the door. Number one rule of sales: sell the company, sell yourself, sell the product. She didn't do any of these things. The eggnog is pretty good, really thick, I like it. But they could work on their enthusiasm for their customers, and customer service hell even a smile would have been nice.

Set in the open Nevers Road Park, this market offers a variety local goods and a fun morning. When my friends and I walked over from nearby parking areas (which were plentiful and easy to get to), the smells of freshly cooked donuts from Faddy's Donut Shop and the sounds of a Grateful Dead tribute band met us. After grabbing some donuts, instead of sitting in the nice rest area set up near the band, we began down the line of stands. We found a little of everything we wanted and more!! We grabbed a couple slices of pie from Granny's Pie Factory, a brown butter dark chocolate chip cookie from LaBrioche Bakery, a couple of jars of homemade artisan teas from Whole Harmony, and a bouquet of freshly picked flowers from the Syme Family Farm. Shopping here can get a bit pricey, for example, a South Windsor Farmers Market tote bag was $5; however, you're supporting local businesses, many of which don't have storefronts. It's well worth chipping in a few extra bucks with the quality of the goods and the personal attention you receive at the stands. I would rather save my money and spend it here than at big chain stores that don't need it. Every vendor we went to, especially the individuals at the Syme Family Farm and the Whole Harmony stands, were extremely kind and helpful. The vendor of Whole Harmony allowed us to try a couple of teas he had out as well as the lavender lemonade (all of which were extremely delicious); he also told me how to properly steep the teas and gave me a loyalty card that offers a free jar after ten purchases. The vendors at the Syme Family Farm stand told me how they handpicked each flower, and wrapped up my bouquet--which was thoughtfully put together with care--and put it in a plastic baggie with wet paper towels around the stems to keep the flowers hydrated after I asked if they would be all right since we were not going directly home. I was very impressed by these two vendors' professionalism and kindness. The South Windsor Farmers Market is definitely a farmers market you need to check out!! It's open every Saturday in the morning (which is an extremely convenient and great time) from the middle of June until the middle of October. The organization running also has a list of what vendors will be there each week on a document on the website. You'll really enjoy every minute of being at this market, and you will undoubtedly find spectacular goods!!
