Because I can tell you that their expansive land sitting next to the beautiful Route 146 has been the bullseye of many local developers' target for many years now. By the way, their land actually stretches much further to the north than what you actually see on Route 146. Check out the trails on the Pinchot Preserve to see some really interesting and cool terrain. Medlyn sells mostly sell eggs, tomatoes, firewood, and a few other farm produce items. Their eggs are produced from their very own chickens and cost approximately $3 for a dozen. Their roadside food stand is usually open during the summer months and closed during the winter months.

Of all the sites we visited, this was the stand out. The fruits and vegetables are incredible... literally picture-perfect and bursting with flavor. In addition, the stand has lots of homemade products like mango salsa, horseradish mustard, and the like. These specialty items are delicious! Oh, and don't forget to pick up some of their homemade preserves. My husband and I practically overdosed on peach preserves! There is a beautiful outdoor area where kids can play, which also makes the stand a nice destination for families. Last but not least, the staff that works here is so friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them.

What a great farm!! I found out about Hindinger Farms from Instagram. A food truck called Bubba's…read moreBrunch was going to be selling brunch of the food truck at the farm. You can read my review of Bubba's Brunch food truck in my review section because the food was delicious. Hindinger Farm sells fresh vegetables, fruits, jams, and other items for children, and it has a beautiful backdrop. One side of the farm overlooks the other side of the farm and the other side of the farmi overlooks this beautiful backdrop of nature on the farm. Hindubger Farms puts on live shows, and you can go shopping. There is also a playground for the kids to play. The playground is fenced in with a picnic area so parents can enjoy their food without worrying about their children's safety. You can always check their website for events, shopping, and find out which food truck will be at the farm that day. The customer service was great, and I will definitely be back.

Next morning I opened the package and found the fish totally spoiled and took it back, explained the spoilage and requested a refund. I was told because I had no receipt, they couldn't give me a refund only a store credit, and since I wasn't part of the rewards program, I would have to shop for something and the money would be applied. At no time was there an apology or concern, since this could have made me ill. I was accused by Angus of giving him a hard time, since I pointed out the food was clearly their product and given the fact that the food was spoiled, the right thing to do was to give me my cash refund. A prepared date of a fish dish on February 25 was on the shelf for 5 days which I find concerning. I'm also appalled at the poor customer service.

It's definitely a different orchard with the meat they sell. The store was a little small. Next time I think I will try a freshly made donut in the donut shack because I did not like the store-bought ones. There is also a snack shack. Other pictures show a pumpkin field, but I didn't ask about directions to get to that. They do have a large variety of pumpkins and mums to choose from. Very pretty! Walk to orchard not bad at all. I liked the closeness of all the varieties. I wish all trees were marked, some were. I will definitely go back!

I'm a little surprised that Gazy had not been Yelped yet...nor was it even found when searched!…read more We have been using their CSA - Communuity Support Agriculture, for the last two years now and have just about fallen in love with this program. We heard about CSA through a coworker and decided to look up a few in our area and learn more about it. Gazy Brothers was one that looked appealing, the cost seemed most budget friendly, and they delivered to our area. We missed the first summer CSA so hopped on the Fall ration. We enjoyed it; however, it consisted of a lot of greens that we weren't sure what to do with. Also, they deliver on Thursdays in East Haven/New Haven and because we are CT transplants, we travel MOST weekends out of the year so aren't able to do anything with our fresh veggies until Monday. Anyway, our boxes were filled with squash of all types, huge ones...we would cut them up and freeze right away if we weren't eating it. Kale and Spinach, root veggies too. We skipped Winter and Spring and signed up for Summer as this would give us the most goodies. Fact. We have 8 or 9 veggies in a typical week, plus we added the fruit CSA too so there is always a bag of fruit in there too. Because I stock up on meat throughout the year, our grocery trips during a CSA are minimal. If we don't need yogurt/dairy/cold cuts...then I can skip 1-2 weeks of grocery shopping! imagine that. CSA costs for summer came to about $25-$30/week. I spend more than this at the store every week on JUST produce. Plus it forces us to try new things. Along with the CSA box, Gazy sends out weekly emails with what may be in your box as well as recipes. They have a Facebook which is always updated with new recipes and their website as well has recipes, information and a veggie produce ID in case you have NO idea what is in your box. There is a delivery fee, but if you are like us and enjoy fresh fruits and veggies, the cost is still minimum in the long run. If there is ever a problem that you won't be home to receive your box, no problem, contact Gazy directly and they will deliver a different day with no issues. They are so helpful. We really enjoy this program and have gotten friends of ours involved as well. They don't live as close to us, so they use a different farm, but it's still a great thing to do to support your community. I have posted pictures of past CSA boxes.

I've been getting the Gazy CSA boxes for over a full year now and it's not an exaggeration to say…read morethat it has transformed my life. My meals are nutritious and colorful, I'm cooking more and having more fun doing it, and I hardly ever have to go to the store. Plus I'm eating better than ever before. I joined in the depths of winter, and even the winter boxes include a very nice mix of stuff (hardy greens, squashes, root vegetables, different varieties of apples). I've enjoyed making apple sauce, and just chopping up and roasting the vegetables as they come in and having them as is the first night and in soup or stir fry later in the week. Roasting vegetables with rosemary is a wonderful smell and warms up the kitchen nicely. But it's in spring and summer that things start to get really sublime. After the long winter it's heaven to enter the season of bright above-ground growing things: delicate lettuce and rainbow chard and scallions and spinach and mint and STRAWBERRIES. Spring is already such a blessed relief in New England and I don't know if I'd appreciate it fully without my CSA. Summer is just an embarrassment of riches with too much goodness to list. I don't know if there's anything better than summer tomato season, which seems to last forever. Week after week of the most flavorful, beautiful tomatoes you can imagine (plus all the other summertime lavishness). Last summer I was having sliced tomatoes two or three times a day and never got tired of them, and I even sometimes ate them whole like apples-- so messy but ridiculously delicious and luxurious. There is absolutely no comparison between these things and what you buy at Stop n Shop. It's as if they are from a different planet. Then in the fall, leek and potato soup... mmmm And besides the fact that they grow the best vegetables ever, the Gazy people are very nice and easy to reach on email or phone. And they bring everything right to your doorstep, a box of exciting surprises, like Christmas every week.
