I love this Farmers market. I live about a half mile away so I can walk there on Saturday mornings…read more Intimate vibe, fresh fruits and veggies from local farms, and lots of organic choices ... also fresh fish and bakery yummies. The shopkeepers and customers are friendly and casual. Live music in the background from local bands.. pottery, jewelry and food stalls. Ashland worked very hard to make this excellent market and they make it even better every year. Highly recommend.

The Framingham Thursday afternoon Farmer's Market is sooooo cool…read more There's fresh produce (of course), and lots of other cool things, AND FOOD TRUCKS!!! Friendly, happy, sweating (how do they do it?!?') food truck operators offering their bites and treats on a HOT summer night! It's outdoors, with plenty of shade, and hopefully(!) a breeze! I say give it a try!

I recently purchased the last two eggs in the fridge and they were light yellow. I get fresh eggs from other sources, and these were horrible. I also grabbed a bag of Hogan's Coffee off the shelf and didn't check the expiration date. The coffee had been expired for 2 months. I'm not sure what is happening at the farm, but check all expiration dates if you shop there.

It's a bit smaller than Quincy, but still had a lot of great shops. I ended up having tamales from Mr Tamole and Noodle lab. Bathrooms were clean and there was sufficient seating area.

Great market! There are so many vendors of so many types of things for sale. From jewelry to home…read moredecor, coffee to cheese. On Saturdays, the farmer's market happens on the street right outside of the public market so you can purchase fresh produce at great prices ($0.99 for a pint of raspberries!!) However things don't stay open late so it's more of a place to visit during lunch. Also, prices for food are a bit on the higher end. A fun stop to buy some goodies and have a look around at what local vendors have to offer.

I decided to take a short drive towards Bolton to see the fall colors and visit this farmstand…read morebefore they close for the season (reopening next summer). As they are famous for their peaches and apples at the local farmer's market, I really wanted to see the orchard itself as well as have an in-depth chat with one of the owners, Alan, who I got to know when purchasing their amazing produce. They have a really cute farm stand with lots of pumpkins and apples around this time of the year. You also have the option on going apple picking in the orchard and see how the different apples are grown. Alan, who usually doesn't take people on a tour around the orchard, showed me around and explained all their operations throughout the year. It was really eye opening to the farming industry around this region (compared to California where it never stops). Picked up some apples and cider, enjoyed the fall colors before driving through the back route where you can see the Boston skyline from quite a distance. Definitely recommend the non-touristy experience here.

There is no fancy donuts or anything like that here, just apple picking with some tables around the property to stop for a water break or maybe a snack.

Loved the international women's day event…read more The issue I have with this place are the prices. I bought a dubai chocolate bar there that I felt was going to be really high quality when the craze started for $20. I saw the same exact bar in another store for $10. I've seen similar situations with other products. I feel the markup is excessive here and it's scammy.

Wilson Farm you've done it again! We look forward to coming back every year because their fall…read morevibes & family fun are immaculate. No pumpkin wall this year, but they still had their apple cider donuts, caramel apples and photo ops. Don't forget to try their potato blasting (if you hit the ghost sign you get a free caramel apple)! Once you're inside, the store is decked out with beautiful autumnal decor & all their fresh goods. I'll have to come back sometime to try their bakery items because they all looked delish. Everything is very reasonably priced which is amazing considering most items are either homegrown or sourced from other local farms. The main downside is due to going viral there are so many visitors and traffic control is little to none. Come early if you can or just hope you get lucky with parking. Even with two lots, you can easily spend over 40 minutes looking for parking this time of year.

Seasonal farm stand run by a family (144th year according to their website)…read more Veggies, beef, eggs and thanksgiving turkeys! I've always wanted to order one, I think i will this year after reading the reviews. Small dirt parking lot for approx 10 cars maybe? I love driving by this farm everyday and seeing the corn, cows, pigs and occasional turkeys! It's so peaceful and serene. The small lake/pond and rolling hills are like a postcard! Check it out in the fall! From their site: We offer our own grass-fed beef, pastured pork, Thanksgiving turkeys and farm fresh vegetables, as well as our own honey, maple syrup, stone-ground corn meal, firewood, and other products. In the fall, we have pick-your-own pumpkin days. We have several greenhouses, which help us to stay a few steps ahead of Mother Nature.

Did I really make a one hour drive just to pick up some of their pie? Absolutely, and I will…read morecontinue to do so whenever I can! Around Christmastime, a family friend brought over a box of one of Davidian's blueberry pies. None of my family members have a sweet tooth, making us a bit picky when it comes to desserts. We each had a slice after our holiday dinner and could NOT stop raving about how good it was. We immediately took a picture of the box label so that we could remember to stop by there ourselves and pick up some more. While my family and I live about an hour away from this farm, I have to make work trips to the Worcester area every now and then, which gave me the perfect excuse to swing by on my way back home. I grabbed two, a blueberry for my family and an apple one as a gift for a friend. As we were cutting up some slices, my parents and I kept making little jokes that perhaps we'd over-exaggerated to ourselves about how good the pie actually was, as it had been more than 3 months since trying it that first time. Nope! Was literally as delicious as we'd remembered, perhaps even better. The filling is absolutely amazing-- just from taste alone, you can tell that the blueberries are high-quality and sourced directly from their own fields. The entire pie was gone within one night, so I definitely should have bought more, LOL. Typical store-bought pies (you know which ones I mean-- the ones with the artificial, over-processed "fruit" filling) don't hold a candle to Davidian's!

Most underwhelming experience I've had at an apple orchard. I came here on a weekend in early…read moreNovember because they were offering half-price apple picking. I got a small bag for $12.50 which was a great deal. I had no problem with parking. I got a good amount of apples, although I wish the signs for the types of apples were clearer. The main reason my rating isn't higher is due to the policing near the exit. I've been through security at concert venues that were less scrutinizing. When I was leaving, an employee was near the entrance was inspecting the wagon of a family with multiple bags. I didn't hear the entire conversation but I did hear the employee lecturing them about not overfilling the bags. The employee also said to not reuse the bags (something that could be prevented if they wrote the dates on the bags as other orchards do) and understandably the family said they wouldn't come back. Even though I wasn't the target of the apple police, it created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The best part of my visit was the cider donuts. The farm store was disappointingly small with mainly apples and cider available for purchase. Considering the plethora of options for apple picking in MA, I don't plan to return here.

Lovely experience Apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards this last week…read more Service was great all around despite over an hour wait for the cider donuts (which were most definitely worth the wait). Apples were extremely tasty with great variety and plenty of ladders for picking. My only fret was that the signage at times was not the most clear. And the best part: the ambiance of it all. Perfect cool day in Mass with all the Fall colors and families having a great time... it was such a positive atmosphere. Would totally go again.
