There is now a really successful and well run business in that spot. This is it!!! I visited today and was absolutely delighted to discover incredibly low prices with absolutely flawless produce. Mangos were 99¢ to $1.39 depending on size, a full pint of blueberries were $2.99, plantains were 3/$1, 4 mini cucumbers ended up being $1, tomatoes were $2.99 where folks at other stores charge double for the same thing!! I can't quote you on all the prices accurately, but if you know your fruits and veggies the way I do, you'll notice that the prices are generally 20-50% lower than other stores. Also - FRESH dates. Yeah. My American ignorance was challenged today, folks. I'm glad. The owner gave me one to try and it was great! I'm specifically writing this review because I really really want this business to thrive. Please go visit!! You'll be happy! :) The owner genuinely cares about the customers being happy, the quality of the produce leaving his store, and the prices are fantastic. What more could you possibly ask for?

Fresh high quality produce and an amazing selection for such a small place. If they don't have it you don't want it.

Westward Orchards used to be a quaint summer stop that became a traditional place to visit once a…read moreyear. It used to be a humble, neighborly and affordable place with kind service. The brands have changed. The orchards are overgrown and covered in poison ivy with no landscaping to protect patrons, not even warnings. They no longer prepare ordered sandwiches fresh or pastries and soups. Instead just throw together a couple premade soggy sandwiches. Who makes a turkey and ham with a piece of lettuce sandwich and charges $8? I don't know if management changed, but the delightful and welcoming service is now void. I felt as if I was a bother and got the drift I wasn't at all welcomed with underlying tones of "ok get what you see and get out." I miss the kind ladies from 15-20 years ago who treated you like old friends. I had driven about 20 miles, excited to visit this old orchard I adored for years as a summer day escape to refresh. I left feeling heavily disappointed, turned away and realizing the age of kind service, pleasant and genuine "how do you do's" are a thing of the past. The sadness leaving was palpable. I really used to love this place. I could tell the staff just wanted to do the least and clock out. It left a very poor taste in my mouth. Dare I say a broken heart. The soul is gone. I ask that I don't receive a response from ownership because it will just hurt more.

I was looking for a quieter orchard tucked away from the crowds (and yes, I realize that such a…read morething at the height of the season is nonexistent) but Carver Hill actually fit the bill. From Boston, it's a scenic drive out to Stow. I couldn't stop gushing over the foliage on the way there - I've turned into a total leaf peeper. Carver Hill is absolutely stunning in the fall, definitely worth a trip. Pleasantly surprised to find the lot half-empty when we arrived on the later side of a Saturday but then it filled up by the time we left around 3. To your right, as soon as you drive in, you'll see an area with pumpkins and the farm store - this is also where you get PYO fruit/veggies if you're paying with credit. If you have cash on hand, you can pay for a bag at the little stand right in front of the orchard. A peck (the smaller bag) was $25. I was a little skeptical at the size but it's a good deal if you really pack your apples in there. From there, the apple orchard. Not the biggest I've been to and the selection was understandably limited. We missed the sign to download the QR code for a map of the orchard and so had to rely on a photo of a thin pole with all the names/colors wrapped around it. Don't forget to stop at the store before you leave. I grabbed some pumpkin pie, jam, and an apple cider donut - they also have apple cider slushies and multiple flavors of ice cream. The donut was THE BEST, made fresh, almost falling apart, thick and generous coating of cinnamon and sugar (also tasted nutmeg and allspice in the coating). Absolutely worth waiting in the line for, but make sure to pay first and get a little yellow receipt/tag from the register before you get in line for the donuts.

The other produce has been beautiful and very reasonably priced. They take Snap and accept the HIP benefit, which is great. Most of the staff I've dealt with have mostly been cordial, pleasant and helpful however there is one person who is, well, by no means rude, but maybe curt is a good description? She certainly isn't warm, and every interaction I've had with her leaves me with not a very good feeling. It's hard to describe, but I'll give today's example, and you can judge the situation for yourself: I shopped around and brought my items to the counter, including produce and a cider. I asked the staff in question if she could add up the total so far. I told her I'm going to get more items. She must have recognized me, or at least the situation, as a Snap/HIP transaction, and told me the cider is not included in the 40$ HIP allowance. I thanked her and told her I know. I shopped around and brought more items to the front and asked her if I had grabbed a cider (because I forgot-and I actually meant the individual cider, because I wanted to get one if those too, so my bad I guess) and she said yes and again told me the same mini speech about how it's not included in HIP but Snap does cover it. Okay so I get I forgot I brought the cider/didn't get the little cider but she literally just told me it's not included in HIP. I did respond, yes I understand and I did hear you the first time. She told me a lot of people complain about that. I told her I'm not complaining, I understand. I mean it's not this like rude situation but it's just not a pleasure to deal with her. I'm not sure, but I think she's an owner. And now personal opinion based: I do feel it could be a situation where I'm being looked down for using Snap. I hope I'm wrong there. I personally feel that in my situation, Snap helps me a lot as someone on disability (I have cancer and kidney disease and would love to work, and am looking to start soon, but for the time being, this service truly helps) Again, I hope I'm wrong, but if anything is true in what I'm feeling here, not cool. You accept Snap and HIP, you're getting paid the same as anything else. Some more grace may be needed. There are a couple of lovely country stores down 117 in Bolton (Bolton Orchards and Deli and Bolton Spring Farm). They are so welcoming at both these places. Time slows down and it just makes me want to listen to Hank Williams and slow down a bit. I'm not sure if they take Snap or HIP, but it is a real pleasure to go to both those places. Go to Harper's to grab great produce, not for a gamble shot of good service.

As the name indicates, it is a…read morefarm; they have a farm stand with a lot of fresh produce and goodies, a greenhouse, and what I considered the main event: a flower (cutting) garden. I had no idea that cut/pick your own flowers was a thing, and I absolutely LOVE it - it is brilliant. The flower garden is a 2-acre field filled with a variety of beautiful flowers - very picturesque. These are, as I call them, the bougie, boutique flowers - i.e., not your average and not what you will find at the store. The field is easy to find, located to the right front of the property, so you do not have to go very far. They have a great system in place, both for the flowers and the cutting experience. There is a check-in stand specific to the flower garden at the entrance of the field that you cannot miss. There are two options for your picking size and price: a mason jar for $18.82 or a basket for $75 (2026 prices). They also offer a membership for the season that covers a mason jar pick each week. If I lived a little closer, it is safe to say I would absolutely invest in the membership. If you have the membership, you bring your mason jar back each week and check in at the stand. If you are there without the membership, they will give you a mason jar at check-in. They put some water in the mason jar for you so the flowers can stay hydrated as you pick. (I have since gone to another PYO flower garden, and they did not do mason jars or a container with water, so I think it's worth mentioning as it definitely makes a difference). When you check in, they will also provide you with the snips, and then give you any instructions or information. They also have a key holder/system in place - I am not sure if it is mandatory to leave your keys with them or not, but if you do, they will give you a number tag for when you are done. The field is pretty easy to navigate. The flowers are grown in long rows, and there is some signage indicating the type. I recommend wearing comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dirty. If it is a sunny/hot day, you will want to bring a water bottle, as it can get very hot. Now, the flowers - they are absolutely gorgeous. You have free rein and can pick as you wish. They do have some limits on certain flowers - for example, 5 stems for the dahlias, 3 stems for the eucalyptus, and similar for the hydrangeas - but there are plenty to choose from, so it is not limiting. You really will be amazed by how much you can fit in the mason jar. It was really fun to explore and check out all of the beautiful flowers. It is also really neat to see how other people build their bouquets. You can tell that some people have a vision and a plan, while others (like me) just go for it. All of them are beautiful, and you really cannot go wrong. I absolutely loved mine, and again, I was amazed at how many I was able to get in the mason jar - I put quite the mixture and they blended so beautifully. It was like a few bouquets in one. It really is a great experience, and the smile comes home with you every time you look at the beautiful flowers. I definitely recommend it and cannot wait to come back to do it again. When we finished with the flowers, we did check out the farm stand. It was towards the end of the day, so the options were dwindling (either because they were out or had been put away), but what we did see looked great and of high quality. Some prices seemed a little on the high side, in my opinion, but you are getting local, freshly grown, good-quality items. We got some peaches, a watermelon, and a bag of the apple cider donuts. I couldn't believe the size of the peaches - they were HUGE - like softball-sized. They were some of the best peaches I have had, and the watermelon was closer to how they used to be.

How have I lived in the area for 20 years, be someone who enjoys gardening and flowers and not been…read morehere before today?! I joined a friend on a hot and humid summer morning to indulge in the fun of unlimited time in the fields/rows of flowers. It's as simple as trading your keys for the loan of a set of "snips" and walk the fields, cutting what looks good to you and creating bouquets as you go. For $20 you can fill a mason jar, or for $75, you can have a basket that hooks over your arms to fill with as many stems as you can! There are limits to certain varieties- like only 5 dahlias, please. The rows are very obviously and carefully marked with any restrictions. I filled my jar with enough flowers to create two arrangements once I got home! I made the rookie mistake of trying to trim and arrange as I was picking- I won't do that again bc it limits creativity once you're home. Frejulian's offers a subscription to the farm so you can visit every week for new bouquets! This runs July-October. Frejulian's also has a robust fruit and veggie stand. The produce was more expensive than the grocery store but looked beautiful. I was not in the market for food today. The only negatives to the experience are choosing how to create your bouquet out of the multitudes of choices and while the bees are certainly needed for the pollination of these beauties, there are a lot. The friend I was with had been stung last week and was nervous about any repeat experiences. I will most definitely be back- this is a fun addiction!!
