One of my favorite farms in the Boston area. I had family in the neighborhood and that's how I…read morediscovered this gem that has been my go-to farm for over 8 years. They recently renovated, upgrading the charming farm stand to a full on rustic market. Fresh veggies, coffee station, frozen goods, jams, chocolate goodies and more. I usually come for the little walk around the farm to see what's growing, the u-pick flower garden, to swing on the swing set, and to see if any farm animals are around. There's a parking lot and picnic tables scattered around. Pricing is reasonable, u-pick is about $15, they used to charge by flower stem. They also host events and have activities for kids. Honestly, Weston is more of a suburb so it's a nice surprise for people when I tell them that there is actually more to see than large homes!

It's also a bit hard to maneuver in the parking area. Support your local farmers markets!

As other reviewers have commented, this market is pretty small and limited. We walked around and finished up in less than 15 minutes, and that was only because we had to stop at the ice cream (Islander's Creamery) for samples. I saw two bread/baked goods, some meats, cheeses, hot sauce. A lot of it seemed more expensive than what I can find in the grocery store but still nice to walk around and support small businesses. Parking: I couldn't find any free parking except for street options. There's a municipal parking lot across the bridge where it's $1 for 1 hour on Saturdays.

Then we went under the tent area to set up our yoga towels (be sure to bring your own). We were then invited to carry the goats from the pen. I tried to do this but some of the baby goats are more like teenagers so they were getting pretty big. The yoga instruction was good and very suitable for the goat environment. The goats were moreso food driven then they were curiosity driven (which made this a bit different from puppy yoga) but still a cool experience overall. I think $30 is a good price for the experience and it's cool that the petting zoo is included as well.

Wilson Farm is much more than a traditional grocery store or farm. We walked into a space that…read morefeels like a full farm market experience, with fresh produce, bakery items, specialty foods, flowers, seasonal displays, and locally sourced products all in one place. The layout is thoughtfully arranged, and the focus is clearly on quality and presentation, making it easy to spend time browsing rather than rushing through a standard grocery run. The fresh produce is the main reason we would visit. The selection changes with the seasons, and there is always something that stands out, whether it is fruit, vegetables, or specialty items. The produce section is one of the biggest highlights, with everything arranged beautifully and a wide variety that makes shopping here feel more intentional. The bakery section is another area worth checking out, especially for breads and pastries. Items like the olive sourdough bread and seasonal baked goods are the type of things that make Wilson Farm feel more like a destination rather than just a place to buy groceries. Beyond produce, the variety is what makes the experience memorable. There are sections for meats, seafood, prepared foods, desserts, flowers, and pantry items, so it is easy to put together a full shopping trip without needing to go elsewhere. The seasonal events are also a big part of the atmosphere, especially in the fall when the pumpkin displays and decorations transform the outside of the farm into something that feels like an autumn destination. The staff were friendly and helpful during our visit, which adds to the overall experience, and the store can get busy during peak seasons, especially around fall events and weekends, so parking and navigating through the crowds may take extra patience. Prices are generally higher than a standard grocery store, but the quality and selection are what make the visit worthwhile. Wilson Farm is one of those places where grocery shopping becomes an experience. The combination of fresh food, bakery items, seasonal atmosphere, and the farm setting makes it stand out. It is a place we would visit not only for groceries but also when we want to explore and pick up something special.

I have now been four or five times this summer. They match up to 15 dollars a week at Lexington farmers market. You can use this money at any booth! Your only limit is that you can't buy hot prepared food. You can buy frozen tamales, frozen dumplings etc. go to the farmers market manager tent, present your food stamp card and tell them the amount you would like pulled off your food stamp card. If you decide you want 15 dollars, they'll match your 15! They give you paper money that doesn't expire, so if you don't spend all the money you can save it for next week or next month or whatever works for you. There is also another program that is included with ebt, right now it's 40 dollars a month (minimally, I think) that you can use at select booths (Kelley farms, busa, farmer Dave & I think stillmans farms, maybe another I'm forgetting) if you use this, you hand them your ebt card directly. They will run your card directly at the booth. The money you spend out of this 40 will be put back on your ebt card for the month. I suggest using this money first so you have time to use the replenished amount on your card. This does not roll over month to month, so use it up! Review of farmers market: I absolutely adore this farmers market. It's spread over a flat piece of field with tons of parking on worthen road. There are some booths that come every few weeks, but there are always great booths with produce, baked goods, dairy and fish. I absolutely love Kelley farms. It's an organic Asian greens and vegetables tent. The owners are a lovely married couple. We got the best bok choy and Chinese tomatoes. We got absolutely giant scallions that were delicious grilled, but are also so good in stirfry, quiche and salads. If you don't know what something is, ask! The owner will explain anything you need. She's great! She let me sample a tomato (it was pretty big!) and it was so so yummy. I bought a bag and immediately came home and made a tomato salad. Kelley farms is my go-to now, everything is so fresh, so yummy and elevates any meal your preparing. I got a (very affordable) pound of haddock that was so fresh and yummy. They were so welcoming and answered all my questions. Busa farms is always packed with delicious produce. The fruit and vegetable options are extensive. The booth always looks fantastic. They are so friendly. I forget which booth it was, but one booth has delicious scones and zucchini loaves. They are also very organized and have beautiful produce. The farmers market managers are always on site, so friendly and do a great job remembering returning patrons. On super hot days, they have staff handing out cold towels to the staff running all the booths and I love seeing that they take care of each other. For farmers market week they had performers for kiddos and live music. I appreciate the work they put into making this farmers market a community hot spot and not just another grocery trip. There are also art booths that come and sell handmade art. Last week there was a ceramics booth with absolutely stunning mugs, stoneware and art. Tania, (the woman who runs the booth) teaches ceramics classes in Lexington for both children and adults. 8 week sessions, very affordable. Tania was so friendly, happy to answer questions and welcoming. She and her husband made it clear that all art levels are welcome. I signed up for a session before I even left the market. I highly suggest Lexington farmers market!
