    Such a lovely farm. I'm a professional photographer and loved going here for some dreamy family…read moreportraits. First time I was here I was just blown away, so the next session up I went right back. It seems very clean, they're open to the public and have probably the cleanest porta potties I've ever seen in my entire life. Bravo! I can't wait to visit for Apple picking season. Despite the one hour drive, I'll be back!

    They made us feel so welcome here when I came with a school group. A welcome sign and everything!…read more The farm is gorgeous with trees that just keep going. At the very back is a gazebo that a couple was using for an engagement photoshoot while we were there. Easy to see why when it's surrounded by rolling hills. The apples were ginormous. Like, gigantic. Especially the honeycrisp. I picked one to eat and could only finish half of it!! Prices are reasonable. The size of the bags are odd though....I got a bag that was supposed to fit 16 and it only fit 5. Huh?? Just readjust your expectations. They also have a hayride that takes you on a tour through the orchard and he talks about the history of it. Make sure you sit near the speaker since it's hard to hear over the engine. The store was stocked with the obvious. Apple cider, apple butter, caramel apples. There's also a little food truck outside. ALL fried foods so don't expect anything healthy. It was a wonderful experience!

    I've been back several times since their reopening for the season. I find this place and staff to…read morebe always consistent. As stated in my former review (s) you will never see stickered, dried up fruit or vegetables here. They only sell what they grow. Beware though that when the corn is in there are lines and it sells out VERY quickly. It's that good! These days I no longer cook for a family. So, I'm fine requesting short ears which may or may not be imperfect and a bit less expensive. Their melons, which have been turning up lately are so delicious! Prices are a higher than what you'll see in a supermarket. You are buying fresh picked, native produce. The corn you buy today was picked at sunrise - same day!

    It's great that this farm preserves open space. Driving down the hill from them towards downtown…read moreLeominster you see an impressive view of hills and Mount Wachusett in the distance. That's about all I can say for them. The prices are higher than at Dick's Market Garden in Lunenburg. Not everything is price marked either. I liked that they offered beets without all the leaves on them. Then I got home and opened the bag to find they didn't clean the dirt off the bottoms, great big clumps of dirt. Cooked them and when I went to peel them they were white inside. Beets might have white or pale areas due to nutrient deficiencies. They don't give you a detailed receipt so you can see what you bought for how much and comparison shop because they are more than the competition. More money for less.

    The product is overall great. The only problem I had was rotten raspberries with little white worms…read morea couple times. In all fairness, I never informed staff of that issue. 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.

    Very nice farm stand that is well stocked with the freshest produce. It is my most favorite place…read moreto shop, plus they accept SNAP and can process my HIP benefit.
