It is located in an old large farm building that provides a nice rustic farm atmosphere. There usually isn't a huge amount of produce to choose from, but what they do have is fresh and in season. During the fall I always get my apple cider from here and they even have hot samples on site. And we especially enjoy the garlic! It's much better than what you get in the grocery store. The woman who runs it also provides many free recipe cards! If you're in the area definitely check this place out. It's great to support small family run businesses like this one. While I've never done this here, I believe they allow apple picking during the the season.

Wonderful setup, wonderful vendors and quality local products…read more I went to the farmers' market last week to pick up some produce (fresh peaches for the grill!) and left with my fill of fruits, veggies, vegan goodies, handmade soaps and a renewed appreciation for the farmers and artisans in this fabulous community. If you have time, get your tush over to the market on Thurs afternoons. You'll find tents of live music, tons of local goodies (grass fed meats, cheeses, baked goods, etc), and representation from great organizations (even the Community Farm of Simsbury was there!) Such a nice late morning/early afternoon break!

What a wonderful farm! When we arrived, we were immediately greeted and had a friendly discussion…read morewith the employees about the proper way to harvest the tulips we had come to pick. Then we walked down to the lovely tulip field to pick our own tulips. While there are only about 6 rows of tulips, they are absolutely gorgeous. You're also allowed to pick the bulbs and bring them home with you, so I can't wait to try growing my own next year. It's a great way to spent an hour or so picking your own flowers and supporting a local business. I'll def have to come back for if they do other food picking later on in the year!

For several years I have been trying to convience Mark to get on board with joining a Connecticut…read moreFarm that participates in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) without much luck. However, the stars finally aligned this summer after he finally realized two things 1) We eat a ton (not literally...ok maybe literally) of vegetables year round and 2) He saw the diversity of produce one of his co workers' received each week from a CSA at Bishop's Farm last year. CSA programs provide a great opportunity that links the farmer directly to the consumer It's a great way to cut out the middleman, develop a relationship with a local farm and get weekly or or twice monthly fresh produce during the spring and summer growing season. Over the winter we signed up and paid a membership fee to buy "shares" for the spring and summer growing season. These membership fees do vary by farm and depends on things like production costs, what produce you receive, and growing season. Beckett Farm had the option of an early Summer Share and a Regular Summer Share. The early Summer Share ran from May to the end of June. Pick up throughout the entire season was on Mondays from 4-7pm. If they had "left over or extra" we had the option to purchase additional items. From the first week we knew that we had made the right decision - fresh asparagus, lettuce, radishes and beets were filled our first box along with lemon basil - a new to me herb. The difference between fresh picked asparagus cooked on the grill and what you find in the grocery store is like night and day. During the summer we opted for the Summer Share where received a box of produce every other week. We chose this option instead of the weekly share since it is just Mark and I we were not sure 1) how much produce we would get each week and 2) how much of the food that we received we would actually eat and how much would go to waste. I am happy to report that only about 5% or less went to "waste". The rest was happily eaten and some itemzs (like the snap peas and green beans) have been frozen for winter use. The produce varied from week to week depending on what was ripe and ready to be harvested. Some weeks we had a variety of different fruits and vegetables and other weeks we had a lot of the same thing. This was trulely an adventure and definately got Mark and I out of our comfort zone. It forced us to try things (like mustard greens and japanese eggplant) that we would probably not bought on our own. That's one of the beauties of Becktt Farm and CSA program in general - the ability to get fresh fruits and vegetables and a chance to expand your culinary horizons. I also loved the fact that I received an email each Monday before our pick up to let us know what would be in our shares. I can honestly say this was an awesome experience for Mark and I and we can't wait until 2013 to sign up again!

Love supporting this local farm: good produce, good vibes all around…read more Holcomb Farm is a nonprofit that grows without chemicals or pesticides. They sell homegrown produce, as well as dairy, meats, and goods from other farms. Their new space is nicer and bigger than the old one. And you can shop in the farm store without being a CSA member. You sign up for CSA membership before the season (the earlier you commit the lower cost it will be), and proceeds are used for them to buy seeds, maintain equipment, and for their staff. It's not cheap but if you're a member you're supporting a good organization and getting nutritious foods. As a member you have your choice of a specific number of items in the Farm store and then you can pick your own depending on what they have. When we picked, there were berries, flowers, herbs, and a few shishitos. There's a window to pick so if you go later in the cycle, things might be a bit picked over.

There are trails on the property open to the public, they also offer CSAs (community supported agriculture). They sometimes hosts classes and events. There is a seasonal farm store onsite. The store was lovely; I enjoyed shopping there. There were fresh produce as well as some dairy products, cookies, pickles, and more. They were offering free samples of watermelon in the summer. It's definitely worth a visit once they open again for the season!
