I got some giant leeks, mushrooms, and plums here which I ended up using for a few different recipes, in addition to some other items.

Not only is their beef all grass fed and delicious but it's at a very reasonable price too. My go…read moreto place for meat now.

Speyer's is my current local business obsession. I discovered this Farm Market a couple of months…read moreago and have been back weekly (at least) since then to stock up on groceries. They have a bunch of homegrown produce, other local produce, flowers, pickles, local bread, cheese, eggs, etc. There is plenty of parking, things are priced great, the staff is super friendly, and there are a few adorable market cats often so you can tell them how adorable they are. I am sad that cherry season is over but I'm still stocking up on green beans, melon, plums, kale, etc!

They have some of the best products, prices and atmosphere. Their workers are all amazing and the family that runs it are so sweet and I have enjoyed living down the street from.

Heidi's is a hidden gem that has a superb bakery and produce department. Donuts, turnovers, muffins…read morecinnamon rolls and pies are about as good as you can get and very, very fresh. I especially like that we can buy a half pie. We did just that today. We now go one or two days a week and enjoy our treats at the picnic tables outside. We've also begun buying a few produce items here such as lettuce and tomatoes. Even though Heidi's is a little out of the way, the trip is worth it even with $4.00 gas.

We pulled up at 8 AM to get some donuts. The place was hopping! We could hardly get a parking spot…read more When you go in you are greeted by all kinds of fresh made salsas and jams. There is a whole wall of baked goods like pies and danishes. But the star of the show are the donuts. Homemade and fresh. A dozen of these beauties are less than $14. I'm writing a separate section on the cinnamon rolls. I happen to be a cinnamon roll Connoisseur. They are handmade, stuffed with cinnamon, not too sweet, with just a drizzle of icing on top. Perfection. There was a separate nursery with plants over on the other side of the building. We did not go over there, but it looked very intriguing. When we're in the area will definitely be back.

Also a variety of handmade goods and merchandise in their store as well. I found this gem this spring and am becoming more obsessed with them by the day - also, sign up for their newsletter for stories of happenings at the farm and for wonderful bios as well as crop highlights and recipes. They do everything right - if you need assistance, you also get a prompt and friendly response as well. Please try them - you won't be disappointed!

I paid $6.00 for one of their watermelons and it was way too OVERripe! I had to throw more than…read morehalf of it out and am NOT happy. They should have thrown these out instead of selling food that wasn't fit and ripping people off. I also asked the lady working in the vegetable stand if their produce was organic and she stated it wasn't. I won't buy any foods from the dirty dozen list unless they are organic. I am glad she was honest about it but I am not subjecting my loved ones to the risk of cancer because of pesticide laden food. I think all growers who care about their customers would be focusing on growing foods that are free of toxic pesticides.

There's a greenhouse full of flowers, plants and herbs. The general store looks like a clean barn full of produce and canned goods. We picked up a pint of cherries (so good!) and left with a jar of pickled asparagus too. There's a credit card limit of $5 so go in willing to spend more. Service is great and friendly!
