    This is a newer Dollar General, most evident by one entire side of the store filled with coolers…read morewith lots of refrigerated goods. As long as you're not seeking super-special food items, organic items, or fresh produce, you can get a good amount of food products. This also includes a fairly large selection of canned goods and of course snacks. Prices will vary here - some sale prices are good deals, others less so. There's also a good selection of house products and health and beauty products. The weakest area was housewares and domestics. They were out of some things I know they carry at other Dollar General stores, and other sections needed straightening out. It was amusing seeing all the labels and stickers all over the floor. The floor wasn't necessarily dirty, but that stuff stuck to the floor might make you think otherwise. This store definitely benefits from not having any similar types of stores stores in the immediate area apart from the local Hannaord.

    What a great country store. It's been in the area for many, many years, but this is the first time…read morethat I've ever visited. Tons of gift items and tchotchkes everywhere plus some really yummy looking baked goods. It took every ounce of my willpower to not indulge in the cider donuts or double chocolate cookies or pumpkin pie or apple fritters...etc. Attached to the adorable country store is an equally adorable café called Lunch Thyme. They only serve lunch as per the name. Locals remember when they had a big breakfast offering back in the day. New owners are running a lovely, clean, fresh and simple menu as of April, 2022. I had a turkey sandwich with a side salad and homemade balsamic vinaigrette. Iced tea was just right and the portions were "normal". Nothing too overstaffed and I really liked the condiments. I tasted the quiche, macaroni, salad and cheddar broccoli soup. Everything is clearly homemade and quite delicious. Friendly service, nice people, good food, chill vibe.

    Once it was said to me: The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth…read more And then it was said to us: But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. Indeed, upon entering a new restaurant, we ask ourselves: Is it managed by The Wicked? Will they gnash upon us with their teeth? We choose to still take the risk. Will we will be gnashed to tiny pieces, or will we feast upon the fine goods of the earth? So, of course, this was the concern to be had top of mind upon entering Fo'Castle Farm and proceeding into the depths of Lunch Thyme. Indeed! Lunch Thyme is somewhat within the bowels, or--we might say--the entrails of Fo'Castle Farm, which is not to say that it is walled in and airless like a prison cell. The guest finds an open and welcoming space, a thick leather couch, many screened windows, and the vast smile plastered upon the face of the owner(s). Lunch Thyme welcomes its visitors into its warm and breezy arms. It offers a small but finely chosen selection of items. Quiche lovers, sandwich lovers, salad lovers, and soup lovers alike will find solace in the menu at Lunch Thyme. One can sample a roast beef sandwich on a tender ciabatta roll, a salad with roasted beets, or several juicy and meaty balls on a bread as if it were taken from Italy itself. And the prices. The prices, it may be said, are reasonable for the area: not a bargain per se, but nor does Lunch Thyme greedily tear away visitors' wallets to gorge itself upon their contents. In short, it is reasonable. That is it. That is it indeed. In a word, Lunch Thyme is reasonable.

    The quality of the floor tiles is a clue to the age of this store/building, but it's kept…read morerelatively clean. The organization is a bit awkward, with various supplies (e.g., lawn, and garden, items) scattered throughout, and lengthy displays in divider aisles creating zig-zag paths. Apart from learning a good pattern to go through the store, the inventory is pretty good, and there were many employees active getting shelves ready for spring supplies. It was also convenient that I had received emails with electronic coupons earlier that morning. There's certain things I look for at an OSJL, and once I found those, I was quite satisfied. Everything was well stocked. As is typical here, there were some great deals, and some maybe not-so-competitive ones. Checking out was a breeze with a friendly cashier. While my favorite Job Lot is the one in Ballston, this one is now the one closest to me, given that the Albany store closed a few years ago and has not reopened elsewhere. It's definitely worth my time to shop here.

    BEWARE the crazy deals you receive in your personal emails from OSJL does not apply to online…read moreshopping, even though you are directed by prompts from your personal email to purchase their crazy deal, only to find out after you pick up your product at store location from online order, paid in full, that the crazy deal doesn't apply to your online purchase because you signed in as a guest... no they send you an email and when you click on it and it automatically brings you to online shopping site as a guest and you make the purchase wait for it to arrive at store already paid for... to be given a phone number that tells you nope you don't get it. This is an outright scam and a nice undermining way to rob customers.

    One of the Greats - all-time greats, this farm / butchery kills what it sells - and appears to do…read moreso in a humane way. The meat is butchered beautifully from tail to snout and the items that i bought on a recent visit were all exceptional: - Skirt Steak: outstanding and juicy - I added a light coating of oil and salt, then finished on the grill with some smoked blue cheese on top - not sure if i ever had a better steak - Chicken Wings: simply seasoned and slow cooked on the grill with salt and some mixed seasonings my friend had in his cupboard - took on the texture of frying - and the quality of these wings is revelatory - Split Chicken Breasts (bone and skin in): similar prep to the wings and crisped up the skin on higher heat at the end - beautiful - smoked turkey, smoked ham and roast beef - sliced for sandwiches - the smoked meat tends to be a bit dry - so add some mayo or butter yer bread and then heat it first - but 1st rate quality - chicken feet for my dog - he's still dreaming bout these and for $1.50 per - get a bunch - they were just smoked - soft - they last for a long time and will harden, but my pooch ate em all quickly please go here. am absolute home run.

    I love Buckley Farm! Being minutes from my house, I cannot express how much I appreciate locally…read moregrown and sourced food! The farm is absolutely gorgeous to start with. They have a butcher shop and farmers market inside where they carry all sorts of meats and fresh produce, locally made baked goods, milk, the freshest of eggs, yogurt and cheeses! What a delight! Karen, the woman who runs the counter, is incredibly friendly and helpful! She goes out of her way to help her customers. I look forward to chatting with her every time I go. The one thing to be aware of though is that they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sundays. Tip for the wise: Don't go too late or everything will be picked over!
