The girls first got to walk with the goats and play a fun game after a short hike. They then had the chance to hold baby bunnies and chickens. Bella shared so many great animal facts with us and was so patient and kind, answering our questions. This is an approved Girl Scout field trip spot so i would highly recommend this to other troops too. Our girls were 3rd graders, great age. We earned the outdoor adventurer badge by doing this today!

I have a life long love of museums...large, small, houses, animals, gems, history, science...they…read moreoffer something for everyone. I've seem plenty of small, 'home grown' museums in my life. More often than not, they are founded and maintained by a passionate group allied around a particular interest. Managed on a shoe string budget with lots of volunteers, they cater to a select group but desire to share their love of a subject or event to the world. The Middlesex Canal Museum is one of these establishments. This transportation corridor played an important role in early 19th century Massachusetts. Today, it has virtually disappeared from the landscape. Other than a sign at the Treble Cove Rd. exit on Highway 3, I doubt many even know this Merrimack to Boston canal ever existed. Unfortunately, the museum does little to connect the canal's history and relevancy to the casual viewer. The rooms that make up the museum are a mish-mosh of photos. laminated graphics, maps, text, and other bits. Its such a random assortment that the casual viewer is unlikely to get anything out of a visit. Still, the docents are passionate about the canal's history and do a better job informing a visitor about the canal's significance than any of the stuff on the walls. The mill complex that houses the museum is a nice piece of architecture and sits in a bucolic location along the Concord River. It's also a short walk to the North Billerica commuter rail stop. If you, too, love small, specialized museums, this is the place for you.

I'm not sure how David can say, "If you, too, love small, specialized museums, this is the place…read morefor you," but give it only two stars. This place is great, and I'll second the passion and enthusiasm of the volunteer docents. Russ was on hand for us yesterday, and he was an agreeable guide for us through the exhibits, which are lovingly assembled and curated. I have often wondered about the Middlesex Canal (living not far from its path in Medford), and this museum does a great job of explaining more about it, its route, how it came to be, and its eventual demise.

What a cute ranch!!! They offer free tours (you can select timed tours online or walk into the shop…read moreto rsvp in person). There are so many alpacas! The ranch separated the males and females. Alpacas shearing happened already (spring) so if you want to see them with full fur, staff told us to return in Nov. They are still cute :) Tour runs 45 mins long and we get to feed and pet them. I am so bad with names but I know one is called Summer. Two pregnant mamas and one baby on the ranch! On the way out, please put a donation in the jar or make a purchase at the store. Plenty of cute socks, sweater, etc. Please note that you will smell alpaca spit (or musty odor) when you enter the shop/ranch and even after you depart. Don't wear fancy clothes.

The owner of the ranch is such a genuine, friendly, and caring individual. She shared her story…read morewith us during the tour and you can really tell how passionate she is about this establishment and the alpacas. Most of the alpacas were friendly and you can clearly see how happy and well taken care of they are. I love visiting places where they care for their animals and treat them like family. Definitely a must visit if you're in the area. They do free 1 hour long tours, but donations are welcome. Make sure to make a reservation so they know you're coming.

I wish I could find a better option for leaf dumping than this place. The guy who seems to run it…read morehas a quite undeserved arrogance about him. The help is a mix of nice and need personalities. I have spent $120 on bags there this weekend alone and still get hassled trying to drop them off. I wish there was a better option for leaf dumping. It causes me pain to have to give any additional money to these people. The problem is that they also know our options are limited so they can act this way. I looked at the pick up option and I still have to pay for their bags so why bother giving them an additional $50! I wish someone who actually cared about the community would take it over. Oh and as a side note- it says their dumping hours are 8-6pm. This is NOT true. I went this past Friday at 4:45pm and the gate was already locked. I went back to ask what time they lock up and the arrogant guy smugly responded "when it's dark out." I looked outside, and it was not dark- it was about 30 mins before it would be "dark" and I asked what time he had locked up that day and he said 4pm! It's not dark at 4pm yet! And there was nothing indicating this inside their stand because I looked when I had to go get gouged by these people and buy more bags.

I have been a patron of Pete & Jen's mini-store for many years. It's a bit out of my way, but it's…read morealways worth the trip to get locally raised goods. The store is open year-round, 24 hours a day. While that may seem novel for a little shop that only sells fresh farm products, the even more novel part, is that it operates exclusively within the confines of the honor system. Of course, they have cameras set up, because even the tony community of Lincoln has its ne'er do wells. Nevertheless, if you need something at any hour, just fill out one of the shopping lists and drop it, along with your cash into the slot before you leave. It's pretty rare that I need emergency meat, lard, or eggs, but there was definitely one occasion, a holiday, when everything was closed, and I needed eggs, and the mini-store saved my ass (and also my dessert). As you might imagine, because this is all locally produced fare, you will pay more for it. Sometimes substantially more than your nearest supermarket, but if you want premium ingredients, and you prefer local produce and meat, this shouldn't come as a surprise. In fact, if you compare it with Whole Foods, you're not doing badly at all. The range of products available in the mini-store is much wider than it used to be, so rather than list it, I have included an image of their on-line inventory list. The list changes with current inventory, and is updated regularly, so if you're going after something specific, check there first. Time, and my budget preclude my getting here as regularly as I would like, but I'm always grateful to have Pete & Jen's as a resource.
