This review is based on my first visit for u-pick berries. I went for their red currants and blue…read moreberries. VT is the only place I found fresh currants so I was ecstatic to find a certified organic farm that grew them and were in season! +++ LRF is a family owned fabulous 200+ acres working farm in Monkton! Of that 90 acres is CERTIFIED ORGANIC, which has stringent requirements. I think it takes about 3 years and is an expensive process for farmers. They offer pick your own (PYO) berries (strawberries, currants, raspberries and blueberries), retail online and on-site for garlic, onions, tomatoes and other produce, pasture raised hen eggs and scratch made jams and CSA. They also sell hay to local farmers. Around here, customers, CSA included, come to farms to pick what they want. I called ahead and met Eugenia(sp?) upon arrival. She was friendly and showed me how and where to pick both red and black currants. Blue berries were not open to the public yet but she kindly let me pick a quart;-)). Their berries are high quality and after picking 3 quarts of berries, I decided I had an ample quantity....berry picking was addictive - LoL! + Price was reasonable. I paid $20 for 3 quarts of organic berries! TLR accepts cash, check and Venmo. + Parking if free ++ Eugenia was very kind and helpful! They are open May - October for PYO but CALL ahead and listen to their recording as their hours depend on weather changes and each crop ripeness. I left a voice message and Eugenia called me back after 90 minutes. Get some fresh air and enjoy getting farm fresh organic food!

I was fortunate enough to find this farm via the state's list of pick-your-own farms. They are a…read morefully organic farm, which is no small feat. Strawberries are the number one produce that is on the EWG's annual dirty dozen list, full of so many pesticides, that there's no way I want to buy non-organic strawberries (pesticides used for organic use are much safer). The farm has an excellent and safe procedures plan in place for COVID-19. You make a reservation in advance on the date you want, giving you two hours to pick as much as you need. They provide the cartons, which cannot be reused by anyone else due to safety measures. You will pay them via Venmo or credit card-no cash exchanges hands. So we decided on a sunny afternoon and donning our masks, headed out to the fields after we'd washed our hands in the outdoor sink, per their policy (excellent). One bonus to having a reservation, is fewer people picking at a time. We had several rows to ourselves and the owner Silas took the netting off of some patches for us and said we were welcome to move more, if we needed to. 70 minutes later, laden down with over 15 pounds of delicious strawberries of different varieties, paid the bill and headed home. These berries are amazing. I made: -strawberry lemon marmalade; -low sugar strawberry jam; -strawberry vinegar (and took the strawberries once the vinegar was fully infused and sweetened to make pie filling; -strawberry red wine jam and still have 4 cups to do with as I please! (still deciding) I'll definitely come here again; this is a wonderful farm in a gorgeous part of Vermont (couldn't all of VT though described as such)?

My boyfriend and I saw a bunch of signs on our way to Burlington saying "Pick your Own Flowers" and…read morewe were not disappointed! The signs led us to a patch of six or so sunflowers, all in various stages of bloom. Only $1 each, and we enjoyed such a delightful photo shoot. Super Covid friendly--you use the honor system and put a dollar in a wooden cash box for each flower you pluck. There was one pair of shears. Vermont is too cute!

We hiked our way up to the farm to catch the milking demonstration, very educational for youngsters. Staff at the farm were easy to talk to and kind to answering questions about the process of taking care of the animals on the farm. It was later in the day so we were catching mostly all the last parts of their demonstrations. If you don't mind a bit of a hike and the smell of the farm it's for you. I think it's worth an experience for younger generations for sure. Speaking of that, they also had an area in the chicken coop with toys to play with and books to read for young children. Growing up on a chicken farm helped me learn a lot about work ethic and how much we need farmers in our country the further we get into the future and have many rights of self-sustaining capabilities taken away from us through the government and big business push. I hoping for nothing but the best for their future and farm.

The best part of Adams Orchard and Market are the people--for the past three years I've come here and been wowed every time! While perusing the greenhouses, the family/owners are always happy to chat and share their advice on the plants and how to grow them successfully. The market is wonderful too! There're tons of fresh produce, local gifts and goodies, and an ice cream stand that makes the drive from Burlington well worth it. Everything I have every purchased from Adams is healthy, thrives, and bears good fruit (veggies and flowers too). I'm very happy to support this wonderful family business and will continue to as long as I live in the area.

We got some really great raw honey that was harvested the night before - great is an understatement, it was actually outstanding. We went through about 1/4 cup of it the first few days we got home. The produce was excellent as well - the best strawberries we had all summer in fact. We also grabbed a brushetta to go and that was eaten all too quickly. Would love to live in Vermont near this wonderful business. I hope it thrives because they have some really good quality offerings and like I said the woman who runs it was so sweet.
