I bought two dozen eggs on a 2 dozen for $15 deal. I also bought a huge gorgeous heirloom tomato, a purple radish which was art to witness once cut into, and a bunch of leeks. Everything was delicious, and the lady who helped us was extremely knowledgeable and friendly to speak to. We visited the animals outside behind the market afterwards. There were plenty of sheep, llamas and goats to see roaming around. They were friendly and grazing. I did feel bad for one of the goats who seemed to hurt his front leg though. I hope she feels better soon! Can't wait to come back when it gets warmer outside and spend more time with the animals!

We had driven by several times but never had a moment to make a purposeful visit. We certainly were not disappointed. The country store had plenty of gorgeous, fresh baked goods to choose from and also such a variety of produce. I bought some bright orange carrots and a cheddar and chive scone (which we since then have bought two more times because it's packed with flavor and delicious). There are so many other baked goods I want to try when I have the time to drop by and room in my diet...haha There is also a seafood stall outside the farm store which is year round mostly and looks to have good quality products. I can't wait to buy fish from them soon as well! Thank you so much Spring Brooks for existing and having genuinely delicious food and happy employees!

Honestly I love having such a great local farm store near me. They have everything from fresh eggs,…read moremeat, pies, baked goods, produce, honey, to artisan goods and seasonal items! I love going in the fall to get pumpkins and fall produce. When we went there were HUGE bins of apples outside, along with heirloom tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, and some fresh squash. It is a bit on the more expensive side but you're paying for quality and supporting a local business. I could spend hours here and still find more to love. They have something for everyone so I'd definitely recommend to stop by!

Wow! The produce alone is why I have decided to drive the 20 miles to shop here every weekend…read more Large, perfect and delicious! Although it is more expensive than you will find at your local market basket at least I can actually use 100% of the items, they aren't half wilted and rotten like the junk you get in a "regular" grocery store. Additionally find wonderful local and artisan cheeses, meats and baked goods- even seasonal candy and items. The floral and garden shop?? Just wow! So worth the trip and a little extra cost for high quality. A high quality small shop.

Westward Orchards used to be a quaint summer stop that became a traditional place to visit once a…read moreyear. It used to be a humble, neighborly and affordable place with kind service. The brands have changed. The orchards are overgrown and covered in poison ivy with no landscaping to protect patrons, not even warnings. They no longer prepare ordered sandwiches fresh or pastries and soups. Instead just throw together a couple premade soggy sandwiches. Who makes a turkey and ham with a piece of lettuce sandwich and charges $8? I don't know if management changed, but the delightful and welcoming service is now void. I felt as if I was a bother and got the drift I wasn't at all welcomed with underlying tones of "ok get what you see and get out." I miss the kind ladies from 15-20 years ago who treated you like old friends. I had driven about 20 miles, excited to visit this old orchard I adored for years as a summer day escape to refresh. I left feeling heavily disappointed, turned away and realizing the age of kind service, pleasant and genuine "how do you do's" are a thing of the past. The sadness leaving was palpable. I really used to love this place. I could tell the staff just wanted to do the least and clock out. It left a very poor taste in my mouth. Dare I say a broken heart. The soul is gone. I ask that I don't receive a response from ownership because it will just hurt more.

There was an open lawn and games like corn hole for waiting customers to play with. We were helped almost immediately by the servers which was great since we had our two active toddlers with us.

Our bill was brought to us right away and we were helped frequently through lunch. What more can you ask for?! Oh good music, they had that too :)

Apples are actually good tho. It is definitely packed but the crowd dispersed well in the field. Their cider donuts are soooo good especially when eaten hot.

Overall, a cute fall activity for friends and family and good cider!

Five enthusiastic stars! Eve & Murray's in Acton is hands-down the best hidden gem for sandwiches,…read morecheese, wine, and gifts. If you're looking for upscale boutique sandwiches, curated charcuterie boards, and a cozy atmosphere with owners who truly care, this is the place to go. My family and I discovered them a couple of years ago, tucked under the West Acton Village building, and they've quickly become our favorite sandwich shop and gourmet cheese market. My son, who is in college always makes a point to get their sandwiches when he is back home. Their sandwiches are upscale, boutique creations. Our family favorite is the Ploughman's Lunch: rosemary ham, mango chutney, pickled red onion, cheddar, and lemony arugula on a Portuguese roll. It's the perfect balance of savory, tangy, and fresh. Our second go-to is the Pig and Fig, which is just as delicious. They also have gluten free bread available. In addition to the sandwiches, their cozy shop sells cheeses (if you love blue cheese you have got to try Rogue River!!), charcuterie, natural wines, craft beer, and carefully curated accompaniments like jams and chutneys. I've gifted their chic napkins and artisanal jams many times, and they always make the perfect host or hostess gift. They even carry unique finds like Bret's goat cheese and chili pepper potato chips, which I can't find anywhere else! On Fridays, they even have free wine tastings, which are such a fun way to discover new bottles. The owners Dawn and Tamara (aka Eve and Murray) are incredibly friendly and passionate about what they do. You can tell they put thought into every cheese, wine, and gift item they bring into the shop!
