My favorite fall activity is Apple picking hands down, and this is the perfect place to do it. I've…read morevisited a couple of times this season and I recommend coming almost as soon as they open in early September. When we visited later in the season to grab our pumpkin head pictures, the weather had pretty much knocked a bunch, if not most of the apples down off the trees. We went on opening day and got the most perfect Honeycrisp and jonamac apples! This was my first time having a jonamac and I loved the light sweetness of it. Honeycrisp are my favorite without question! The money apples! The larger apples seem to grow towards the top of the tree so being over 6 feet really helps here :) . I got the biggest bag size and it took a while before it was full, but it's definitely worth it in my opinion if you like to make baked treats or juices or cider. We also made sure to stop at the farm store and it was amazing to see everything laid out! There are so many things made in house here. They also have a cidery and it's full of merch too. We grabbed apple cider donuts and a half gallon of their regular cider. I would love to go back and grab the Honeycrisp cider when I get the chance!

I primarily visited Rogers to try their cider donuts, but I was drawn to the Apple Cider, Apples…read moreand Fritter Donut Bites as well. First of all, Rogers wasn't just an Orchard. It was a Hub of Activity. People met there on bikes. People were chatting outside. It was pretty impressive. I also loved the selection of apples. I'm not a pick your own guy, but I like being able to try a bunch of fresh apples. I was a fan of the Cider machine where you could get a fresh cup for a $1. I've had Rogers' Cider before, but not there. It was really good. Not too sweet. To the donuts. The cider donut was good -- obviously fresh. I actually preferred the Fritter Donut Nuggets. I liked the flavor better. I have a note though. Everybody loves that. LOL. I'm sure Rogers has been doing it this way forever, and there is a certain efficiency in doing it this way, but I don't love that the donuts are only available in pre-filled bags or containers. I have a family of 3. And I only wanted 3 donuts. One for each of us that day. But I had to buy a bag of a bunch of them. You can't buy them individually. I'll end up throwing away half those donuts. I don't love that. I also feel that pre-bagging the donuts in plastic de-values them. That's not a high end donut experience. It feels like buying a box of donuts at the grocery store. There. I said my bit. I like Roger's though. I probably won't buy a pre-filled bag of donuts again. I will buy cider, apples and fritter donut nuggets though.

Not a very good year for the pumpkins according to the staff so don't expect to take pictures in the pumpkin patch. They do have however a cute area setup in the front with a few props.

Large farm with infrastructure...and apples…read more Travel a little ways away from the fancy side of Glastonbury and you end up in the middle of a rural patch in ct. lots of farm stands dot the landscape, and one of those locations happens to be this orchard. There's paved roads, a large farm stand to buy baked goods and local farms other products, and a large awning queue line which takes you on a hayride to the orchard for picking apples. It's a bit commercial, compared to the smaller honor stands and converted barns that typically make up your farmer stands and displays. But by having infrastructure it allows one to experience the idea of rural life without much manual labor. The foods are okay, the real good stuff grows on the trees. But it's a nice place to make a drive to get a little bit of that New England vibe.

Have been splitting a CSA box this season with my sister from Deercrest. The boxes have contained…read morean abundance of fruits and vegetables for two people. I'm glad I have the box every other week due to the volume of food. The quality of the produce is lovely. The owner is friendly and accommodating when you have questions about produce and items currently not in stock such as hard cider. I have also purchased other items from the farm stand which I've greatly enjoyed such as cider, honey, maple syrup, date coconut rolls, additional vegetables for certain recipes, and additional 1/2 pecks of apples. Two weeks ago I was with my sister when she asked about a certain type of apple for drying. Unfortunately, that type had already passed the season. The owner suggested another apple which was just as flavorful. She purchased a box full which he carried out for her. I would like to add, be kind and patient with all local farmers. This is their life. We are all just visiting to purchase items we might otherwise buy at the market. Doing this doesn't make you better or more altruistic than anyone else. Nor does it give you perceived rights to behave in a manner that in retrospect causes you to look ugly. Show respect. Show empathy. Be considerate. Wear your masks correctly. Watch your children.

In any event, there was a good mix of farm vendors and specialty food vendors like More Pasta Lab, Pan de Oro Chips, Granny's Pie Factory, Ovelle Coffee Roasters and Whisked by Dani. There were at least a couple of food trucks. We bought some cookies, chips, and vegetables. It's definitely a market worth checking out if you're in the general Wethersfield area. 4 Stars

It was very manageably sized, with plenty of vendors, but not enough to make our visit unmanageable. We strolled the grounds, taking in the sites, and enjoying the live music being performed. With vendors selling a wonderful variety of Fruits, Vegetables, Meats, Dairy, Flowers, salsas, chips, baked goods, Italian ice, cheese, coffee, and pasta, you could easily plan a week's worth of meals right here. If you want pizza, there was a Square Peg Pizza truck on site. Oh, and let's not forget the dozen artisans and craftsmen showing off their hand made creations everywhere. And here's something you don't see at a lot of Farmers Markets - a massage station! We stopped at Whisked By Dani's booth and treated ourselves to two gigantic cookies, then we stopped at the Pan de Oro Chips and Salsa booth and guess what? We picked up a big bag of Mexican Street Corn flavored tortilla chips and two very reasonably priced jars of salsa (just $4 each). The Wethersfield Farmers Market's season ran from May 30, 2024, through October 10, 2024, on Thursdays from 3pm-6pm, so sadly they are done for the year. See you there next May.

Supermarket corn is ok, however, driving up to the farm stand & seeing someone walking in from the field with a basket of just harvested corn is the best. They have 3 kinds: silver queen ( that's what I call it), all light kernels - very delicate; butter-sugar which is a mix of the yellow & light color kernels ( my all-time favorite), and the all yellow - very good too. There are other veggies here too and flowers. Totally worth the ride over even if you live outside of Glastonbury.

Sure, you have, for a school PTO initiative, or in support of a kid's scout troop or marching band or Little League team, am I right? A few years ago, I bought a frozen pie from a co-worker and planned to put it out on our Thanksgiving dessert table. Well, that didn't work out because I forgot to take it out of the freeze! But even if I remembered to do that, I still would have been a "Fail" because that pie was uncooked and needed to be popped in the oven for 45 minutes. I totally missed that little nugget of instructions. Which finally brings me to Granny's Pie Factory in East Hartford. You don't need a master's degree in cryptology to surmise that Granny's Pie Factory sells pies, but what you might not expect is that they sell a large variety of fresh and frozen pies that are FULLY COOKED. Their website boasts 53 varieties of fully finished fruit and creme pies, either fresh or frozen. They come in a variety of sizes - 6 inch, 8 inch, and 10 inch. We picked up a frozen 10-inch Strawberry Rhubarb pie ($19). It was massive and seemed to weigh as much as a bowling ball. It clocked in at 2 pounds and eleven ounces. We sawed it in half and put it in our freezer for eventual use of one half a pie at a time. It is fully cooked and only needs to be thawed out to be enjoyed. No doubt we will enjoy it!
