All have been worth, but Oxen Hill Farm just puts a real personal touch to approach. Full shares, for big families (4+) and Half shares for smaller (less than 3); generally from June to October. A Fall extension is available for an additional price. If we can't eat our share before it goes to wast, then items are prepared and frozen, dehydrated and vacuum packed, or canned. Due to the interest in our Town we are afforded an in-town pick-up on Thursdays evenings. However, trips up to the Farm are always nice on a Saturday morning. At the Farm, you have a bit more choice than the in-town pick-up and you have browse through their nine herb beds and rows of flowers for the pick'n. Special purchases are available, too, my favorite the 20 pound cases of super ripe tomatoes. This has become my WeakEnd Warrior Passion once a year. Sauce and lots of it; basically a years worth. This year we ordered five 20 pound cases, plus about another 10 pounds from our garden. Equating to 45 quarts of frrrrresh sauce jared and sealed over a two day Saucy Fest. With Oxen Hill, it's all about fresh: Corn, Lettuces', Potatoes, Yams, Squashes, Tomatoes, Kale, Swiss Chard, Beets, Cucumbers, Garlic, Chives, Garlic Chives, Onion, Beans, Melons, Pumpkin, and so on!

They offer German white hardneck garlic, seed garlic, garlic bulbs, and garlic braids. The farm stand is in an old tobacco barn. I went a couple times and thought it was awesome. The prices were great and they had a huge variety of produce. One time, they posted on social that the flowers were free to pick. If you love fresh produce and supporting a small business, I highly recommend.

"This is the end Beautiful friend…read moreThis is the end Of our elaborate plans, the end" (The Doors) The Garlic Farm's season will end on October 12th, when their doors will be closed for the winter and reopen in the spring. But the end of their season comes with a fantastic bonus for anyone that can get over to West Granby before October 12. That bonus is as many flowers as possible that you can cut and take home from their acres of flower farms. For Free. We saw people out there today with shopping bags, and laundry baskets scooping up their share of gorgeous flowers. Although some of the flowers (especially the sunflowers were way past peak), rest assured there were a ton of gorgeous fresh flowers representing every color of the rainbow still available. We cut and took home enough to fill three vases, of which we kept one and donated the other two to the local Senior Center to brighten the desks of two administrators. So, if you are in the area and have a hankering for some free flowers, set your navigation system to West Granby and enjoy. Just do it before October 12.

Brookfield Farm is our CSA…read more What is a CSA, you ask? Community Supported Agriculture. Basically, you pay the farm some cash, and they grow food. Tons and tons of food. Organically. Biodynamically. Locally. Then, they pack up a ton of boxes and send them off to the Boston area, where you can pick up your box. Every week, from June to November, there is a box full of tasty, fresh, local veggies waiting for you. It can't be beat. They are really good with telling you what you are getting (this is particularly helpful for those who are not veggie geeks). They put out a newsletter each week telling you what is new on the farm, what new foods you will see in your box, and they even include recipes. Because now that you have a four-pound bok choy, you need to figure out what to do with it. If you live closer to the farm, you can pick up your food there, and you can stop by for all the pick your own goodies (strawberries, peas, flowers). We will definitely do this again and would recommend it to anyone!

I can't wait to make my sauteed veggie bowl of onions, garlic, swiss chard, canellini beans and shitake mushrooms (from Urban Artisan Farm booth) with two poached eggs.

It's definitely worth a visit once they open again for the season!

It was nice to bring my 2 year old and let him run around the farm. The produce was great quality, and organic from what I've read. Sadly, we wasted more than we ate. You pick a lot at one time, and must eat it quick or it goes bad, and being a full time working family, we found it hard to find time to prepare everything. I won't be signing up again next year, It's not the farms fault, but my own. I would like to visit once in awhile next year, and just buy what I need at the moment.

Here's what I love about it: - the corn maze is challenging but still fun for everyone - kids and adults alike! I love that there's an option to track yourself in the maze via gps/on a website. The tracking isn't 100% accurate but is good enough to help you figure out how to get out. - We almost always go on Columbus Day. Because it's a holiday weekend they typically have live music. - they include a tractor hay ride with admission, as well as hay bales for the kids to climb on and other fun lawn games. - there is food, snacks and a small farmers market/produce stand. - Admission price isn't too bad - $19.95/adult and only $4.95/kids. - there's sufficient parking! If you're in the area - or even an hour drive away - The Farm is a great place for Fall fun for the whole family!
