I don't know why I haven't written a review sooner!…read more I've been going to Scott's for years now - for berries, apples and pumpkins. I have little kids so it's nice to have the orchard and berry patches right near by. No need to take a long hike to the fruit. The staff and folks at the farm are super sweet. I d never had a problem with them. Quick to respond through FB messenger. And, pricing is fair for their produce. This year we decided to take our family photos with a pro photographer at the farm and Scott's was accommodating. We reserved our time slot and kept our masks on when around people. We were able to distance ourselves for our photos - no one bothered us. It was a success! Grabbed some pumpkins and cider donuts on the way out.

As newbies to the New England area, we try to immerse ourselves in whatever the area has to offer…read more After seeing multiple friends post recipes with local blueberries and raspberries, we made a mental note that we'd like to visit a pick-it-yourself patch and see how it went. Then one day we drove right by Grants, made a speedy u-turn, and trundled up to see what the deal was. At the front, there was a farmer's market of sorts with pre-picked produce at a slightly higher price, but with marked convenience. We were told it works by weight, and were handed baskets for raspberries, and buckets for blueberries, so off we went! The raspberries were first, with encouragement to taste as we went. The raspberries were plentiful, juicy, sweet, and soft, just bursting with flavor. After our baskets were full, we went to the blueberry enclosure, and had a great time picking the plump, tart berries in handfuls from the forehead height bushes, just teeming with the blue gems. There was also pick your own tomatoes and strawberries, but we were so excited to get home with what we had, it was enough for us! For two completely full baskets of raspberries, and a giant bucket of blueberries, it cost us a mere $7something. It would have cost us twice that at the market for just the blueberries! Cash only but a great price, and a super fun time, I would highly recommend it. Family friendly, easy access, and a perfect way to encourage healthy local eating, Grants is the best!

The produce and baked goods and eggs they sell are not cheap but you get what you pay for. The tomatoes are fantastic- no way you would buy one from the grocery store if you tasted these. I bought scallions and squash and lettuce and beets. The beets I just roasted and peeled and they are yummy. Take your kids do they can see a quaint family owned farm. I believe you can sleep over in the guest house, too. I attended their " Dinner on the Farm" event in August and it was spectacular- definitely go next summer if you can. It's a benefit dinner that all the food comes from either this farm or other locally sourced farms and fishermen. If you can't grow your own- go to White Gate.

If I could give WGF another half star, I would. The produce is beautiful and perfect and…read moredelicious. But oh, the prices! As far as I know, it is not certified organic, but the prices are higher than organic at stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. A very small cabbage was over $4. A bunch of radishes was $5.50. A 10-oz tomato was $3.99. The prepared foods are equally pricy, and vary widely in quality. A small tub of their "schmear", a mix of dairy and scallions that I add to potato salad dressing (it works well) is $8.50. A very small (for 2) peach galette was $8.95, but delicious and perfectly baked. A berry scone ($4.50) was a heavy lump of underbaked dough, a huge difference from the light, flaky, golden scones I get from Dagmar's in Old Saybrook. A ginger-pecan scone was better. A raspberry thumbprint "cookie" fell into pieces when I placed it in my pastry box ($4.95) -- it tasted good, but the texture was more like a lump of cold oatmeal. A single slice of house pizza ($7) made me sad -- the concept was good, but the broccoli was burnt and chewy. Most of their baked goods are too heavy and underbaked. The staff is friendly, warm, and welcoming, as well they ought to be. The parking is hideous -- cramped and inadequate, with no handicapped that I could see. The actual farmstand building is small, hot, and crowded at peak times. To sum up: I think most people assume the produce is organic, but there are no signs to that effect. The refrigerated prepared foods are generally tasty. The baked goods are a crapshoot, and at the prices, it's not worth the risk of their not being worth the money.

A perfect small‑town market with big heart…read more The Stonington Village Farmers Market is one of those places that instantly makes you feel lucky to live nearby. Every visit is a reminder of how vibrant and talented our local community is. The market may be modest in size, but the quality, variety, and friendliness are absolutely top‑tier. The vendors consistently bring fresh, seasonal produce that tastes like it was picked that morning--crisp greens, gorgeous tomatoes, berries bursting with flavor, and so much more depending on the time of year. You can truly taste the difference. Beyond produce, the market is full of local makers, bakers, and growers offering everything from fresh bread and pastries to artisanal cheeses, honey, jams, and handcrafted goods. There's always something new to discover, and everything feels thoughtfully curated. The atmosphere is one of the best parts: warm, welcoming, and community‑driven. Vendors are happy to chat, share tips, or tell you the story behind what they grow or make. It's the kind of market where you run into neighbors, linger a little longer than planned, and leave with both great food and a great mood. Whether you're stocking up for the week or just enjoying a Saturday morning stroll, the Stonington Village Farmers Market is a true local treasure. Fresh, friendly, and full of character--highly recommended. Cheers

Heard about this place over social media and I had to take a trip. It was about a hour ride for me…read morebut it was worth the trip. The day I went it was raining but this place is open rain or shine. Parking was pretty easy and there are people to guide you. You want to the front end and get your ticket scanned. They give you a token for 10 tulips and you go pick up your basket or bucket. There is a large field to pick your tulips. I suggest to walk around before picking. Once you view all the beautiful tulips then pick your favorite ones. Once you are done there are tents for you to wrap your own and have someone to wrap for you. I ended up wrapping my own. There are friendly staff to help guide you on wrapping. Over all it was a fun trip and I would do this again. Plus we got beautiful tulips just in time for Mother's Day!

This was so fun! I've always wanted to go as I've seen Wicked Tulips featured on social media every…read morespring, and I I'm happy I was finally able to go. It's $25 a person to pick 10 tulips at their farm, which I don't think is terrible. You have to make reservations in advance, and they would not let you park if you did not have a reservation already booked, so be warned! Once you check in, you're given a token for your 10 tulips. You can pick any of them minus what's in the show garden up front, but you can walk through there and admire the flowerbeds. I'm no florist, but I was really impressed with the tulips they had. Some of them didn't even look like tulips! I was also pleased to see that most of these funky tulips were available to pick outside of the show garden, so I made sure to get some! The farm is really big and there's tons of flowers to pick from. If you pick more than your 10, it's a dollar per stem. Not bad! I stuck to my 10, and when you're finished you can pay $5 for someone to wrap it for you (it's for charity I believe) or you can wrap it yourself for free. They'll tell you how to do it though, and they'll give you your flower care game plan for when you get home. I was really pleased with the experience and I would definitely go again. They also had a food truck and a cupcake truck that you could've ordered from! They also sold merch and some tulip planting gear. What a nice operation!
