    We had traveled to the Mystic area and tried one of their pops at a local restaurant. It was so good I spent the next few days going to gas stations, grocery stores and convince stores to try to find some to bring home. That led me to saying that it was only a 30 min drive out of our way on our long drive home. We stopped in and brought back a case trying almost every flavour we could. Everyone is a jem but the Root Beer, cream soda and peach were the favs in our house.

    This location was recommended to us by someone who lives in the area. There was an article in the local paper about it and they thought it was a restaurant. Well, it is definitely NOT a restaurant. More like a small warehouse, this company makes and sells their own sodas. Varieties of sodas offered include many you'd expect: cola, orange, root beer and so on, with a few less common one's thrown in as well as flavored seltzers. The bottle deposits are higher than the usual, and when you return them here, you get a full refund. I love to support local businesses and this one is a no frills option of tasty beverages we want to drink anyway. During our visit, there were folks loading up the car. Either they were throwing a party, or stocking up. Hosmer Mountain Soda provide cardboard holders for your selections. You will find them by the door. Mix and match flavors to your hearts content, as many or few as you'd like. Enjoy!

    Very cool that shops like this still exist. Birch beer is my favorite!

    Go inside and pick out whatever you want. It really is an experience that hasn't changed in a hundred years.

    Hosmer Mountain was my soda of choice growing up in NE Connecticut. Cola Red (a coke clone), orange dry, and birch beer. Good stuff!

    I can't fault the products (except for the corn which was terrible) or the service. Everyone there…read moreis very nice even if a lot of them still wear face diapers. What prompts me to write a bad review is their "Black Lives Matter" banner where you can't fail to miss it AFTER you have given them your money. That organization is disgraced for a lot of reasons including embellishment, fraud but its their central message that is rotten to the core. The BLM -- and those who support the BLM -- say that some lives are more important than others. That isn't true. They also imply that the lives of police officers are worth nothing at all. ALL LIVES MATTER! These banners with the fists in the air are implying that violence against police officers is OK. They are saying that any officers (even minority officers) who shoot in self defense against a minority suspect is racist. I guess even the Black Cops are supporters of this white supremacy movement that we hear so much talked about but see zero evidence of.

Frozen local meats in the back left corner that were intriguing. There are deals to be had if you're willing to take a minutes to peruse the booklets on display at the entrance. Kind employees, slighty aloof but charming, although I haven't required much service besides checkout. The 3 or 4 times I've been, there have been homeless or disenfranchised men outside but they've generally been harmless besides asking for cash. Just expect it.

    Red Barn Creamery and Sweet Shop (also apparently known as the Stearns Farm Stand) is part…read morecreamery, part bakery and part Farm Market. It's located in Storrs/Mansfield. The area is very cool. I parked roadside, but the entrance is around that side of the building and there was parking closer to the entrance. Out back, there is a great view of open land, grass and trees. There are a few chairs and benches and it's a peaceful spot to eat your food and let young kids run around. I bought an ice cream flight, two cookies, Silver Queen corn and heirloom tomatoes. I'm primarily reviewing the ice cream side of the business, but I'm factoring the other things in as well. Ice cream is always tasty, but I'd say the ice cream was about average for CT ice cream places making their own ice cream. I ordered a flight of Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Blueberry Cheesecake and Cow Palace. The flight came in a cup, rather than some sort of flat container that would keep the flavors separate. I feel like I had a good chance to try the Chocolate Peanut Butter (which reminded me of a Fudgesicle) and the Mint CC (which was kind of standard). The flavors below the top two, kind of blended into each other by the time I got to them. I picked up some cheesecake flavor and berry flavor and chocolate chips. All good. A highlight was the two cookies (a chocolate chip and a peanut butter chip). The kind person who helped me with my ice cream said she made the cookies that morning. My wife ate most of the cookies, but I tried both and they were fresh and delicious. I used a tomato for a BLT. It was good. The Silver queen corn was also good. Red Barn had a reasonably good selection of in season produce, baked goods such as pies, butter, milk, jarred goods. A good place to shop for stuff like that. Four Stars

There's a lot of nostalgia tied to this place, but the experience today feels like a shadow of what it used to be. The quality has dropped drastically. Service was, frankly, atrocious--slow, disengaged, and bordering on indifferent. The beer selection is still decent, but it doesn't matter much when every pour arrives tasting off. Whether it's bad kegs or hot glasses, the result is the same: lukewarm, skunky beer that's hard to enjoy. Food was another disappointment. Every item came out cold, and the flavors were on par with grade‑D fast food--bland, lifeless, and nowhere near the standard this place once had. Giving three stars feels generous, but it's a nod to the legacy Willibrew built over the decades. I truly hope they find their footing again, because right now, the nostalgia is doing all the heavy lifting. Ummmmm cheers I guess

If you are a farmer or an aspiring farmer yourself, you can also purchase your seedlings and plants here in the spring. You'll find seasoned farmers at this market as well as local youth who have lots of good, fresh stuff to share. Sometimes you can even get samples of the things you are interested in purchasing.
