Perfectly fine soft serve…read more This is very much a place you take the little ones to for that quick sweet treat. They got that custom mix soft serve machine which is pretty much like a blizzard that they mix flavor concentrate into rather than mix ins. It's a decent quality soft serve base, and the price is reasonable for the area. It's not award winning or great, but it's good enough. I would skip the flavors (lots of them have the extract problem where the concentrate has too much chemicals in it which translates to the ice cream). But it's quick and decent ice cream.

Theres always new flavors to try, although I am a big fan of Peanut Butter. There are always people there, but the service is quick and there is never a long wait. It's the perfect place to relax on a nice hot summer day. They have picnic tables to sit and enjoy on. The only trouble we have is soft serve ice cream tends to melt fast, so it's going to make a mess, so be prepared- especially with those sprinkles. Also, Free Sprinkles! It's the little things- kids love it and you don't feel like you are being nickel and dimed for toppings.

A beloved local bakery like LuAnn's. High end macarons like Mama's Macs. Fresh pita and hummus. A band playing. Lots of people coming together. That was the Ellington Farmers Market.

There's a wide array of local farmers, craftspeople, and prepared dishes to peruse and buy from. Everyone is very accommodating and knowledgeable in their craft. I especially appreciate the farm fresh milk options, the spices and sauces offered, and the local bakeries. They also do a winter market at the local high school, so they have markets still going on. A great place for a hand-made gift to give. I have been to bigger markets, but this one is just right in terms of size. Good people and good products

This market is outdoors, meaning less, if any, exposure, and these smaller, local farmers need our business, maybe more than the big chains.

This is a really nice apple orchard. They offer a wide variety of apples for picking. There's a…read moregood amount of raspberries still left for picking. There are also, pumpkins, peppers and pears that I saw. The apples are all clearly marked by type. I saw two coyotes running loose around this orchard today, they didn't seem interested in any fruit or people. The woods are right by the wired fence, I'm sure bears and deer also pop by. I enjoyed this orchard that's easy to navigate and has a good amount of apples and juicy raspberries for picking.

It is located in an old large farm building that provides a nice rustic farm atmosphere. There usually isn't a huge amount of produce to choose from, but what they do have is fresh and in season. During the fall I always get my apple cider from here and they even have hot samples on site. And we especially enjoy the garlic! It's much better than what you get in the grocery store. The woman who runs it also provides many free recipe cards! If you're in the area definitely check this place out. It's great to support small family run businesses like this one. While I've never done this here, I believe they allow apple picking during the the season.

Decent ravioli, not the best dine in experience…read more Came here as a lunch option for the area. The inside is well decorated and there was a lot of coolers with pasta and raviolis. We went to the front and ordered the butternut squash ravioli in butter sauce and their lobster roll special. Food came out in a reasonable timeframe, we perused the oils and vinegars while we waited. The lobster roll was a flop. Dry lobster on top of lettuce barely warmed on a non toasted hot dog bun. It's a ravioli shop, so I didn't have high expectations, but figured they have worked with lobster before so I had higher hopes The ravioli we got were also a pretty big flop. Raw uncooked pasta in broken butter sauce and no seasoning. The butternut squash filling was puréed to heck and reminded me of frozen butternut squash sides you buy from the grocery store. Not bad, but lacking. The fries and onion rings were good. Bagged but good quality, the highlight of our meal. The staff were friendly, and the space was small but cozy. I highly suspect the faults of the kitchen are mainly due to them not having dine in orders frequently. I would stick with the prepared pastas and make whatever you buy at home.

My favorite and everyone's were the manicottis, they were delicious. The gluten free chicken Parmesan was delicious as well as the gluten free penne. The gluten free shrimp were ok. I and one other liked them 4 others did not. They had a gluten free stuffing which was too heavy on the shrimp which were flattened for some reason. It took away the succulence of the shrimp and the gluten free stuffing needs some seasonings and not so much of it. The gluten free orange Italian cookies were fantastic! I loved them and so did most everyone. All in all they did a very good job and most of the fishes were great. I highly recommend them and would order gluten free itslian from them again especially those orange itslian cookies! Amazing!

MEAT. If you want to…read moreeat something that was mooing and chewing its own cud less than a week ago, get it here. Good produce too for those that aren't quite as ravenous for the bleeding flesh of local bovines. They've got most every steak-worthy cut - Tenderloin, Ribeye, Sirloin, Skirt, T-bone, etc. Burgers and Chorizo too. Their website states that their cattle are fed by both grass and grain, and are allowed to forage about the farm during their lives. So while their meat may not be labeled with any marketing-stunt nutrition buzzwords to make you think it's healthier, the cattle are clearly treated well at JT. You have the option of fresh or frozen, no change in price if I'm not mistaken. The frozen stuff is never held fresh for more than five days before freezing, and absolutely everything is vacuum sealed. Prices are good - I would say approximately on par with non-sale supermarket prices. But you'd expect that for meat this local and fresh. It's worth the extra few dollars and cents, right? "Right," you should be saying to yourself right now.

Strawberries - As of today, my strawberry flat is their Facebook cover photo. For $2.99/lb, it is a great price. You're getting a variety of sweet, tart, plump, large and small strawberries.
