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.

When I think of summer, I think of ladies nights and charcuterie boards!! Charcuterie boards are…read moreone of my favorite things (to make too). When I heard Char-cu-te-rie opened up at blue rock square in West Hartford I knew I had to check it out. There was nobody there when I walked in and it took a minute for someone to come out from the back. They gave me a quick rundown. The space is beautiful with lots of room to hang out. You can gather friends or family and hang out in the lounge. They have different option boards you can choose from and you can either have it there or take it to go. I loved their cute little meat and cheese in cups that were in the coolers. There is parking close by with other shops around. I did not see seating outside.

Char-cu-te-rie sells a variety of beautiful hand-made charcuterie boards. Their product line ranges from a $12 Kid-friendly snackable with mild cheese cubes, turkey or ham roll-ups, apple slices, berries, and crackers all the way up to a 10-20 person monster sized $275 feast with 6-8 artisan meats and 5-6 curated cheeses, plus all the trimmings. We stopped in today and picked up an Amuse Board ($20 base) to bring home for lunch. The base price included "two artisan meats and 3 curated cheeses, paired with bread or crackers. Choose one or two from: seasonal fruits, nuts, or dried fruits, plus a dip or jam, and either olives or pickles". We added on a few things with $3 upcharges -prosciutto, pate, Manchego and blue cheeses, so that brought our total to $32. When we got home and opened up the box of goodies we were struck at what a beautiful job they did in packaging and presentation. The board was gorgeous and everything on it was as delicious as they were gorgeous. Since the boards are assembled by hand, it does take a while to put together all of the ingredients. Ours took around 20 minutes to build, but we were more than satisfied with the result. There is a counter where you can sit and enjoy your food there. They also have a lounge you can reserve for date night or a group. We were very impressed with our first visit to Char-cu-te-rie.

The Wade family still greets every visitors with impeccable service and a warm fireplace where the Family's cat can be found snuggled up.

It is still owned an operated by the Wade family. I drove by and saw the huge Wade's sign and a busy parking lot; it was spacious and easy to pull in and out, just becareful with incoming traffic. The outside area had various plants. When I walked inside, it was spacious and a very organized store. They had jams, snacks, produce, pies, baked goods, etc. I was gretted by the friendly employees. On this visit, I purchased strawberry-rhubarb jam, cookies, an onion, and corn muffin. Those were all very fresh and tasty. Everything in the store was fresh looking. I saw the corn after but was already out the door so I'm looking forward to going back for that.
