I love to the light decoration on the trunks outside during the winter season. It's like a beacon for drivers. If you see the lights you already know where you are.

Our toddlers met Santa and Mrs. Clause, enjoyed delicious hot chocolate and fresh donuts, rode in their barrel train (WITH SANTA), and enjoyed strolling through their indoor market. All staff was SO friendly and nice. Truly felt like I could stay here all day. Toddlers and adults had a fantastic time and are looking forward to coming next winter season. We are very excited to come back during the warm spring and summer season to see what's in store! Definitely check out Fair Weather Acres!

Pho, bahn mi, and milk tea are the tip of the iceberg of what's offered here. There's a plethora of delicious food options, loads of vendors and lots of people. They got a band playing in the main thoroughfare and karaoke towards the tail end of the night. We tried a smattering of dishes, ranging from mini shrimp pancakes, scallop noodles served in the shell, Takoyaki and meat skewers, grass jelly and lotus sticky rice. Each one very fresh, lots of flavor and a good price for the portion. The only dilemma being parking and the crowds. It's gotten very popular as of late, so if you don't go early they can run out of food. During our brief stint, they were out of sesame balls and onigiri, with lots of places running low on supplies. It's a fun experience and worth a try if you manage to get a chance to come there. It's a great community deserving of the popularity and it's a great fundraiser for the local church. Go in with an open mind and enjoy the adventure!

So much fun! I went with a group of friends who had been before and was glad I did. We arrived over…read morean hour before opening and the lines were already starting to grow. I tried a little bit of everything and took some food home for tomorrow! I will definitely be back next year as everything I ate was delicious and I ate until I was stuffed.

For my purposes was good enough to get some farm fresh veggies as well as Grandma's blueberry pie.

Also worth noting the market is only there Tuesday's and Fridays I believe through the summer and early fall.

Not the price they were a year ago, they offer freshness, decent prices and tax free, However no credit cards accepted.

I is great to support our own and what beats the fragrance of the flowers that fill the car as you head home to create a beautul something? Bring a wagon or good walking shoes as you will make a lot of "to the car" walks as you gather the variety of offered items.

The food I've gotten has been fresh and delicious in my recipes. Some vendors are organic others are just local. Either way local is best.

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.
