They carry Pasteur Rased Meats & Eggs. You can also pick your own flowers here. They also have a tiny Little Free Library. They have educational opportunities on this unique historical property. They hold Seasonal Special Events like Farm to Table, a Vegetable Harvest, Tours with chicken & pigs & cider & donuts, Cooking Classes, Holiday Wreath making & other activities. We stumbled upon this place by accident on our Ice Cream Adventures. We really didn't spend too much time here because other things were planned for the day. What we did see we really liked & will come back here another time to explore in more detail. What we did do was to check out their country farm store & picks up 2 pints of ice cream to go. The Mint Chocolate Chip & Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp were both Great! To make it worth your trip you can check out 2 other good places that are close by Ponyhenge in Lincoln - a Kitchy roadside attraction that's Free. There are Rocking Horses that mysteriously multiply & rearrange themselves. There's also Dairy Joy in Weston that's been there for over 60 years that has an old-school classic Creamsicle soft serve, Java berry & the classic marble twist vanilla and chocolate. See my reviews and pictures of each. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded.

They recently renovated, upgrading the charming farm stand to a full on rustic market. Fresh veggies, coffee station, frozen goods, jams, chocolate goodies and more. I usually come for the little walk around the farm to see what's growing, the u-pick flower garden, to swing on the swing set, and to see if any farm animals are around. There's a parking lot and picnic tables scattered around. Pricing is reasonable, u-pick is about $15, they used to charge by flower stem. They also host events and have activities for kids. Honestly, Weston is more of a suburb so it's a nice surprise for people when I tell them that there is actually more to see than large homes!

When we arrived to see the big rabbit there the girl that was tending to the bunny was rude to us and said to please step away as she was trying to get it to come to the front so she could place his food bowl inside? Then when the rabbit came to the front she tried to grab it but it ran away from her. My 27 year old Autistic son was trying to see it and was not standing too close but she said he needed to step away as she made it like it was his fault that the rabbit ran to the back again. I'm sorry? but that was just rude of her as we just wanted to get a close look at the cute bunny. She made us feel very unwelcome. I then said to my son c'mon let's go and told him we can come back on a Saturday or something when hopefully she isn't there and that other on-lookers will be there too! I said it right in front of her! We just live the next town over but imagine if we drove a long way and wanted to see the animals and check the place out and were told to keep our distance from the bunny? The rabbit looked just fine and probably would have eaten anyway if he/she was hungry. She made it run back by trying to grab it not my son being there just looking at it. Such rude staff they have there..we won't be back!!

As other reviewers have commented, this market is pretty small and limited. We walked around and finished up in less than 15 minutes, and that was only because we had to stop at the ice cream (Islander's Creamery) for samples. I saw two bread/baked goods, some meats, cheeses, hot sauce. A lot of it seemed more expensive than what I can find in the grocery store but still nice to walk around and support small businesses. Parking: I couldn't find any free parking except for street options. There's a municipal parking lot across the bridge where it's $1 for 1 hour on Saturdays.

Then we went under the tent area to set up our yoga towels (be sure to bring your own). We were then invited to carry the goats from the pen. I tried to do this but some of the baby goats are more like teenagers so they were getting pretty big. The yoga instruction was good and very suitable for the goat environment. The goats were moreso food driven then they were curiosity driven (which made this a bit different from puppy yoga) but still a cool experience overall. I think $30 is a good price for the experience and it's cool that the petting zoo is included as well.

Don't forget to try their potato blasting (if you hit the ghost sign you get a free caramel apple)! Once you're inside, the store is decked out with beautiful autumnal decor & all their fresh goods. I'll have to come back sometime to try their bakery items because they all looked delish. Everything is very reasonably priced which is amazing considering most items are either homegrown or sourced from other local farms. The main downside is due to going viral there are so many visitors and traffic control is little to none. Come early if you can or just hope you get lucky with parking. Even with two lots, you can easily spend over 40 minutes looking for parking this time of year.

I have now been four or five times this summer. They match up to 15 dollars a week at Lexington farmers market. You can use this money at any booth! Your only limit is that you can't buy hot prepared food. You can buy frozen tamales, frozen dumplings etc. go to the farmers market manager tent, present your food stamp card and tell them the amount you would like pulled off your food stamp card. If you decide you want 15 dollars, they'll match your 15! They give you paper money that doesn't expire, so if you don't spend all the money you can save it for next week or next month or whatever works for you. There is also another program that is included with ebt, right now it's 40 dollars a month (minimally, I think) that you can use at select booths (Kelley farms, busa, farmer Dave & I think stillmans farms, maybe another I'm forgetting) if you use this, you hand them your ebt card directly. They will run your card directly at the booth. The money you spend out of this 40 will be put back on your ebt card for the month. I suggest using this money first so you have time to use the replenished amount on your card. This does not roll over month to month, so use it up! Review of farmers market: I absolutely adore this farmers market. It's spread over a flat piece of field with tons of parking on worthen road. There are some booths that come every few weeks, but there are always great booths with produce, baked goods, dairy and fish. I absolutely love Kelley farms. It's an organic Asian greens and vegetables tent. The owners are a lovely married couple. We got the best bok choy and Chinese tomatoes. We got absolutely giant scallions that were delicious grilled, but are also so good in stirfry, quiche and salads. If you don't know what something is, ask! The owner will explain anything you need. She's great! She let me sample a tomato (it was pretty big!) and it was so so yummy. I bought a bag and immediately came home and made a tomato salad. Kelley farms is my go-to now, everything is so fresh, so yummy and elevates any meal your preparing. I got a (very affordable) pound of haddock that was so fresh and yummy. They were so welcoming and answered all my questions. Busa farms is always packed with delicious produce. The fruit and vegetable options are extensive. The booth always looks fantastic. They are so friendly. I forget which booth it was, but one booth has delicious scones and zucchini loaves. They are also very organized and have beautiful produce. The farmers market managers are always on site, so friendly and do a great job remembering returning patrons. On super hot days, they have staff handing out cold towels to the staff running all the booths and I love seeing that they take care of each other. For farmers market week they had performers for kiddos and live music. I appreciate the work they put into making this farmers market a community hot spot and not just another grocery trip. There are also art booths that come and sell handmade art. Last week there was a ceramics booth with absolutely stunning mugs, stoneware and art. Tania, (the woman who runs the booth) teaches ceramics classes in Lexington for both children and adults. 8 week sessions, very affordable. Tania was so friendly, happy to answer questions and welcoming. She and her husband made it clear that all art levels are welcome. I signed up for a session before I even left the market. I highly suggest Lexington farmers market!

There is no lack of fresh bread or baked goods for sale, and even some crafters at the market. And don't worry if its too hot outside because there is a gelato stand and plenty of stands that sell fresh lemonade. The place is always hopping even at 2pm or 530pm! I wish their hours were later because it was always tough getting here after work. There is plenty of metered parking on the surrounding streets and also right off the bike trail.
