Highly recommend getting their desserts in their dessert case to try, the cheesecake caught my eye and I'm so glad I brought it home! So delicious! I love Mill Pond!

For more years than I'll mention in this review (I've shopped at Thompsons forever), I have…read morepurchased horse grains, hay and shavings from Merritt Thompsons. The store is centrally located on Route 195 in Mansfield Depot directly next to a railroad spur. Thompsons has been operating at this location offering animal feeds and assorted animal products nonstop for many years. It is a family business and the younger generation now also works in the store taking orders and helping customers. My purchases are almost always for my horses, dogs, fowl, cats and other animals. Thompsons also offers a superb line of wild bird seed, feeders, houses in addition to grass seed, peat moss and just about anything you could use for your yard and more. For a good many years now, Thompsons has a lunch counter that serves up the best sandwiches. Priced right, the hungry luncher can get a fine selection of tasty treats to satisfy the appetite. Guaranteed to please anyone who likes a well-loaded sandwich, try Thompsons for a great lunch - you have to take it with you thought - so far, Thompsons does not have a dine-in area. No matter, just enjoy! To make note for fellow horse and animal folks, Merritt Thompsons has fair prices on all their feeds and I've rarely known them to be out of a particular grain that I need for my animals. They have an excellent selection of brands for all farm and small animals. Your purchase is efficiently rung up and all grain is brought to the loading dock and placed into your vehicle. Stop here, and check out Merritt Thompsons some time if you haven't already. You'll be glad you did. It's a gem of a store, fast and efficient, well stocked with courteous help, and fair pricing.

I met the new owners, Amber and Jeremy, truly nice people who are thrilled to bring the store back to life, and passionate about their venture. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well stocked the store was with food and sundries. It is no secret that I love seeing local businesses succeed. The coffee and pastries were an excellent value. I did not see prices on the beer and wine. The is plenty of parking and a couple of picnic table under an awning to eat at outside. Please take the time to stop by and sample what Old Furnace has to offer. You will be surprised and delighted by what you find. They will begin selling ice cream and sundaes soon.

I also like how the store is organized, so it does not feel cluttered despite having lots of neat things to look at. They did receive five stars because they have several gluten-free options, which I am always super excited about at a small store.
