Heron Pond Farm is incredible. First off, if you care about…read moreyour family and what you feed your kids than it's a no brainer to come here. This farm offers a huge selection of either their own grown or local grown fruits, vegetables, meats, cheese, CHOCOLATE, bread, coffee and quite a few other items! But the MOST important part is that Heron Pond Farm DOES NOT USE PESTICIDES. ZERO SPRAYING. ZERO CHEMICALS. (You cannot find this anywhere else, other local farms spray and use pesticides) Aside from having a huge selection of groceries offered they also have csa programs, they even offer a winter csa and it's great! The amount of food you get weekly is plenty (since starting our csa program we no longer go to the grocery store)!

We have been a part of a number of local CSA farms, and Heron Pond Farm fits our needs the best! It…read moreis like going to the store and getting what you need - except that all of it is grown right there on the farm! When you walk in, there are many choices to pick from - all of it fresh! That way I can pick what I need for that week and not get food that I won't use. The vegetables are always clean, fresh, and ready to use. There are add-on shares for meat and eggs that have been really helpful too. The staff are always very pleasant and helpful. This is a great way to feed you and your family and support a local farmer as well!

I wish I could find a better option for leaf dumping than this place. The guy who seems to run it…read morehas a quite undeserved arrogance about him. The help is a mix of nice and need personalities. I have spent $120 on bags there this weekend alone and still get hassled trying to drop them off. I wish there was a better option for leaf dumping. It causes me pain to have to give any additional money to these people. The problem is that they also know our options are limited so they can act this way. I looked at the pick up option and I still have to pay for their bags so why bother giving them an additional $50! I wish someone who actually cared about the community would take it over. Oh and as a side note- it says their dumping hours are 8-6pm. This is NOT true. I went this past Friday at 4:45pm and the gate was already locked. I went back to ask what time they lock up and the arrogant guy smugly responded "when it's dark out." I looked outside, and it was not dark- it was about 30 mins before it would be "dark" and I asked what time he had locked up that day and he said 4pm! It's not dark at 4pm yet! And there was nothing indicating this inside their stand because I looked when I had to go get gouged by these people and buy more bags.

I loved my sunflower field experience here! I can't believe it was fully dog friendly, so great! I…read morewent right when they opened at 9am and it was very quiet and peaceful for the first hour. The field is larger than I expected and the flowers are stunning. After walking through the flower field we checked out the bunnies and we even got to pet one. There's also a separate field of cut your own flowers, but I don't think those were sunflowers. I didn't try that experience but it looked fun as well!

I have been going to Raymond's Turkey Farm for years. And I mean years…read more We order our turkey for Thanksgiving every year and wait in line, well if you've been there, you know the drill. Hurry up and wait. But...the turkey is well worth waiting for. Juicy, tender delicious. I've read some other reviews for Raymond's and I think there are more factors involved than just blaming Raymond's for the way their turkey turned out. Overcooking, under buying the size, etc. In all the years I have never got a turkey that was dry and tough as other describe. I go during the year and buy turkey pies, but my favorite are their chicken pies. They don't always have them, so if you are interested, call ahead. They slice the chicken which I love. I think the slicing allows for more chicken in the pie than cubes. I want a chicken pie, not a gravy pie. The turkey is the same. Jam packed with turkey. I keep several in the freezer especially in the Winter. There are very few placed that have good turkey and chicken pies. Trust me, I've tried them all. They also sell sliced cold turkey, turkey salad, al the typical Thanksgiving sides, turkey meatballs, meatloaf, shepherd's pie, soups, turkey burgers, turkey sausage and various turkey parts. This is a place well worth trying, and if you go at holiday time make sure you are ready to hurry up and wait. They can't help that they are slammed with business at that time of year.

While we don't have churches dating back to the 11th century, this is as close as we Americans will get to our roots.

It'll have to wait until the next trip to New Hampshire.

Come check it out for yourselves. Big thumbs up to this place!
