As they are famous for their peaches and apples at the local farmer's market, I really wanted to see the orchard itself as well as have an in-depth chat with one of the owners, Alan, who I got to know when purchasing their amazing produce. They have a really cute farm stand with lots of pumpkins and apples around this time of the year. You also have the option on going apple picking in the orchard and see how the different apples are grown. Alan, who usually doesn't take people on a tour around the orchard, showed me around and explained all their operations throughout the year. It was really eye opening to the farming industry around this region (compared to California where it never stops). Picked up some apples and cider, enjoyed the fall colors before driving through the back route where you can see the Boston skyline from quite a distance. Definitely recommend the non-touristy experience here.

We frequent Foppema's Farm all summer long. They typically open in early June and remain open until…read morejust before Thanksgiving, making them a staple of our warm-weather routine. Most of their produce is grown right on the farm, with the remainder sourced locally. We've found the vegetables to be consistently fresh and high quality, and the pricing is very reasonable. Their corn is a standout. It's fantastic once their own crop comes in, usually in early July. Before that, they offer very good corn from Georgia, and everything is clearly labeled by origin, which we appreciate. Come apple season, the selection is excellent, with a wide variety ranging from familiar favorites to more unique local types. We always look forward to opening day at Foppema's. It's become a bit of a seasonal tradition for us.

I also discovered a lovely nutty granola here that goes perfect with Greek yogurt and apples. There are nice spreads they sell here from Boston Fish Co. including smoked salmon pate. Between these "staples" and the array of cheeses, desserts, and pastas, I walk out with almost $100 worth of yummy local foodstuffs each visit. It's a fun thing to do on a Saturday morning/afternoon despite the decent crowd of shoppers.
