The zucchini bread is amazing! Fresh and (as they claim) baked on premises. It really was balanced, soft but not too much so, and not terribly sugary for what I'm used to for an item like this. The meat section could source their meat more judiciously - the chicken wings I got were too large, and the skins on them were too fatty. They were priced well however. The biggest disappointment was that there weren't enough fresh items (for a store called "Fresh Market"). The leafy greens section of the store was fairly sparsely populated. The market should work to find some local producers (or at least closer to MA) and educate shoppers on the importance of fresh vegetables. It's worth seeing how they develop the store once business starts running.

Bought 2 subs. I chose the Italian and my wife wanted a cranberry walnut chicken sub. My Italian…read morewas very good but for $14, I thought it was overpriced for its size. My wife's cranberry walnut chicken salad sub was also tasty but the chicken salad was extremely sparse.... less than 1/2" thick for the length of the sandwich. For a $27+ charge, the sandwiches were good but overpriced for what we got. The store, though, is very interesting and I would not hesitate to buy some of their imported goods, but doubt that I would get sandwiches again. Too bad, I had high hopes. After living in Framingham almost 7 years, I have yet to find a great sub shop. When we lived in the North Shore, great sub shops seemed to be everywhere.

I can't walk past this store without getting a few too many goodies - it's not good for my wallet at all. Favorites here are the milk chocolate bark with pistachios, the strawberry stick, and far too many of the praline truffles. I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate and much prefer milk, even though the milk chocolate at most places tends to be cloyingly sweet - Laderach gets it right, not overly sweet but still rich. If you get a box of this chocolate, know that whoever gifted it truly cherishes you! Depending on who's manning the counter, you may be lucky to get some samples.

Better yet go down & see the wildlife & the picturesque Hager Pond that sits right behind the store. 3)The Building The structure was built in 1790 in Sudbury Center. Imagine this place was built just a few years after our country first began in 1776. It was formerly a General Store, School & Post Office. It was purchased & moved to this location by Henry Ford. Yes that Henry Ford of the Ford Motor Company. The foundation of the building was made from huge boulders dug up from the grounds, & the basement is supported by pillars made out of huge tree trunks. There is a secret located in the cellar. The stairs are hand carved from logs & the steps are joined together with wooden pegs. Mr. Ford had a way to detect burglars that predated burger alarms. What Henry did was to loosen the pegs in every third stair so they creaked. When someone stepped on them that would signal that a burglar was climbing the stairs.
