I would love to meet on line the people involved with this farm, as my farm is also named Golden…read moreGoose Farm,. I am located about 100 miles SW of St. Louis, MO and made the connection when I placed an order with Harris Seeds, but didn't have my customer number, so I said Golden Goose Farm, and the response was: which one, Missouri or Virginia.? Whoa!!! There is another Golden Goose Farm???? An odd name for a farm. Mine was named for the loves of my life back in 1986 when this farm was purchased, GOLDEN Retrievers and Canada GOOSE (well, Canada Geese) . I also grow for market now, but my main thing since moving to the farm was cattle. Currently doing both. Many thanks to Harris Seeds for asking the question, which state? That question has broadened my life. Tina

We were running errands and happen to see this little farm stand. It was set up to be socially…read moredistant and allow for buying produce without having to interact with anyone. It seems to operate on an honor system. Obviously, I wasn't sure if someone else came around and touched produce they didn't buy, but at least we didn't have to be close to anyone. The process was quick and sweet and I've been wanting to come by again. Not sure if its up and available all the time, but hoping to be able to go by again.

There are places you go because you need something, and there are places you go because life is…read morejust better when you do. Messick's falls into that second category. You start out thinking it's just a farm market but inside, the place has all the usual farm market suspects--fresh produce, baked goods, meats--but then you notice the food counter. That's where things go sideways in the best possible way. The sandwiches are flat-out good, not "good for a farm store," but actually good. And the breakfast burritos are not normal human-sized food. They're the kind of burritos that make you reconsider your life choices halfway through eating one, in a positive way. Outside is where Messick's really shows off. Kids running everywhere, farm people doing what farm people do, and enough seasonal activities to keep families occupied until everyone forgets what time it is. It's the kind of place where parents sit down "for just a minute" and then suddenly it's an hour later and nobody is in a hurry to leave. If you're rolling in with a camper, it also works as a Harvest Hosts stop, which is a polite way of saying you can legally fall asleep there without anyone bothering you. Parking is easy in a grass-and-gravel area that's simple to level into, and once the day crowd clears out it gets quiet in that good country way. Verizon signal holds up well too, which is either a blessing or a curse depending on how hard you were trying to escape emails. What makes Messick's dangerous is that it's not trying to be anything other than what it is--but it ends up being more anyway. You go for a quick stop and leave feeling like you accidentally spent the afternoon at somebody's family reunion, except nobody made you help clean up afterward. In a world full of overcomplicated stops and underwhelming food, Messick's is refreshingly simple: good food, good people, and just enough chaos to make it interesting.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would…read more I am obsessed with this place. Their fall farmers market and activities are just amazing. It's 15 dollars to get in and there is so much for the kids to do. Even my teenagers had fun just picking berries and going in the maze. The people working there were so freaking sweet I just am in love. They had a "limited menu" of food but it ranged from chicken salad sandwiches to mozzarella sticks or a hot dog, fries were super crispy and fresh, and it was more than enough to eat and enjoy the scenery. You could pick your own flowers, pick berries, zip line, petting zoo, it was just awesome . So fun.

Produce section was very small. It's a good collection but definitely not the Amish/ Mennonite groceries of the Midwest!
