As newbies to the New England area, we try to immerse ourselves in whatever the area has to offer…read more After seeing multiple friends post recipes with local blueberries and raspberries, we made a mental note that we'd like to visit a pick-it-yourself patch and see how it went. Then one day we drove right by Grants, made a speedy u-turn, and trundled up to see what the deal was. At the front, there was a farmer's market of sorts with pre-picked produce at a slightly higher price, but with marked convenience. We were told it works by weight, and were handed baskets for raspberries, and buckets for blueberries, so off we went! The raspberries were first, with encouragement to taste as we went. The raspberries were plentiful, juicy, sweet, and soft, just bursting with flavor. After our baskets were full, we went to the blueberry enclosure, and had a great time picking the plump, tart berries in handfuls from the forehead height bushes, just teeming with the blue gems. There was also pick your own tomatoes and strawberries, but we were so excited to get home with what we had, it was enough for us! For two completely full baskets of raspberries, and a giant bucket of blueberries, it cost us a mere $7something. It would have cost us twice that at the market for just the blueberries! Cash only but a great price, and a super fun time, I would highly recommend it. Family friendly, easy access, and a perfect way to encourage healthy local eating, Grants is the best!

This is by far the best "roadside" stand I've ever been to. As a native food connoisseur, I've been…read moreto almost every farm stand in CT. It is huge for a farm side stand. They also have four giant greenhouses and sell the most gorgeous and unique hanging baskets, and all kinds of annuals and perennials. In spring they have strawberries and you can even pick your own there. After that comes their blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, peaches, nectarines, plums, apples, pears, and pretty much every veggie you can ask for. They grow all their veggies right there and on their farm in Deep River, where you can pick your own of all the above, it's SUCH a cool place! And huge. Their daily fresh native corn is unbeatable. We stop by almost every night to get some for the grill, they close at 6 so I make it just in time. They open around 8 or 9, and during the season they don't close on holidays, it's great. One of my favorite parts, though, is their pick your own flowers field. One of the employees said there are over 200 varieties of flowers to pick from, and they do it by the pound! Which is unique, but it is SO cheap! And since they are fresh, they last up for 2 weeks if I change the water every couple days. And you can make a bouquet prettier than any flower shop around, a great idea for husbands to stop by and take a few minutes to pick for their wives and surprise then ( hint hint :) It is SO cool, you have to see it. The other really unique thing about this place is that they grow acres of sunflowers that you can see from the road, it's like an ocean of sunflowers, it's incredible. They sell them for $10 a dozen and 100% of the proceeds go to an orphanage in India. The family that owns this farm is just incredible, the owner has been a part of our community since the 80's and is a respectable, old fashioned farmer that can be seen sometimes when you stop by the stand. His name is Winston, and he will literally tell you anything you want to know about the farm, the way he grows things, or any kind of growing questions. And the staff is super friendly and accommodating. They always either bring my plants to my car without me asking or offer, and they are all really knowledgable about the fruit and veggies and the plants. Bottom line, this place is not to be missed! They have the freshest and most affordable fruits and veggies around. They grow a lot of unique types and varieties of veggies that you can't find anywhere else. The staff is super helpful and accommodating. After you check out the farm stand, definitely check out the actual farm in Deep River. In the fall they do hayrides with Clydesdale horses. There's so much stuff, and it's definitely a family place.

He made this whole experience so much sweeter for my girls! We had a blast chasing him around the gorgeous rows of vibrant flowers and filled apple trees. We could've stayed for hours playing with him alone!! We purchased mini apple cider donuts the girls gobbled down in two seconds flat. They LOVED these! $4 for a bag of a dozen, fresh and hot off the press sugary, perfectly snack sized donuts. They also offer grass fed beef, pork and chicken. We met the owner who kindly poured us samples of their delicious fresh, raw cider and showed us the original mill which is housed in their awesome, simplistic barn. (If you're traveling, remember to bring a cooler with ice as the cider is unpasteurized.) She also suggested I purchase a "Long Island Cheese pumpkin" which I had never heard of before! Have you?! She gave me instructions on how to bake it and make what she said will be the best pumpkin pie ever! (I'll keep you posted). She also gave me some local suggestions on things to do (Old Sturbridge Village, Mass) which we did and had a fantastic time! Thank you!! Prices we thought were very fair and it feels so good supporting small, hardworking business owners. This farm is on the smaller size, but it's absolutely full of that unmistakable pure New England charm and quality goods! We would come back here in a heartbeat and had a VERY memorable, awesome first trip! If you're in the area or maybe looking for a weekend escape, this fabulous farm is located in a quaint town that offers so much, yet is so far away from it all. You won't be disappointed making an entire trip out of heading this way.
