    TFO is a wonderful farm! They offer the most amazing food! I've had their eggs, chicken, pork…read morechops, breakfast sausages & honey, just to name a few. Everything was absolutely delicious. I have also joined their "Rent the Chicken" program. I used to own chickens years ago and it was a lot of work. "Rent the chicken" was a super fun & easy way to have chickens and enjoy farm fresh eggs every day! I toured their farm and all the animals are in very spacious and comfortable living spaces. They are treated like LOVED pets! Also, the Templeton's are very friendly and professional. I learn something new about animals every time I go to TFO! The service is outstanding! Look forward to my next visit to the Templeton Family Organics Farm!!

    Last week, my husband and I picked up a chicken at Templeton Family Organics. It was, by far, the…read morebest chicken I have ever tasted! If you have never had a farm fresh chicken, it really is something to try. It is hard for many people to understand why there is such a difference in grocery store prices vs farm prices (and then, organic farm prices). It's worth it to me because the flavor is so insanely better than anything I have bought at a store. This meat is even better than the chicken we get from a local non-organic farm. The other differences I noticed is that the skin is much heartier. It does not split easily. It's a healthier chicken, so the collagen is not compromised. My proof is also in the bottom of the pan. There was not much fat once the juices cooled. They solidified into gelatin, which tells me the collagen is healthier. We both noticed when eating the meat from bones, the bones actually had flavor! So, I cannot wait to get another one and make chicken stock from the bones. Also, the chicken was very big. I was under the misconception that only GMO feed and steroid injected chickens get that big at that young age. Not true. What is true is that all parts are proportionately large. As opposed to grocery store chickens that have huge breast meat areas, and the other parts are small. This chicken clearly got great exercise. We also got a sugar pumpkin. It was wonderful too. Some pie pumpkins are very hard to cut into, the skin is like bark. These pumpkins cut well, roasted well and had a nice autumn flavor. I will be making my pie soon. We ordered a turkey for Thanksgiving. I am very much looking forward to it. The turkeys are raised the same way the chickens are, and I am quite certain the flavor and quality will be unbelievable.

    I think Steve is a gentleman farmer. Not that he is a gentleman. In fact, he is nothing at all of…read morea gentleman. He is rough, and grubby and he tends to be rather foul mouthed and sometimes offensive and rude. But I still think he is a gentleman farmer and I will continue to do so until someone explains to me otherwise. Basically, he has the touch when it comes to food. He gets it, and in turn it gets him. The result is that his vegetables taste the best, and that is why I get up at 8:30 on Saturday morning to be at the Union Square Farmer's Market by opening so as not to miss anything he brings. Need I say more?

    I come from a family whose approach to vegetables can be summarized as "Boil it for an hour, until…read moreyou're sure it's dead and won't jump up and bother you." This works well with potatoes, but considerably less so with other veggies. Several years ago, I saw a flyer for the Parker Farm share at the Harvest Co-op Supermarket. I decided to take out a share, and it was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. Stephen's farm share is one of the best values for money I can think of, if you live near one of his drop-off points (or even if you don't). Even with a small share, you will spend your summer trying to figure out what to do with all the fresh, locally grown produce that the share provides. I solved my "I have too many vegetables" problem by sharing my share with friends. Getting a farm share with Parker Farm is like getting lots of birthday presents every week, except they are all vegetables. Thanks to being one of his farm share customers, I have tried out many vegetables that I would not otherwise have tried, and have discovered that I actually like some of them (beet greens), as well as discovering that some vegetables are beyond redemption as far as I am concerned (collard greens, I'm looking at you.) Fortunately I have been able to pass along what I can't/won't eat to friends in the area. If you take out a farm share, you will also be learning a great deal about what it's like to try to farm here in New England. One year, a series of torrential rains washed out all the sprouting corn in Stephen's fields. Another year, Stephen had to let go many of his workers, and one week, we all showed up for our farm share, but no Stephen. (He made it up later, in case you're worried.) By the way, his Facebook page, which you can view by Googling "Parker Farm, Lunenburg," is a total hoot. And if those photographs of Stephen with mud on his jeans up to his knees do not convince you that farming is damn hard work, nothing will.
