"Come a little bit closer Hear what I have to say…read moreBecause I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon" (Neil Young) Want to experience a quintessential small town New England Fair? Well, you sure won't go wrong checking out the Granville Harvest Fair. It's open three days on the Columbus Day Holiday Weekend, from October 12-14, 2024. The fair is spread across multiple locations and there is a shuttle bus connecting the various lots and locations. You'll see hundreds of vendors selling crafts, food, woodworking, clothing, art, books, and more. Alcoholic drinks are well represented, with locally brewed beer from Skyline Beer Company, wine and "slush wines" from Hardwick Vineyard and Winery in Orange, and Mead and Honey Wine from Granville's own Daggers Meadery. Ever have a hankering for maple flavored cotton candy? Well, you can scratch that itch here. Ever want to take a tour of a 160-year-old drum factory? Granville has one. Want to check out a quilt display? Gotcha covered here. Want to hear a pretty good four-piece rock band belt out a very respectable live cover of Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good?" Yup, it's on their playlist. Want to spend a beautiful time in an old school New England town full of friendly people and gorgeous scenery? Well, by now you know where you can.

We really enjoyed the viking theme and even tried on some of the funny costumes. They need something to serve non drinkers/designated drivers.

From June to October, they sell naturally grown (no chemicals or fertilizers) fruits - strawberries, blueberries, Raspberries, apples, rhubarb, and melons. During the summer, you can buy cut flowers, bouquets, and garden plants or even attend a class or workshop. Some of the flowers they sell are cosmos, zinnias, dahlias, and sunflowers Year-round maple products are their specialty - pure maple syrup made on-site, maple sugar candy, granulated sugar, maple cream, maple jelly, and maple lollipops. Their sugarhouse was built in 2005, and the first bottles of syrup were made in 2006. We visited yesterday, because yesterday was the second Saturday in March, and that meant for the 19th time it was time for their Annual Maple Festival. Admission was free, and let me tell ya, the Sugar House was packed. We saw how pure maple syrup was made, sampled some maple syrup and maple cream, checked out their big selection of maple products, and enjoyed their warm hospitality and some live music. They were selling pancakes, sausages and (of course) fresh maple syrup, and I peeked into their open kitchen and saw a young lady diligently cooking sixteen perfect pancakes on their grill. The Maple Festival is a fantastic look at a New England tradition! Mark your calendars for next year, but feel free to visit anytime and take home a bottle or jug of pure sweet maple goodness.

"Lazing on a sunny afternoon In the summertime, in the…read moresummertime" (The Kinks) Spending a few sunny afternoon hours at the Westfield Farmer's Market was a great choice on a gorgeous summer day. They are open every Thursday from12PM-5PM between June 5th and October 16th, and this was our first visit. We found it on Court Street on the grounds of the Episcopal Church of the Atonement. You'll find it easily - just look for the trade show booths and tents. Parking is plentiful on any of the adjacent side streets. The market grounds are well spaced and were quite enjoyable to stroll around and browse. We saw vendors selling produce, flowers, dairy products, jams and jellies, raw honey, cider, meads, maple products, breads, baked goods, coffee, crafts, and lemonade. We even saw a pizza vendor with a mobile pizza oven! Oh, and there was live music too. We usually gravitate toward the food vendors, so yesterday was no exception. We bought a delicious Blondie from Sarah's Gluten Free Baked Goods, a decadent Cinnamon Roll from Sweet J J's, and an amazing container of mixed mushroom shapes and sizes from South Hadley's Livingstone Mycology. I've never seen such a rainbow of mushroom colors, including yellows and pinks. I can't wait to toss them in a frying pan with some oil, soy and Hoisin sauce, a spoon of Chili Crisp, and a handful of shrimp! Well done, Westfield Farmer's Market. See ya again on a future Thursday afternoon.

They have a big selection of spices and sauces, offering something for everyone, whether you like to keep it simple or try new flavors. They also feature local foods, including fresh seasonal produce from nearby farms. They offer small to-go meals, but we didn't try any on our visit. The guy working there noticed we were just passing through and kindly let us use their clean and comfortable facilities. We had a great time checking out all the different spices, crafts, and fun little items they had on display. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! Be sure to ask for a business card, or should I say envelope with a little gift inside.

I have driven by this hidden gem so many times and I have always wanted to stop. Yesterday I got to…read morestop!! They have so many amazing choices of different foods from local companies and businesses. Everything from soup and pies to marshmallows and chocolates. I got to try peach soup that they were making! It was so unique and delicious! They also had ice pops with so many delicious flavors!! The owner was so nice. I work with autistic children and the owner was telling me they have high schoolers with special needs come in for a few hours to learn how to cook. So amazing!! I can't wait to stop back !!

Outside, there were mums, gourds, pumpkins, etc. We scored some gourds for a dollar each. Inside, it was a lovely place to shop. They had premade soups, pies, meat pies, a bakery, fresh produce, honey, jellies, soaps, shirts, etc. The place was definitely popular, people were in and out constantly. We bought some pastries (pumpkin muffin, blueberry muffin, cake pop) and it was good! The only thing I don't recommend were the cider donuts, they were kind of dry. The cashier was okay, kind of dry also lol, other than that, a good place to get some fresh eats. I'd definitely visit often if I was close by but I'm lucky to have a bunch of these types of stores near me already.

I personally like the smoothie style fruit bowls, which are a lot like a sherbet, but made with other delicious ingredients . You can add granola, extra fruit, or many other options. I also have an allergy to cinnamon, so finding that their granola does not have cinnamon, was a bonus. Honestly, my smoothie bowl with extra fruit and granola on top was cheaper than what other places charge just for a smoothie. There are places to sit inside or you can call and have an order ready to go. They take all major credit cards or Apple Pay. This was my first time here, and I am super glad that I tried it out.TIP: it is in the back part of the convenience store plaza. . You do have to drive around to the side to find it.!
