I go there middle of the day not a lot going on, as other posts have noted the lady working the counter was cold and not very welcoming, no hello or how are you when I walked in. I politely said hi as she picked up the phone, no response even after she hung up from her phone call. I inquired about if they were organic bc there is a sign that says hormone free etc, she just blandly said no bc they give their cows grain, and that was the end of that. They have good products but it's hard to support local farms when the people working there seem to not give a shit about the people walking in the door. Number one rule of sales: sell the company, sell yourself, sell the product. She didn't do any of these things. The eggnog is pretty good, really thick, I like it. But they could work on their enthusiasm for their customers, and customer service hell even a smile would have been nice.

At CHF, you will find a farm stand and a CSA as well as hiking trails, snowshoeing trails and cross-country options. A large variety of vegetables are grown here as well as some animals. The employees are always willing to take a minute to talk with you about their farming processes and life on the farm. There are many activities for children, families, and adults including young farmer programs, yoga at the farm, meet the farmer, running with the goats, farm dinners and more. It is a beautiful area not far from the center of town. The custodians of this farm understand their responsibility and take pride in enhancing the property both for now as well as future generations.

As they are famous for their peaches and apples at the local farmer's market, I really wanted to see the orchard itself as well as have an in-depth chat with one of the owners, Alan, who I got to know when purchasing their amazing produce. They have a really cute farm stand with lots of pumpkins and apples around this time of the year. You also have the option on going apple picking in the orchard and see how the different apples are grown. Alan, who usually doesn't take people on a tour around the orchard, showed me around and explained all their operations throughout the year. It was really eye opening to the farming industry around this region (compared to California where it never stops). Picked up some apples and cider, enjoyed the fall colors before driving through the back route where you can see the Boston skyline from quite a distance. Definitely recommend the non-touristy experience here.

Pretty…read moresmall by anyone's standards, there are about 7-8 vendors who regularly set up on a consistent level. If you are looking for fresh picked LOCAL produce, this is the place to come. Things get going the 1st week in July, and by the end of the month things are rolling. New this year are orchard wines from Hardwick Winery. One of the vendors starts growing tomato plants right after the Superbowl in January to give them a head start for the market.......Best vine-ripened tomatoes anywhere! The hours are 9:30AM to 2PM M-W-F, and the market runs from the end of June to the end of October every year...............

Set in the open Nevers Road Park, this market offers a variety local goods and a fun morning. When my friends and I walked over from nearby parking areas (which were plentiful and easy to get to), the smells of freshly cooked donuts from Faddy's Donut Shop and the sounds of a Grateful Dead tribute band met us. After grabbing some donuts, instead of sitting in the nice rest area set up near the band, we began down the line of stands. We found a little of everything we wanted and more!! We grabbed a couple slices of pie from Granny's Pie Factory, a brown butter dark chocolate chip cookie from LaBrioche Bakery, a couple of jars of homemade artisan teas from Whole Harmony, and a bouquet of freshly picked flowers from the Syme Family Farm. Shopping here can get a bit pricey, for example, a South Windsor Farmers Market tote bag was $5; however, you're supporting local businesses, many of which don't have storefronts. It's well worth chipping in a few extra bucks with the quality of the goods and the personal attention you receive at the stands. I would rather save my money and spend it here than at big chain stores that don't need it. Every vendor we went to, especially the individuals at the Syme Family Farm and the Whole Harmony stands, were extremely kind and helpful. The vendor of Whole Harmony allowed us to try a couple of teas he had out as well as the lavender lemonade (all of which were extremely delicious); he also told me how to properly steep the teas and gave me a loyalty card that offers a free jar after ten purchases. The vendors at the Syme Family Farm stand told me how they handpicked each flower, and wrapped up my bouquet--which was thoughtfully put together with care--and put it in a plastic baggie with wet paper towels around the stems to keep the flowers hydrated after I asked if they would be all right since we were not going directly home. I was very impressed by these two vendors' professionalism and kindness. The South Windsor Farmers Market is definitely a farmers market you need to check out!! It's open every Saturday in the morning (which is an extremely convenient and great time) from the middle of June until the middle of October. The organization running also has a list of what vendors will be there each week on a document on the website. You'll really enjoy every minute of being at this market, and you will undoubtedly find spectacular goods!!

Vendor choices include plenty of fruit and vegetable farmers, plus baked goods, grocery items, dog treats, ceramic tiles, flowers, seafood, honey, soaps, granola, coffee, spices and more. We picked up six apple cider donuts from Worcester's Crust Bake Shop and a bottle of fiery Black Sambal Indonesian Hot Sauce from Worcester's Bali Marle. I had a teeny tiny sample on a teeny tiny spoon and coughed for 30 seconds !!!!!! Can't wait to add some to my next stir fry. If you are ever in the area when the Sturbridge Farmers Market is open, you really need to work it into your schedule. It's that good !
