There are more than 300,000 Sunflowers to pick from and the it is three dollars per person for entry to the cutting field and three dollars per flower. My mother and I had a wonderful time at Buttonwood Farm. There were plenty of Sunflowers to choose from and it's definitely for a good cause. I would suggest wearing a hat because it can become very hot and there's not necessarily paths to get to the Sunflowers. You would have to through the Sunflowers to get to some the Sunflowers. It was definitely fun and we will definitely be back.

It is exactly as advertised- a sunflower field where you can cut your own sunflowers. There is…read moreparking along the fields. It's a $2 suggested donation to enter the field and $2 for each flower on your way out. As much as its a suggested donation, you must pay as you enter and they arm you with a plastic bag to help with your flowers. They also have a set of sheers there for you to borrow on your visit. Now- there aren't clear walking paths. It's just you fighting your way through the sunflowers and some will be taller than you! It's beautiful but hot in that field! I can share my 10 year old's allergies started bothering her out there and my Mom said it was too hot. We clipped our flowers, took a few photos and headed out. Upon exiting we simply paid (cash) for out cut flowers. They had a nice classic truck parked out front-awesome for photos. we did not cross the street but they said they had sunflowers that came in different colors but were probably picked over at that point. It was a nice family activity but be careful- easy to lose children in these tall flowers!

Super kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable customer service. A wide variety of yarn, roving,and…read morefinished objects to choose from. They also had local food options: cookies, ice cream, honey, coffee. And of course, the sweet alpacas that are friendly and willing to eat up all the carrots.

My father-in-law has a walker and it was easy to get him in and out which is a plus for us. We ordered a small meat lovers and a small twins special, the crust is right in the middle (not too thick, not too thin) and had a nice crisp to the bottom and there were tons of toppings, fresh vegetables and chunks of meats. They have a bar area, but right now it's BYOB (not sure if that will change) so we came prepared with a small cooler. Everyone working was very friendly. Definitely will go back and recommend anyone else to try it out!

While driving through CT to head to RI, we searched for a breakfast cafe. And, oh, how I am glad…read morewe stumbled upon La Stella. We got there early last Saturday and it was already busy. The good thing is there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so no issues finding a table. Everything we ordered was delicious, mascarpone egg and cheese sandwiches one with added ham and two different breads: herb Italian and a bagel. But, my absolute favorite was the Neapolitan cookies. I loved buying those when I lived in NYC 25 years ago. Haven't found at any Italian bakery since then now that I live in NC and it was a nice surprise! Coconut and almond cookies were really good. If I could offer any advice, have lavender, pistachio and other syrups for the lattes :)

Unfortunately we have to check our produce super carefully because this location seems to have a lot more spoiled produce than other grocery stores. The service isn't great. I don't normally need to interact with anyone, but everyone always seems to be in a hurry to get out. I went in with my husband a half hour before closing to grab a few things. We're always mindful to get out before closing. They were already cleaning the floors and they were waiting for me to move so they could clean the spot I was standing in. It made me feel super uncomfortable as I was rushing to find the item I was looking for (which they ended up not having). And one of the workers was loudly yelling every few minutes how many minutes there were until closing. I definitely got the feeling that I wasn't welcome there!

I just moved to the area and had been to the ALDIs in Vernon, which wasn't too bad. But I was going…read moreto Walmart and thought I would stop in this one on my way back. Well, this one has limited stock, and things are hard to find. The cashier on my way out was rude and had a real "we don't like yer (sic) kind 'round here" vibe. No need to return to this one, when I can go to Price Chopper which seems much closer to home.

I came here for a friend's wedding last weekend and it couldn't have been a more perfect setting (OR weather). I didn't see nearly enough of the grounds but what I did see was lovely. They hosted the ceremony in a spectacularly lush wooded area, followed by the reception in a rustic, yet well appointed pavilion. Actual bathrooms instead of portable which was sooo much better! Appreciated the ample parking and quick walk between the parking lot, ceremony site, and reception area. Not sure if all of the weddings are required to use the venue's catering, but the food was solid too!

The new barn venue is beautiful and well designed with all the extra comforts. The event coordinator Bree and all the staff were so professional, friendly, and helpful throughout the whole day. Everyone raved about the food which was plentiful and delicious. The fire pit on the back patio with s'mores along with the nice long porch where the bride and groom had a cigar bar was two favorite hangouts.The waterfall backdrop for the ceremony and landscaping with pond and older barn out buildings made a gorgeous back drop for the pictures! If I could give this tremendous venue 10 stars I definitely would and I highly recommend them for any future brides and grooms big day.
