There were some trees in their market, especially one particularly cool looking Heat Miser, but inquiring got me through the double doors by their refrigerated case to the greenhouse type structure out back where a multitude of trees and wreathes sat to be admired and won.

After my visit, I took another shopping eye look through the market and left with a box of 4 fat muffins and a chilled soup - butternut squash and apple - yum!

You can see the manufacturing facility through a large windoe right behind the display case. Their red pepper scamorza is my new favorite cheese on the planet. I have to buy twice as much as I want because I eat half on my way home. I have a similar problem with the ricotta. Before it makes it to the mannicotti or lasagna it was intended for it will be devoured with crackers. Nevermind the fantastic caprese salads during the summer with the mozzarella. Even the crackers they sell are imported from Italy and are top notch.

Here Luca, Christina, and Hakim create artisanal cheeses that embody Carlo Petrini's Slow Food movement: food should be good, clean, and fair. There is an exuberance to their art. They know that their cheese-making improves the cows and environment, that their cheese protects and deepens the "cultura del formaggio", and that their products WILL amaze you by their deliciousness! I highly recommend the cheese-making classes as well. I'd pay just to hear Luca's commentary on life, much less to learn how to make cheese from him! Even after studying food in Italy, I've never come across anyone so passionate about dairy. You'll love the teaching on how cheese is made, the process of making it yourself, the wine, bread, and cheese provided to the students, and the block you get to take home. If you live in New England, come visit Wolf Meadow Farm!

Our day started out wonderfully. My family and I had an amazing time apple picking and were really…read moreenjoying our day together. Unfortunately, the experience took an upsetting turn when we went to the shop to purchase apple cider doughnuts. My sister and I were standing in line when a staff member suddenly called us out in front of the other customers. She yelled, "Get in the back of the line and don't cut. That lady was here first!" My sister and I were extremely confused and embarrassed. Everyone turned to look at us as though we had done something wrong. The staff member then asked, "Did you place your doughnut order?" We explained that we had not, which was why we were standing in line. She responded by telling us that we needed to place our doughnut order first and then get in line to pay. We completely understand that there may have been a specific process for ordering and paying, and we would have gladly followed it if someone had simply explained it to us. However, the way this information was communicated was unnecessarily harsh and humiliating. We felt scolded, embarrassed, and shaken by the interaction. I can still remember the angry, raised tone of the staff member's voice. There are many ways this situation could have been handled respectfully and professionally. A simple explanation such as, "Excuse me, you need to place your doughnut order over there first, and then you can come back to this line to pay," would have been more than enough. What should have been a wonderful family outing ended with us feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. No customer should have to be treated this way, especially when there was clearly a misunderstanding rather than an intentional attempt to cut in line. Unfortunately, after this experience, I do not feel comfortable returning. I hope management takes the time to address how situations like this are handled with customers so that others do not have to experience the same treatment.

They have this practice of hyping items on their website then after you drive ten miles to get it, you find out "it was too windy for the fishermen to go out" or whatever. Then you are compelled to purchase something else because you made the drive. If they can't get an item listed on thier weekly online menu, they should take it off! Total "Bait and Switch" move. It's 2026 and they don't even have a phone you can call them on to see if they have the item. " too busy to answer a phone" Hire someone then! They have pulled this bait and switch on me several times, no more. I'm done. Cherry St. Fish Market is much better.

I was stuck between choosing the Nate's vegan chili and the FIG sandwhich. Nate himself actually came out and reccomended both, but we decided on the fig sandwich. Boy, was this a delight! The brioche bun was perfect, the flavor combo was genius to be honest. He even came back around to check in on me and how it was. (Give this man a raise lol). He took a moment to express gratitude and speak of his investment in the place and making it grow. Did I hear batting cages are coming next door??

That said, I succumbed recently as we were having friends over for dinner and although I made a dessert to serve, I thought it would be nice to have a few chocolates out in a dish as well. I bought a small box of chocolate covered caramel squares made by this local family-run Massachusetts company. Their website says the business started in 1979 and they now have the second generation of family members working there with the third generation (kids now) waiting in the wings. I do love a local family-owned and run business. The particular chocolates I bought were: "Vanilla Caramels" and I would describe what I got as very good quality chocolate covering delicious and creamy soft caramel inside. The shop is in Rowley which is north of Boston...we live south of Boston so getting there would be a haul. Fortunately our in-town local family-run market sells Winfrey's chocolates. I am glad I took a chance on these as we all found them to be fresh and really delicious...in fact, so good they were all eaten that night. I saw in another Yelp review that someone especially loves their chocolate peppermint bark...I saw that option in the store too and while I know a lot of people love the mint-chocolate combo..I am not one of them. But for the holidays, I am guessing this will be a big seller. These chocolates would make for a nice hostess gift or stocking stuffer too and I will keep that in mind going forward this holiday season.
