Friendly knowledgeable, staff, and a wonderful variety of fruits, vegetables, and plants.

Don't bother at all...Taft Farms is an a very cute overpriced store, a beautiful selection of fruits and vegetables, with plenty of pumpkins to choose from. However, do not stop here for a bite to eat. We tried three different pie slices, a deli sandwich, and a panini, and everything tasted completely bland--like air. I actually thought for a second that I had lost my ability to taste. How can so many different things taste like absolutely nothing? I don't think these are fresh made pies or cooked by the store. Very very poor quality. On top of that, the lady behind the counter was rude, seemed unable to keep up with the orders, and looked like she would have preferred we weren't there at all. It took over 30mins for three simple sandwiches. If you want a pumpkin, vegetables, or other groceries, sure, stop in. But for anything from the bakery or deli, go elsewhere. The food was that disappointing. read more

Small interior but mighty. We bought beautiful heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fruits, fresh squeezed orange juice and some other things. The cashiers were very nice . I just found it a little bit hard to navigate through the store with other people carts blocking the path that's all. My favorite products were the OJ , chicken salad and kettle chips ( not pictured sorry ) !! read more

Great products, great prepared food. But Don't go on a rainy day! They refuse to pave their parking lots and it quickly turns into a swamp. read more

Need a quick bite or a bunch of sandwiches for Tanglewood ? Taft Farms is your place. A plethora of interesting & very reasonable sandwiches & salads. The line caught Tuna is a winner, served cold on fresh bread/roll... lots of baked goods, pies. Of course farm produce. Lots of parking, right off 183 between GB & Housatonic. Down to earth, rustic & unpretentious. Could be a stop in a rural town. Highly recommended read more

The Cuban weighs in at 12 oz minimum. The meat is thiccccccccc and while a soft demi baguette will never give the textural contrast needed for a perfect cubano, this iteration is damned delicious and filling. For $9? Ridiculous bargain. Wife loved her ultimate grilled cheese ($8) which feature big red slices of tomato and crisp bacon. Kids eviscerated their grilled cheese and ham and Swiss ($5 each). It's a farm market, so maybe the deli counter is easy to overlook? I don't know, what I'm telling you is don't overlook the deli counter. Got it? Good. read more

Taft Farms - Cuban - Farmers Market Near Me - Great Barrington, Massachusetts

This was a fantastic small grocery store/farmers market. They had a surprisingly large hot food section that churned out delicious hot sandwiches for great prices. The most unique is definitely the Seoul Rueben which is not something I expected. The meat was great and the sauce was savory but still on the sweeter end of the spectrum. Definitely not authentic to pass off as true Korean fusion but definitely something that the curious should try. Overall if you're in the area definitely check this place out! read more

Taft Farms is quite a nice place, with a produce store, grocery store, bakery, and a greenhouse. The retail store had a lot of gorgeous fruit and produce, and the shelves and refrigerated cases were loaded with locally made granola, ice cream, granola, milk, cheese and dairy products, coffee. breads, pasta sauce, farm eggs, hot dogs & beef, and cider. They make their own pies and have a deli that sells 20 sandwiches including this cool one - a "Seoul Reuben" with pastrami, provolone, and locally made kimchee, grilled with sweetened soy sauce. Holy fusion ! One of their sandwich specialties is their take on tuna salad - Chef Paul's "Wicked Tuna Salad'. They buy fresh, line caught tunas from "American Boats in American Waters". They are pan seared and prepared on site with celery, salt, red onion, pepper, olive oil, red wine vinegar, herbs and mayonnaise. Many batches are made on the same day they are caught. We bought an $8.99 container of that tuna salad, and yes it was unlike any tuna salad I can remember having. It was more like a chicken salad with small firm chunks of tuna, and none of the over-blended homogeneous spreadable consistency you see in just about every version of tuna salad you've ever had. It was quite dense and very good. We also walked through their impressive greenhouse. It was a dazzling splash of beautiful colors with reds and pinks and yellows popping all over the place. We topped off our visit with some of their cinnamon sugar donuts. Yeah... they were great. read more

Just love this farm ! We always make our way here when we come up to the Berkshires for our fall foliage ride . They have everything you would be looking for , pumpkins galore , apples, Indian corn , bakery items ( cider donuts ) ,fresh produce ( no pesticides), jellies and lots more ...they even have a deli and a greenhouse !! Everything is fresh and wholesome ! They have a corn maze , hay rides and pumpkin picking too ! Inside it is usually very busy , it's a small space so you are maneuvering around other people , no big deal . We ordered an onion soup and 2 sandwiches, a Cuban on marble rye and a Turkey Slaw on multigrain bread . The girl at the counter was very friendly and polite .My husband had the onion soup , loaded with onions, a bit salty but delicious.Both sandwiches were huge and overstuffed , the bread was amazing ! It was incredibly delicious and extremely filling , couldn't finish mine . Also , brought home a couple of cranberry scones from their bakery to have for breakfast, WOW so yummy and flaky, packed with cranberries !! I'm sure there are many other great farms in the area but this place seems to have it all so we will certainly keep on returning! read more

I wanted to take a break from driving and stop at a cute farm stand in the Berkshires. Yelp suggested this place and didn't steer me wrong. They had some delicious sour cream and onion potato chips from a place I'd never seen before as well as really amazing cider donuts. I was less impressed with their perail papillon sheep's milk cheese round. It was okay but I would not get it again. They were selling small decorative gourds for $0.99 and I picked up a few although I don't think that's a great price. The blueberry tea bread I purchased was also okay but not the greatest. All in all, if I go back here I'd get the chips and the cider donuts and maybe some gourds if I needed them for decorating. read more

Working construction in the area. Stopped here for a breakfast wrap. My goodness!!!! The food is wonderful, the staff is super friendly, and they have soooo many awesome fresh, local options! I purchased some local raw honey also. I hope to be back here often! read more

We love taft farms and have for decades now. The baked goods are fantastic. (Cider donuts? Pie? Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! OMG all so great.). The deli options are delicious. The produce is farm fresh. And the folks are always so nice. read more

Sandwiches are the way to go here. As far as their salads go, they are over priced and mediocre, and don't even come with dressing. I'll just stick to guidos when getting my salads from now on. Staff also just on their phones behind counter and not the friendliest, read more

Nice little spot off the beaten path here in the Berkshiresa solid variety of local fresh fruits and vegetables, local honey, healthier retail snacks, there's a greenhouse, and flowers plants etc. in the garden center. The deli counter staff was friendly and our Turkey Ruben, although good it's took a long time to make. Local heirloom tomatoes were delicious. read more

Great spot in great Barrington for organic farm fruits and vegetables. They make home made chicken pot pies fruit pies. With the fruit pies you can buy a whole pie, a half pie or just a slice. They also have a deli counter with very interesting sandwiches. They roast their own Turkey breast , ham And roast beef in house. We had yummy sandwiches and sat outside on a picnic bench and enjoyed the scenery. Would recommend. read more

Excellent baked goods, very nice bread and bakery selections. Fruits and Vegetables are out of this world. Nice staff, great service. They sell the Ronny brook farm chocolate milk here and the coffee milk and other flavors so I am always here. Pretty decent coffee if this is the only place you hit in the morning and nice muffins/morning pastries etc. Nice sandwiches and excellent selection in deli items. I adore the BLT with Avocado instead of tomatoes that is my own sandwich creation although technically it came from Alterra's in Milwaukee they have changed names and ownership but they served the first BLT made with avocado slices instead of tomatoes. Occassionally you can get a nice herb mayo dressing for your sandwich. And Taft makes some excellent saald dressings I have been fooling around with the Gardeny Vermouth vinegar mixed with Mayo and it also makes a superb and tart dressing. read more

Mostly known for local and fresh produce, the deli sandwiches and the prepared soups and meals are just fantastic.

When we visit the Berkshires Taft Farms is the our most favorite place to visit. We pick up a beautiful plant to take back to the city. If we're lucky and it's the fall season we stock up on the best apple cider donuts. Hands down the best place to get cider donuts in all the land. Being in the Berkshires is not complete without a visit to this farm. read more

Great homemade pies. Cider donuts. Good sandwiches. Fresh local produce and easy dinner options. Fresh flowers. Fun corn maze for the kids in fall. Idyllic New England. read more

Ridiculously great sandwiches. Nice casual seating and very friendly staff. Fun assortment of gourmet supplies.

We LOVE Taft Farms. Everything here is fresh and delicious. The family and employees are great. Paul, from Charter the Berkshires, also has a great little tackle shop here with everything that you need, including bait - shiners in all sizes, night crawlers, grubs and more. Stop by and check it out. read more

The blueberry pie makes this a five-star review! I'd give it ten stars if I could. Just buy the pie. Eat it while it's still warm. It was unearthly good! I could go on and on about the pie, but I'm going to move on. When we pulled into the parking lot, it was already rather busy. On our way in, we passed a large cage with some baby ducklings that had been born in the last week. How adorable! Next to them, was a huge box of corn, for 50 cents an ear. This was a fantastic place to stock up on some provisions for a cookout. There were a variety of different fruits and vegetables, most grown on premises. In addition the produce, there are local brands of cheese, ice cream, maple syrup, and coffee (among other things). You could seriously do some damage in this place. So, it's probably best to come in on a full stomach, otherwise the bakery could make for a calorie-filled, but delightful, visit. We picked up a bunch of veggies and the aforementioned blueberry pie for just under $40. All the veggies were super fresh and grilled beautifully. The corn tasted like summer. Totally worth a visit. read more

I wish I had checked out their website before I stopped by, because it sounds like they have a great farm: 200 acres of 80% organically grown sweet corn, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, spinach, beets, carrots, squash, cucumbers, melons, and potatoes, a pantry where they bake fresh pies, breads, and pastries daily, as well as flowers and some all natural packaged treats. I pulled in to their gravel parking lot recently one afternoon and immediately thought the flowers and plants out front looked super healthy and happy. inside i was less impressed with their produce selection - the peaches were rock hard and really really cold like they'd been frozen. the pies and breads did look delicious, but the store is really so small that i felt uncomfortable meandering so i bought my blueberries and raspberries and left. i don't know that they have a "pick your own" option for fruits and veggies in season, but the website mentions hay rides and corn mazes starting labor day and a scarecrow competition, so i bet it is nicer to visit in the fall. read more

Products are a five..great selection of squashes of different sorts...plenty of apples and ciders.I bought 2 pies....have not tried them yet. I'll give 4 stars for friendly service. I'm sure you get a lot of buissnness but the wait staff could be more attentive and a smile goes a long way...I read another review here on yelp, the yelper mentioned that they felt like​ they where inconveniencing the girls working behind the counters by being customers. I got the same feeling. To the workers, you don't own the place and I'm sure you make minimum wage but at least make a effort to pretend your happy to be there making money....just my opinion...A four star. I would have given 5 if the work staff was nicer. read more

Stopped today. Bought fresh picked strawberries, beautiful and taste even better. Bought a Peach Melba cake. O. M. G.!!! Unbelievable! Full of peaches and raspberries! Not too sweet, nice texture. Soooo good! Wish I lived closer, this one's not going to last long!! read more

I think it is highly dishonest that Taft Farm claims that the pies are made on the premises. They are received frozen from an outside bakery and baked off on the premises. ALL of the Donuts and Muffins come from ready made mixes as well. Huge sandwiches? depends on who is making them. You will get far better produce at Guido's or Big Y and much better prices. Do yourself a favor and do not fall for this Tourist trap. read more

friendly folks. Ive been a couple times. small farm stand with deli, juices and snack items. the price of sandwich was high for the what you get-- but it was good. I think it was called the turkey stuffing. their fruit has always been fresh and good quality. I haven't bought any plants so I can't say if they last or not. parking is adequate. they offer limited indoor seating for the deli and a few tables outside with umbrellas. employee bathroom is in the back and it looks like a typical employee bathroom. read more

We have a farm in The Berkshire's and our family has been coming here for decades. Today we purchased two pies, cherry and peach, for $32 and were greatly disappointed in what we ate at home. The peach pie hardly had any peaches and the peaches there were cut into tiny pieces. This pie tastes like it came from canned peaches and for $16 that is unacceptable. My family will find their pies elsewhere. read more

I agree with every positive comment and have never been disappointed by anything I've gotten or seen there. I'm a regular and most of the time don't bother going to a grocery store anymore. I love that everything is fresh, delicious, GMO free, and the milk comes from happy cows, not factory farms. The place is immaculately clean and the animals are obviously well loved and tended. Plants I've purchased are thriving. read more

Taft Farms charmed us with its rustic and old-fashioned appearance. After wandering among rows of fresh fruits and vegetables, we decided on sandwiches for lunch. I ordered a turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich from a woman at the counter. Her no-nonsense attitude got the food out relatively fast. The turkey did not have the sweaty, frozen-food aisle taste. On the contrary, it was fresher than most turkey I've tasted in months. The cheese accompanying the turkey was good on its own, but I found that the cheese and turkey tended to be in separate lumps, not combined. However, the ingredients were fresh and went well with some salty chips and apple juice. We finished off the lunch with a fruity popsicle, though the outside was slightly gelatinous. I recommend Taft Farms to any sensible snacker in search for a place to munch on sandwiches, chips, doughnuts, pies, and more. read more

I love supporting local business, and have never felt my money was better spent than here. Farm fresh produce (in season sometimes minutes from picking) is peerless. Their pies are delicious! The home-raised chickens (for 4th of July remind us what chicken REALLY tastes like. And I love their hanging plants, plants for planting and seasonal evergreens. Two thumbs way up for decades! read more

Hands-down the best meatloaf I've ever had. I got a small loaf in the refrigeration cabinet, and it is so tasty. It's beautifully browned and crispy on the outside but not overcooked on the inside. I also love the sandwiches, and I cannot say enough about the hair to go soups. Namely, the gazpacho. They have a delicious Tabata that reminds me of a mix between a Hawaiian roll, and challah. I don't think my both will last, but I recommend using it for an ultra delicious French toast or bread pudding. I'm sorry I didn't get the tuna salad, and I wish I would've gotten two of these meatloaves. read more

A gem of a place. I wouldn't call Taft just a farm stand, but really a little bit of everything in the middle of nowhere. Situated part way between Great Barrington and Stockbridge they are sort of an oasis in the desert - just past the Village of Hoosatonic. They are in my estimation equal parts farm stand (not a huge selection - but I did say farm "stand"), part store, part bakery, part garden center and part cafe. They have a really good selection of local and interesting cheeses and other grocery type products (honey, pre-baked foods, dairy products), an ice cream counter (with the cheapest ice cream prices I've seen in the Berkshires), a sandwich counter and loads of fresh baked bread, muffins, cookies,scones (try the apricot), etc. I've had lunch here, bought local produce, picked up a few grocery items even had ice cream. It's a good deal and a nice place to buy a variety of local food items all in one place. read more

Interesting place. Way overpriced for produce. Try guidos! Rude staff here - behind the deli they act as though they're doing you a favor. Do they not want business? Been coming to the berkshires for years and have tried to like this place but I do not. read more

Staff were rude to me and my service dog. Overpriced too. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Great pies!!! Well, all of the baked goods are yummy. The corn maze and the hay rides and really fun for the kids.

The apple pie is the best I've ever had. The tangleberry is also fantastic. The sandwiches are also worth trying! read more
