We live locally and usually get our butchery supplies and select produce from Tendercrop. I recently placed a large butchery order for our yearly family trip to nantucket and the butchery manager went out of her way to make sure all of our meets were sectioned out and vacuum packed for a safe trip from NH to the island. Attention to detail and supporting local businesses is important to us and we are always satisfied with our experience at Tendercrop. read more

Well this is a long one. On Friday October 2, 2026, at approximately 5:16 PM, my wife purchased produce from Tendercrop Farm at 123 Dover Point Road in Dover, New Hampshire. We have shopped at Tendercrop before and never had any issues. A display sign was clearly the worded "Blueberrys". Relying on that store signage, my wife purchased a small box the fruit believing that it was blueberries. We feed our 3 year old mini Dachshund Molly blueberry's as a healthy treat. We are well aware dogs should never eat grapes, raisins or chocolate because they are toxic to dogs. When we got home what we thought were farm harvested blueberries were packed in a little green box with a clear cellophane wrapper on it held be a single elastic band. There was nothing written on the package. At home my wife said "try these blueberries they are so fresh". I ate a couple and they tasted like blueberries but slightly different and they had seeds. And I noticed tiny little roots stems. We both thought, well these are farm grown and not from a big store like Market Basket . So I gave Molly a few and more that night. On Saturday she ate more, approximately 12-14 in total on the two days Friday and Saturday On Sunday the 4th my wife started to question these blueberries . She dug out of the kitchen trash bucket the sales receipt and to our horror saw "Concord Grapes" $3.99. It was then realized that these were not blueberries and were Concord grapes. Grapes can be toxic to dogs and can cause potentially serious kidney injury. Since our Vets office was closed we immediately sought emergency veterinary care at Port City Veterinary referral Hospital. We spent approximately four long hours there. Bloodwork was performed to evaluate her kidney function, and she was administered fluids. The emergency veterinary bill was $465, which we paid out of pocket because her pet insurance had a $500 deductible. Just before we left for the hospital my wife called Tendercrop to tell them what happened. She spoke to a female employee that stated that it was probably a customer that inadvertently placed the grapes under a Blueberry signage after deciding not to buy them. My wife told me she was absolutely certain that was wrong and someone, (an employee) must have mistakenly placed them and others under the wrong sign. I then called and asked to speak with manager or supervisor. I believe same woman that spoke my wife spoke to me. I explained this serious mistake and that we were en-route to the Hospital because toxicity effects from grapes don't show up immediately. Your dog can act completely fine one minute and just like that they can become seriously ill needing emergency medical care. This unidentified female manager at first listened to me but completely changed her attitude when I said that Tendercrop mislabeled the Blueberry's which were in fact small Concord grapes, and that my Vet bills should be covered by Tendercrop. At that point she became belligerent, argumentative, and rude taking no responsibility. Never concerned about my dog. She then abruptly and unprofessionally hung up on me. I never cursed or said anything to deserve that treatment. At the hospital Molly was blood tested and given a fluid injection. Thankfully The blood tests were normal. We left the hospital around 4:30. The bill was $465.00 with Sunday ruined by stress and worry if my dog's kidneys were going to shut down and have to be hospitalized. Because of the delay that of the onset of kidney toxicity from the grapes we were told that Molly must be tested again in 48 hrs before we can breath easier that she's in a safe zone. Monday morning we called her regular Vet and made appointment to bring her in Tuesday the 6th for the critical second test. Mollys regular PCP stated that some dogs don't have a severe reaction to grapes and some do. And that Tuesday's test was critical. So the Tuesday came and thank God prayers were answered and her kidney function was normal. Another $100, $65 of which we can claim in the Trupanion coverage. We were considering small claims court for the $465 but with a filing fee of $125 it's a risk because the only proof of what happened would be the direct evidence of what my wife saw. And Tendercrop would counter that the Concord grapes were labeled correctly and a customer misplaced the box my wife picked up. It would be my wife's word against the store with no real proof on both sides. The magistrate would have to decide whose story was more convincing. So we decided to fold our cards and walk away with what is most important thing which is Mollys health. We are very disappointed in the conduct and unwillingness and total disregard of the management of the store to take any part in the responsibility of this incident. We will NEVER enter Tendercrop again. read more

This farm stand has some of the most beautiful food I have ever seen. From veggies to meat to fruit to flowers, this is nearly a complete grocery store for any small family. I have never seen two-inch thick steaks and pork chops before. We went in for strawberries and came out with three full bags of groceries. I thought the prices were steep, but that didn't stop us. The place was beautiful! read more

Have paid a couple of visits over the holidays. Ordered our pork loin roast for the holidays. Stopped by to picking border after calling the day before and they did not have the order. The staff member was very apologetic and went to work to cut our 6 lbs loin. Never cooked it before. It was really good. Everyone commented on how good it was. Thanks! Looking for blood oranges for a cake for NYE. Called and the clerk went to look and confirmed they indeed had blood oranges. Every time we walk in we want to clear out the bakery section. Smells so good. And yep. Blood Oranges!!! read more

The Italian sausage is surprising, because it did not taste like Italian sausage, but it's still very good. They're very good, but just don't expect it to taste like your traditional Italian sausage. The muffins and hermit cookies are good. The pre-cut watermelon is delicious and the price for the container is a steal! They carry Shain's of Maine ice cream, which was a huge bonus. The loaded baked potato chowder was "ok". You really need to love loaded baked potatoes to really enjoy the chowder. The bagels are good, but don't last more than a couple days. They grew mold by the 3rd day. The sub rolls are good, but don't last long, either. Just be prepared to eat them within a day or two or don't buy many. Everything is very well priced. Great deals! read more

The cranberry walnut chicken salad keeps me coming back for more and more. Some items feel pricey (like the cobb salad) but the 8 oz container of chicken salad feels just right. I love that I can come by for a good meal and get my grocery shopping done at the same time. Baked goods are also yummy to try! read more

I just visited for the first time; it's mid-August now, so all the best, late season vegetables are in, especially Silver Queen corn and beefsteak tomatoes. Very reasonably priced, in my opinion. Corn was $.79 an ear (with three "complimentary" ears tossed in free. You can certainly find cheaper corn - Walmarts, for instance, is selling it for $.50, but theirs is at least 5 days old, and often 10 (the crates show the pick date). I grew my own vegetables for many years, and I assure you that 5-day-old corn does not compare to ears picked that morning. In fact, the former isn't worth the labor to shuck it. The vegetables I saw here (and purchased) were all fresh, grown right here and, even though I'm retired now and have to carefully budget my expenditures, worth every penny. read more

For what u get the prices are not bad Food is great come here all the time Love the meat read more

I've become very fond of Tendercrop Farm over the years, the fresh produce in summer, local meats year round and the nighttime flashlight corn maze in fall, what's not to love? Prices are fair for a local farm trying to make a profit, it's worth it when you know where your food is coming from. read more

Manger on Sat afternoon at 6 pm bad attitude. Asked her for strawberries. ..you thinking i had asked her to move a mountain. I insulted her by asking........she responed w the strawberries will be put out tomorrow w tje biggest attitude....instesd of let me see if i can go back and get you a quart....poor representation in front on teenage cashier s who saw this...she was very bitter and dismisive....not a good vibe or look for your business read more

The vegetables are fresh, if you can afford them. Tomatoes are $5 a pound! Yikes! All of their prices are insane compared to other vegetable stands around here. They have a bathroom, but when I asked to use it they told me it is only for employees. They were insteucted to tell customers to drive a mile up the road to a gas station on the right! Huh? Nice veggies, but the prices are way too high, and i can't get over the disrespect for customers with the bathroom usage rule. I won't go back, and will let my acquaintances I know what is happening there. read more

Love the butcher shop! Garden section has a good selection of plants and herbs. The fresh produce has a great variety especially for fresh herbs and vegetables. read more

Quality is unmatched, prices are reasonable. We do not buy produce and particularly animal products anywhere else.

First time getting it from here. Supposedly farm fresh but it wasn't very good. And yeah $$$.....

Halloween Corn Maze Event: This review is for the Halloween Corn Maze event only, we did not go into the store. I went with my family, husband, myself and kids up to 13 years old. Easy to get to, plenty of parking and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Staff was really friendly. Food was really good. I got the pizza, which was so good they should sell and deliver it, my family ordered from the food truck. This is one part that stopped it from being 5 - 2/4 of the order was wrong and it wasn't even busy. Don't get me wrong, the wrong food was delicious, but there was no obvious reason why there was a 50/50 mistake aside from the workers goofing around with each other while taking our order. The beer shed had good selection and the hot chocolate and donuts were good. Prices weren't over inflated too bad. There's fun stuff for the kids to do on the way to the corn maze..... fun tube slides and tires etc. the maze was really fun. They aren't kidding though, you MUST bring a flashlight. We were there during a full moon and it was still dark plus we didn't see any staff members / helpers in the maze to guide lost people. My only complaint about the maze was that we found an exit that wasn't real and kept us landlocked near the rear tree line and when we found what we believed to be the real exit there was no sign or fanfare letting you know you had completed the corn maze. Our exit was kind of far away from the entrance and event activities, so it was a good & fun walk back, but still the group of us that exited at the same time were all unsure if it was the real exit or not. I liked that the corn maze wasn't "haunted" because I was with 2 people who hate being scared and we were in the maze for a while. Haunting it would have been awful for my family. Overall, I'd go back & recommended. read more

Super fun with young kids! If only it had a public restroom, then it would be a perfect family outing

Prices are exorbitant for the quality you get, especially the produce. It's no better than what you can get at most local grocery stores. No public restroom. They could at least stick a porta-potty outside for customers to use. read more

Sweet little farm stop! We've stopped by a few times. Lovely staff and a good selection. Their pre made wraps were tasty along with their muffins. Will definitely be stopping by again! read more

I absolutely love visiting local businesses, especially local farms. I had never been to Tendercrop Farm before, so yesterday I took a visit in, and also today I attended their Sunflower Festival. Let's break this review up into 2 parts. First, I will review the Tendercrop Farm store. Second, I will review their Sunflower Festival. The location itself is beautiful. Plenty of parking. The inside was nicely decorated with beautiful fall decor and flowers. The aesthetic is on point! Inside there is a bakery, a section of bath and home products, flowers, refrigerated dairy products, fresh produce, and a deli / meat counter. Outside they had flowers for fall, mums, ornamental peppers, pumpkins and more. As someone who shops farms and local businesses, I do expect to pay a bit more than the mass produced stores. I am fine with that, and fully support it. However the prices of everything inside was very pricey. I bought 1 sausage for $4.45, a small container of pulled pork for $4.22 and 6 slices of chicken breast from the deli for $4.60. I have sense tried all 3 items that I purchased, and the only thing that I would buy again is the pulled pork. That was delicious! The other items, they were alright. Now, let's review their Sunflower Festival. My family and I showed up a little before 11 am and there was already quite a few people there. Parking was easy to get to, and they had lots of people attending to guide you into the field. Admission for adults was $10 and parking was free. We were greeted by thousands of sunflowers, all in bloom, and just breathtaking. We did have a toddler with us under the age of 2, and found that there wasn't much offered for younger children. They did have a bounce house, and a blow up slide. Most of the children's attractions were minimal and not very exciting. There were some pigs, a cow, a pony and some goats, which was nice for the kids to see. We did stop at a smaller slide made for younger kids, and my niece did enjoy that. Walked around some more, visited the corn maze, and then we were on our way out. They did have a hay ride, but every time we got close to it, it was taking off so we didn't get to enjoy that unfortunately. They did have a section with food vendors, and trinkets for sale. We stayed for about a hour, and left. On the way out we wanted to get a sun flower, and it was pick your own or buy a bundle. The only problem is unless you brought your own scissors or knife, you had to rip the sunflower to buy it. I really would have thought there would be a better system for that. All in all it's nice if you want to get some beautiful pictures of or in the sunflowers, but personally, I don't think I'd go back. Not very exciting, and no big attractions. All in all, I'm glad I visited both the store and got to attend their festival, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

I love this place for fresh fruit and vegetables. The meat department has a wonderful selection and the chicken is raised on the farm. Their eggs are always very fresh and reasonably priced. They also offer a wide selection of flower, vegetable and herb plants. read more

We stopped here back in October for some pumpkins, which were reasonably priced. I also picked up some "boozy" cranberry jam and licorice. Prices to me weren't unusual for local, fresh items. I paid less than what I thought it would be. I didn't get to shop produce, but I'd love to go back again. They also had some cute decor and delicious looking desserts! Their farm also has some cute farm animals and I was able to pet an adorable cow. read more

After several visits the conclusion is mixed. First it is good to see that Tuttles Red Barn has not died. Since 1632 the Tuttles ran the farm until 2013, it was vacant for a long time. The organic spinach greenhouse grown in Mass by the Tendercrop folks is very high quality. There are lots of very expensive Whole Foods type products available. Unfortunately, the range of breads and bakery items, produced in house are really poor to mediocre. Other than their own veggies in season, there does not appear to be any reason to return. read more

I love how this store is set up and what they offer. I wish the staff was more pleasant. I stopped by this evening around 5:30 and sent about 20 minutes in the store. When I checked out the ones at the registers acted like I was keeping them there late or something making me feel uncomfortable. It wasn't even 6 yet.... So I asked them what time do they close and they both spoke up 6:30. I can't figure out what the issue was. read more

went in for the first time and their produce is gorgeous. their cherries are delicious and their prices are pretty good! people there were very nice too, the gentleman at the meat counter provided an amazing experience- the lighting and atmosphere were very calming and I'm so happy I went!! read more

Truly a hidden gem. I've driven by many times. This time I thought I would like to see what this farm is all about. It has fresh produce. A butcher counter that has many items they've made( sausages, marinated meats and chicken and a whole bunch more. They have a deli with homemade soups, stews, salads. Homemade breads and sweets. I am not even getting close to describing this place. You go. You tell me. You won't regret it read more

Amazing produce, great bakery (their pita is so good, my daughter asks me to send it to her in NC), farm-raised beef, pork, chicken, duck and more. Great selection of local cheeses, beer, and dairy. Prices very reasonable (way less then Kittery's Golden Harvest). And, a couple days a week they partner with NE Fishmongers to have fresh fish available. Also pastas, cracker/snacks, nuts, jams, syrup, etc. I go here every week now and reserve the supermarket for canned, paper, baking and ethnic goods. read more

Went to Tender Crop on Sunday to pick up some birthday steaks. The double garlic and maple bourbon are impossible to mess up. I am also a fan of the raspberry turnovers. The place is tight on space so its usually pretty congested on the weekends. Bring the kids along to check out the animals out side as a great opener for the circle of life talk at dinner. The photo shows the double garlic tips with bleu cheese with a side of potatoes. Nom! read more

Tendercrop Farm - a loaf of blueberry bread - Farmers Market Near Me - Dover, New Hampshire

SUCH a cute farm! Visited Tendercrop Farm on a whim after reading a Yelp review and I'm so glad we did! This is a farm that has a big store (with their own raised meats, dried flowers galore, fresh veggies, and cute antique nick-nacks). The farm also offers free things to do directly outside/around the store. This includes seeing a few farm animals (pigs, goats, a bull) and a few scattered neat activities for kids around the land (maze, giant slides). Ample parking. Great place to spend 1-1.5 hrs. I guess during warmer months they have sunflowers. Never felt rushed by staff, so nice to spend an afternoon outside. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. Had a great time! read more

My husband and I adore coming here. It's a fun place to come and check out fresh produce and local meats, as well as wonderful baked goods and ready prepared foods. We have had the prepared chicken salad (kinda dry) and the Cobb salad which was ginormous and very nice. The baked goods are our favorite though! The raspberry coffee cake is so soft and moist, the chocolate chip brownie is incredible and so packed with chocolate! More recently we tried the chocolate whoopie pie which was a touch dry but flavorful, however the cream was delicious. Their cookies are also good as well and I like how they sell them individually. We come here frequently and will continue to do so! read more

I have been to their Newburyport and Wenham stores in the past. I discovered this location while camping last year and so enjoy going to the "farm" as we call it. There are so many things we enjoy getting there. I can eat their corn 24/7 in was so good last year and this past weekend they had some great Georgia corn. Also there onions and peppers are the best I have had. My wife loves the cranberry chicken salad which they have made up for me if they are out. A trip is not complete without some cider donuts and a little chocolate milk. Last but not least are their meats whether it is the prepackaged marinaded meats or from behind the counter, they are all great. The steakhouse tips and Chinese pork are 2 of our favorites. We try to making it a weekly stop as we continue to camp near by. Well worth the trip. read more

The former Red Barn at Tuttle's Farm is now occupied by Tendercrop Farm, and they are off to an impressive start. Until now, I made Fiddlehead Farms my stop for local produce, but they will be facing some big competition from Tendercrop. The selection and quality of fruits, veggies, meats and baked goods is very impressive. I've only had the chance to visit a couple times since they opened in mid March, but I have always walked out with more than I planned. read more

Soups not flavoring at all. The corn deal a dozen for $1.99 but each .59 cent. So if you get a 6 corns it cost more then a a dozen. Sorry I'm again and I know math. But that shit doesn't add up. So they want you to buy more to save more. Even if you don't want more. Pricey grocery store. Good thing I can go to Market Bucket for better deals. Yeah I am good. read more

I'm a big supporter of buying local so even though I've been less than thrilled with Tendercrop's quality of produce and bakery items, I went back hoping for improvements. I went today and it was not only dirty but the prices were higher than they've ever been. Don't get me wrong, their meat is delicious and I appreciate its locally sourced. $15/lb for marinaded beef is a bit ridiculous as is almost $5 for a look of bread or head of cauliflower (in the off season). In the summer, there are tons of fruit flies, making things very unappetizing. The bakery items are bland and I'm also wondering why there aren't any locals working in the bakery. Everyone spoke Spanish and when I asked a question I was met with a blank stare...then I asked in Spanish and was easily understood. Not a problem but I was surprised not to see any local individuals baking. The individual stocking produce also didn't speak English so he had no idea what I was talking about when I asked him for some herbs. A lot of them were dead and some were rotten. Overall, its far more expensive with less options than Tuttle's. I'll be sure to visit only Farmer's Markets from now on. read more

The meats and the chicken are pricey but absolutely worth it. The veggies and prepared foods are very reasonable and top quality. We are so lucky to have them close by. Certainly less expensive than Whole Foods and more local choices than anywhere else. Love love love Tendercrop Farm! read more
