Who doesn't love the idea of buying local? Tendercrop farm is my favorite place to go for groceries- their produce is fabulous, the meat selection is phenomenal and I love a lot of their prepared foods, too. Standouts include: Spinach salad with figs and goat cheese (Yowsa, this is awesome! I put a little balsamic on it and practically lick the bowl when I'm done.) Jalapeno sausages- SO FREAKING GOOD. Bean dip House-made brownies (SO fudge-y and delicious) I typically go here for produce and fresh meat. It's always clean and well-stocked. I love how they have samples out to try everywhere- from dips on the table by the registers to meats and cheeses at the deli and even grapes "on the vine" for you to taste before buying. I've gone there before and not had a plan for what to buy, just knew I wanted to cook something delicious. There was a guy in the meat department who spent some time with me, talking up the different options. He clearly had a passion for what he does and it showed. It's nice when you can talk to someone like that and know they are giving you a real opinion, not just trying to sell you something. The produce and meat are very well-priced, as are the prepared foods. The dairy products are (in my opinion) really overpriced. I tend to go to Tendercrop for meat and produce and then to Hannaford for dairy. It stinks to have to go to two separate places, but I'm happy to do it to get the quality I want and a good price. read more

I visited Tender Crop Farm for the first time this week. I was floored at the prices. Extremely expensive. Extremely. Especially in this day and age they would lower the prices to help out the community that is hurting financially. The meat looked fantastic, but I cannot afford to but it. The bread is $5.00 a loaf and not at all flavorful. Some things didn't even have prices on them. $9.99 for 3 ounces of dill????? They closed the public restroom, but can't help out the community? I will not be back. read more

We just paid this place a visit. OMG terrific produce, big spacious store with their own deli, bakery & butchery. We used to visit their branch in Newbury, MA. I never even knew they had one here until I drove by it. We'll definitely be returning since they have flowers we want to plant! read more

As a mother of 3, I grocery shop a lot...Tendercrop is the only place I can shop where my kids actually want to come with me! The fruit and veggies are so fresh. We always try something new. The meats are excellent. We haven't tried much from the bakery, but I'm sure everything is yummy. The staff is so helpful and they always engage with my kids. It is a bit out of the way for me, but it is worth the trip. read more

I have been disappointed time and time again. The hours are not great for working folks. The eggs are not fresh. I buy them from a local farmer and they taste so much better. Eggs at Tendercrop each time I have bought them are runny, so old. Lots of produce-I wonder if they donate all of the leftover to a food pantry or soup kitchen because there is so much and highly priced i don't see them going through all they have. I do like the assortment of meat, but again higher priced then the other local butchers. I have bought some prepared meals such as the pork pies. They were horrible. I'm saddened that Tuttles closed, but this has not been a great alternative for me. read more

Hands down the best place to do your groceries anywhere in this area. A true farm. The place is very fairly priced and not expensive at all for what it is. Everything is properly labeled for what is from their farm, what isn't. All of their product is grass fed and free roam. The quality of product here is very high. I tried the fruit , the bakery, the salads, the produce, everything is absolutely top notch, no garbage ingredients added! This is how grocery shopping should be. My go to spot for groceries, will not go anywhere else. read more

I'm not sure what happened to Tendercrop but in the last six months we've gotten rotten cheese, rancid chicken and molded bread on more than one occasion. No longer worth the trip. read more

Very pleased to find this gem so close to my new home in Portsmouth NH. Took my grand niece to see the petting animals. I was looking for dried flowers and like your Newbury MA farm, have a big selection. Will come back regularly for fruit & vegetables etc. read more

In my opinion, Tendercrop Farms is one of the best things to ever happen to the New Hampshire Seacoast area. Nearly everything in the store is grown or made by the farm itself and is of the highest quality. The employees of the store are both friendly and incredible helpful, and went out of their way to make sure we got exactly what we needed. The pricing is more than that of the corporate grocery stores in the area, but the extra is worth it for the fresh, healthy produce and clean, friendly shopping environment. Thank you Tendercrop! read more

Although tender crop seems to be a bit $$$ it's worth every penny. I know where my food is coming from. Fresh soups, breads and a nice variety of meats and labeled marinated meat that is gluten free. Great variety and the fruits and vegetables all look and taste amazing. read more

I was saddened to see Tuttle's shut down, but Tendercrop is exactly the type of establishment I was hoping would move in. Excellent local meats, and endless fresh produce. read more

The soup get's a 5 star . Very expensive but the quality is top notch. I must admit how do you justify a 1 lb organic butter at $18.00 The beef is excellent, fruits are fresh. People are helpful. read more

I was directed to this shop by a dear friend. Upon entry the smell of roasting turkey greeted me. The produce quality is top notch. They have a magnificent variety of jams, jellies, syrups, and honey. I came in search of persimmons, which they had, beautiful and plump. I left with dates, grapes, hot pepper jam, Gouda, Asian pears, two meat pies, and of course persimmons! This shop is destined to be a new destination for me. I will return soon. read more

Stopped by and picked up a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, WOW, it was delicious , meaty texture, great mouth feel, flavor off the charts, cooked evenly, will be going back... read more

Went there today for corn and fruit. The corn was disgusting. Stunted, misshapen ears with tot and bugs. Rotted cantaloupe and the place smelled like garbage. I won't be back. read more

They have a great selection of meats, a bit pricy but they are fresher and better tasting than what you would get at a supermarket. The soups are good, and they're vegetables and fruits are always fresh. Worth the visit and the price. What you get is good fresh food. read more

This is the my favorite place to ship. I go several times a week for fresh vegetables. My Grandson always asks if i have to go to the farm. He wants me to go so he can get a snack and feed his friend the goat! read more

It's great to see a place in our community like this one. Not only do they sell fresh, healthy foods but I've found that many of their products are priced surprisingly lower then the bigger supermarket chains. The staff has always been helpful and knowledgeable but you can tell that they're there out of love for what they do and not just for the paycheck. Think that's it? Well you'd be wrong!!!Besides great food, great prices and a friendly staff they have an area right outside with live farm animals from a cow to goats to chickens etc... I believe that it's not just great for the kids, but great for the kid inside all of us. If you're looking for a local farm that sells fresh, local, healthy food then stop on by and them a try. F.Y.I. you don't need to be a customer to enjoy the farm animals.. read more

I don't know how this farm continues to exist. The meat dept is great. There is good produce. however, you have to be affluent to shop there and some of the prepacked food stuffs. Not so good. Case in point, mexican salsa is sweet and not the good kind. when I think salsa, I want heat not sweet. I will shop there when I need not easy to find produce. But not for anything else. read more

The meat and produce is wonderful. So are the baked goods. We shop here at least once a week

Being a farmer I was excited to see the work in progress on the fields surrounding the old Tuttle property when I passed through on business a while back. I hadn't been there in years so I figured I'd try the store. I have stopped in there several times now over the past few months and found the quality generally good with a nice selection of meat cheese produce and sundry goods. My last visit 2 days ago was not good at all. I had gotten some substandard cuts of meat from them in the past but this time I tried a seasoned prepackaged pork chop that turned out to be actually rotting when I got home to open it. It smelled so bad that it stunk up the kitchen and I had to turn on the exhaust fan. Had to give it to the dog. That plus I have found the clerks at checkout to be unhappy and unpleasant. This past visit I waited patiently at checkout while they ignored me to discuss their schedule. When the clerk deigned to check me out she sniffed and told me how much she doesn't care for the brand of cheese I bought. I like small farm operated stores but the overall experience here is disappointing. read more

The meat counter is still absolutely great, but prices have gone up a little bit. Tendercrop farm is nice, but they aren't really offering much that isn't offered elsewhere nearby for cheaper. I feel like (with the exception of the meat counter) the place has turned into more of a boutique type grocery store than a practical one. read more

Excellent bread, veggies, sausage was wonderful as was the chicken salad spread. Look forward to coming back

Great corn! Great strawberries! Staff is very helpful. My first time shopping here since Tuttle's closed.

I have always had the best things to say about tendercrop farm to family and friends. After a bad experience with an employee behind the meat counter I can no longer speak highly of the business. I tried to buy 2lbs of ground beef specifically 95% lean. When I wasn't looking the employee grabbed one pound from the 95% lean and instead of letting me know that they were out of 95% lean he tried to sneak by the 85%. Thankfully fellow shopper saw this and alerted me to the fact of what he had done. The employee tried to say "its buy one get one free so it doesn't matter"... Working in retail, I was very put off by his shady business practices. I will no longer shop at tendercrop farm or speak highly of it. Its important to realize the power behind every business transaction you have. Tendercrop and their butcher completely dropped the ball on this one. read more
