About time for a re-review…read more... Oh Averill Farm... How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. - The farm is family run and truly feels like it. The folks who work there are SO nice and helpful and friendly and kind. There are kiddos and farm pups running around, kind signs offering water for those who need it (in stark contrast to a certain corporate orchard we despise, which does not provide drinking water to patrons and does not allow patrons to bring water in, even for dogs). Averill is the kind of simply humane, thoughtful place that brings joy to my heart. - The farm is beautiful. So beautiful. On a coolish autumn morning, it's uncrowded and you can gaze out into the distance to see tractors mowing in distant fields, outlined against a periwinkle sky, rows and rows of neat trees, all impeccably well kept. Adjacent to the farm market, there's a big, wide field with a generous number of picnic tables placed all around, far enough from one another that you can pretend like you have the field all to yourself. - Farm produce and products are pure goodness. Apples and pears are magnificent, of course: juicy, healthy, not doused with pesticides. Cider donuts are freshly fried, well blotted, and not overly sweet. An apple crumb pie, redolent with butter and still warm at purchase, was world class, not overly sweet. Pear and apple cider are the embodiment of clean, adulterated fruit flavor. It's food I feel good about feeding to my kiddos. - The bathroom is a port-a-potty situation, but the one I used was pretty clean. There are four behind the farm store. - Pricing is fair. - Fellow patrons are civilized and respectful, which makes me so happy. Policies are generous, rules are reasonable -- and as a result, patrons don't feel like they have to claw back something from the business to even out the playing field. At some large, commercial places, you see some patrons pull apple after apple off of trees, take one bite, and then throw them down into the grass to rot (so they feel like their insanely high cost of entry is justified, I speculate). Averill owners and Averill patrons are respectful of one another, making for a truly pleasant visit. If you enjoy a bucolic, relaxing and beautiful apple picking (without the gaudy carnivalesque elements offered by some larger establishments), Averill Farm is an absolute must.

But it seems like they specialize in farm raised meats, they have a good amount in the several freezers found inside this little farm stand. Prices are typically 3X what you would pay for similar types of meat in the supermarket, but that's standard when you're buying quality, Farm fresh meats. A solid 4 Star rating for this wonderful Connecticut Farm stand.

(We rate them much higher for quality and lower in pricing than the nearby Tara Farms setup.) This time of year they've got a lot of pumpkins for sale, but then so does everyone else, of course. The folks working here have always been pleasant too deal with. They stay open later in the season than we'd expect, but that's only a good thing!

If you want to bring a book and coffee, the environment is conducive for a relaxing retreat. They welcome dogs and have two that hangout at the farm. The lavender smell is phenomenal- and you can enjoy it throughout the farm. They have all kinds of lavender products for you to buy from honey, to live plants, and dried bundles. They also have other farm fresh veggies. This has become my new source for eggs. They are only $6 a carton and taste so much better than store bought. If you enjoy livestock, they have chickens and goats that you are able to watch eat upon request. This is beautiful addition to Waterbury and I highly recommend to anyone. The prices are affordable and the family that runs it is friendly.

They have a huge selection of pumpkins and their prices are better than some other farms. The hayride is free and it takes you around the farm. One of our favorite things is seeing the farm animals. They have 2 pigs, several sheep, a cow, several chickens, and a llama. The sheep are really cute. We've never tried the corn maze, but it looks fun! The staff at this farm are so friendly and welcoming! They are wonderful and that's one of the reasons why we come back every year! This farm is great because there's no unnecessary fees, and no large crowds. It feels very down to earth, friendly, and local. This is a great farm and I highly recommend visiting the farm when they're open in October! 5 stars

It's mostly blueberries, but there are also blackberries, rasberries, elderberries... hmmm and falcons? Yes, falcons!

HUGE deals for berries ... we picked about five pounds of blueberries, which came out to around $9. Compare that to what: 3-4 bucks for a pint at the store? A no brainer.

I got 2 mini pumpkins for my classroom. My husband got a warm apple fritter. He loved it and said it was perfectly chewy, appley and cinnamony. They also sell cider and cider donuts. When in use, you can also watch cider being pressed. We were excited for all the games they have too. They have corn hole, jenga, and an apple slingshot!! Service was quick and friendly. We love it's a family atmosphere run by family. We were greeted so warmly by Mr Macci. 5 stars!
