This place is a local gem. I have always stopped on the way home from work to pick up whatever I…read moreneed that night, but during this pandemic it has been so helpful. The variety and quality of produce is very good, local when in season. The carrots recently have been the best I have ever had. I also check out the plants and flowers, ice cream and grilling meats. The owner and employees are really nice and always make me feel better when I leave than when I arrived.

Thank you Katie for your wonderful veggies. We picked up our called in order today and it was…read moreperfect. Everything I asked for was there just as I had requested. I have always gone to The Farm for the last 42 years and found it to be good now with COVID-19 and the call in order you have out done yourself!!! Thank you for keeping the social distancing protocol and glove/mask use installed. Please keep safe and healthy. We will see you next week :) Linda G.

The quality here is A+ highlights are: pre marinated…read morechickens all kinds, you make and guarantee awesome, a sneaky hit is their french bread, not sure where they get their bread but a best ever, their home made soups and then lastly (forget brand...) some pre made pasta sauces and wait, almost forgot, dips!

I grew up on the north shore and remember visiting Brooksby Farm when I was a kid…read more I visited on Sunday with my 2 kids for storytime and wow has it impressively changed - all positive!!! 1) There's stuff for kids now! Storytimes, playground with views of the animals, a hayride, and more! I highly recommend the storytime. They read 2 stories, sang hello to every child, had songs/rhymes, played with a parachute, crafts, and even apples, donuts, and cider - all amazingly free!!! The playground was fun for my 2 year old son and 7 year old daughter, but best for the 1.5-6 age range. There are rest rooms beside the farm store, but they're medal toilets with no seats, so my daughter refused to use them. (I don't blame her.) That's the only thing that kept this from a 5 star experience. We'll be back soon. Worth the hour drive from where we live on the south shore.

I had a great experience! I came here for PYO peaches and blueberries. The blueberries were $4 for…read morea small carton or $6 for a large one. The peaches were $20 for a bag that fit about 20. There were lots to pick from and the employees were friendly. This farm is very big I would definitely consider coming back for some of their other picking seasons.

I can't begin to describe the corn here, never in all my long years have I had such heavenly…read morecorn!!!!!!!! They have a sign by the register where the corn has come from on that day. Today we had the corn grown in Hadley and honestly it was so wonderful I went into ecstasies!! This is a TRUE family farm, they are nice people and don't overprice at all. I went to a local city run "farm stand" and the veggies were not fresh and they charged SO much for the products. Please try Gibney out, they are truly the best!!

PS- I've also been fortunate to remember to get the disposable bag here when the holiday tree has to be taken down. :-( Happy Holidays Everyone Suzzanne

I've been going to Henry's for the 32 years I've lived in Beverly…read more I consider it to be a reliable place to get quality food. It's expensive, and usually worth it. Especially great are their premade foods by the deli counter. Their different types of chicken salad is a favorite of my husbands. Their cookies are decent, especially the butter crunch. Their house made chicken pot pie is very popular with so many people, I have brought it to friends when they are home sick and I don't want to cook. No one is disappointed with that. They make all their food in-house. So good. Their desserts are quite good. Recently had a small event and didn't feel like cooking. I supplemented with a gallon of their hearty vegetable soup, and their little desserts. The veggie soup was just too healthy to be popular with this crowd, so that was a bad choice on my part. The desserts were a bit hit. They have flowers, cute paper goods, great house made hamburgers, we go there often. Never disappointing, but much more expensive than Shaws or Market Basket. Having said that, we feel it is worth it.

To start off, the prices are WAAAAY too high. The staff that works there come off as robots and not…read morefriendly. I went to the bakery to buy some pastries and there were flies covering the food. I explained to the young man that there was a problem there and he shrugged his shoulders and continued to sell the pastries to customers. The men who work in the deli are just outright rude. I asked a man to make me sandwich and he rolled his eyes slamming the food like I asked him to donate a kidney. I spoke with the manager and he said "Yeah, we have a high turnover. Sorry" The store is old and gross.

They were so big that they almost didn't fit in the box! My muffins were absolutely packed with chocolate chips and it was quite a feat to eat a whole muffin in one sitting.

The kids loved going from station to station. There is quite a bit to do here, and it's a massive place. They loved the playground, the jump zone, the corn maze, and the various sports. The train was also fun. The kids didn't want to leave! Food was tasty, and the hot cider donuts were terrific. We also bought some apple cider to go. Parking was free and customer service was friendly. The weekday price also made it a solid value. We were very happy we made the trek to get here.
