The Flower Farm is the perfect place to dream of bountiful gardens and stock up on on excessive amount of veggies. I was up unusually early on a Saturday morning the other day (6am)... I had been instructed to meet friends for an event BUT they must have had too good of a night the night/morning before and never woke up. SO, what was I to do? Shop! I pulled into TFF at around 8am and was curious as to what time they opened. The owner? told me.."If you're here...we're open! Start shopping!"...awesome! The reason why I REALLY LOVE this place...their assortment of heirloom tomatoes. Now, I'm one to be obsessed with 'Tomatomania" and if you don't know what that is then you better ask somebody! Long story short, tomato mania...Morris CT... 150 varities of heirlooms...at 4.50 a pop! TFF...$2.00...yes, you heard that right...same stuff..smaller variety...$2.00. Although the variety was slim, they still had every one I needed and the owner? told me straight up that he beefed up his stock to compete with Tomatomania. So...what's not to love? Instead of driving 30 minutes, I drive 10. Instead of paying $4.50..I pay 2....it's a win win. (oh! and they have other cool varities of veggies as well...i.e...purple bell peppers!)

I can't believe there are no current reviews for Drazen. This place looks nothing like it did when…read morethe older reviews were done. They build a beautiful and open air building/farm stand and stocked it very well with not only their own many varieties of apples, peaches and soon plums and pears but also area farms' goods. Take a look at the video I posted to see what I'm talking about. Pick your own happens here like other local farms. It started with berries and progresses through the season to include apples, peaches, pears, plums, etc. They started carrying some (sort of) local bakery items that use their fruit. Elizabeth's in Wallingford supplies pies and breads. They have cider donuts from Neils, muffins from The bagelry at Olmo as well as Italian bread, asiago cheese bread and fresh Challah. A young man I asked about an apple variety I had never heard of (Dandee Red) was very knowledgeable. I also overheard a suggestion that some items are less expensive to purchase in the shop than picking on your own. But what's fun about that! By the way, masks are required and gloves are supplied to handles products to purchase. Enjoy the season and check out Drazen if in the area.

""Buying food at the farmer's market Stand in a line, people…read moreeverywhere" (Neil Young) We had a very enjoyable visit to the Southington Farmer's Market yesterday. We found it right on the Village Green where the annual Apple Festival starts. Parking was a non-factor, there were spots all over the immediate area and we snagged a prime spot on the corner of Main and Center Streets. Today was the first day they were open for the season, and the market was full of vendors, and everything seemed to be running like a well-oiled machine. We arrived shortly after the 3:00 opening and everything was already fully stocked and set up. The market was perfectly sized. Not too small, not overpoweringly huge, just about perfect. A leisurely stroll through the booths and stands will take around 30-40 minutes, I loved how the booths were adequately spaced apart so there were no logjams or crowds. The only real crowd we encountered was at Wave Hill Breads with a ten-person deep line of drooling customers. We finished our visit with some Wave Hill purchases. Some of the main categories of vendors included fruits, vegetables, pastries, breads, sauces, salsas, jerkies, guacamole, pizzas for one, soaps, flowers, crafts, straw baskets, honeys and syrups. All of those were enjoyed among a backdrop of live music. We picked up a container of great guacamole from Pop's Famous Guacamole, a wonderful jar of salsa from Angela's Kitchen, two adorable "Eight Ball" squashes from one of the produce vendors, and a bag full of goodness from Wave Hill Breads. Our Wave Hill Haul included a delicious eight-inch cheese pizza, a hunk of Three Cheese Monkey bread, and a beautiful Vanilla Citrus Scone. The vendors were all super friendly and chatty, and the whole afternoon had a very nice community/neighbor-like vibe. We loved every aspect of our visit to the Southington Farmer's Market. PRO TIP The Farmer's Market is scheduled for Fridays from 3-6PM at the Southington Town Green, beginning on Friday, June 20th, and ending on September 26th.

Pumpkinhead people are scarecrows with faces painted on the pumpkins as heads. They're creative and cute. There are two venues, The Forest and The Village. The Village is a walk through and it takes about an hour for $7. There are about 30 pumpkinheads with different scenes; church, saloon, bank, post office, fire house, etc. The Forest is a one mile drive through and takes about 20 minutes for $25. There are about 30 pumpkinheads with different scenes; coal mine, schoolyard, and more. The ride is narrated, there's a scavenger hunt, and you can buy treats for the ride, such as popcorn, cider, and cider donuts. They also have multiple shops onsite. The harvest store has produce, gourmet food items, souvenirs, and gifts. The garden center has annuals, perennials, shrubs, etc. The main store has hardware, house plants, pet supplies, and a Christmas shop etc. Around Thanksgiving, they open up for the Christmas season and the pumpkinheads are waiting to be viewed via drive by, in their holiday spirit. My family and I went last weekend to The Village. The kids and adults thoroughly enjoyed walking through and seeing all the pumpkinheads. They did a great job with the scenery and putting the pumpkinheads together. There were many photos ops. I especially loved the pumpkinhead wedding. For the kids, they had a hay bale maze, inflated tires to jump around on, a spider web rope playscape, and an area where they can shoot soft balls into a pond. They also were selling fresh to order apple cider donuts; picnic tables were available to sit on. The parking lot was large and they had people guide us where to park; they even had a police officer as a crossing guard. They have a seamless operation and this place is worth a visit!

Wallingford's Indoor "Winter" Farmers Market runs every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 through April 25th at 40 Wallace Ave. After that, the action shifts outdoors to 43 Wallace for the Summer Market on Saturdays May through November. We visited the indoor market today and were pretty impressed by it. First of all, there was plenty of parking in a few lots around the building. And once inside, we found the layout to be uncrowded and very pleasant to walk around and comfortably chat with the vendors. There were wide aisles and plenty of room for the customers to interact. The variety of the vendor booths was pretty broad -we saw stations selling meats, produce, jarred foods, seafood, eggs, mushrooms, baked goods, stationery, candles, dumplings, bagels, spices, cider, meat pies, clothing, honey, fudge, soaps, jewelry, pasta sauces, salsas, pastas, relishes, and even distilled spirits. Seriously, you could make a month's worth of meals from the choices available. We stopped at the Grumpy Dumpling booth and picked up five freshly made dumplings to take home, some New Haven-style bagels from Olmo Bagels, and a jar of salsa from Angela's Kitchen. Pricing for all of our selections was pretty reasonable, which greatly added to our overall pleasant experience at the indoor market. When things warm up a bit, we will surely visit their outdoor market.
