Veggie World Fruit & Vegetables

I recently moved nearby and was curious about this Farm's offerings. My review exclusively focusses…read moreon the food-related Farm-stand part of the business. They sell plants and flowers, but I didn't pay attention to that aspect of their operations. Cold Spring sells some of their own produce, products from other CT Farms and/or Orchards, Cold Spring branded products such as salsa, and other area products such as bread from a local bakery. I bought green cabbage, peaches, celery and salsa. Everything seemed appropriate quality for seasonal CT produce. The produce I didn't buy also looked good and represented what's in season pretty well. I will definitely go back for in season produce since I live in the area. This is an observation as opposed to a criticism. The reason I'm giving Cold Brook 4 Stars rather than 5 Stars relates to the extent of their offerings compared to another Farm Stand I frequently visit that's a bit farther away. That Farm Stand has a wide range of partnerships with high end CT businesses and they have things like high quality bagels, cheeses, pies, cupcakes, ice cream sandwiches, etc. That Farm Stand also has a wider range of canned goods, meats, and dairy products etc. I would travel farther to a Farm Stand like that because there are more products that interest me. Cold Spring will be the place I go for convenience when I want in season produce for a few days.

3 glorious seasons of the year you can find starter flats and baskets here at Cold Spring Broom…read more Annuals, perennials, and garden starters are all here! As they price individually and in sets, you may end up bringing home more plants than planned, but this is a good spot to get it all started. We now have a glorious set of tomatoes in progress, and now a couple extra tomato planters. The double decker wagons all over also help you take home more. The little farm store, extra colorful with its murals, has honey, maple syrup, salsa, and maybe more on down the season. It's neat to see start and end of season at the checkout, and the staff was kind. Thankfully there is extra parking is on both sides of the farm store, in case you're driving East, just look out for wagon traffic on your way through each greenhouse.

This review is based on a visit on a Thursday afternoon; the market is open on both Thursdays (from 3pm to 6pm) and Saturdays (9am to 1pm) from mid-June through October. I was doing errands in the area and saw signs all over, so I decided to check it out. Saturdays must be the more popular and busy day, as there were only two vendors when I stopped on a Thursday. There was a local farm and a local florist. I thought that maybe I had missed it as there were only these two, but I knew it was the market by a replica sign to the street signs near the two tents set up on a small green strip in the middle of the parking lot square. The farm had a wide array of fruits and vegetables, with sweet smells--particularly from the peaches--wafting through the air. They had a great supply and selection. The florist, Jenny's Flowers (seasonal fresh cut flowers from East Windsor), was extremely kind and had unique floral arrangements. I purchased two dahlia flowers for $3 each, both of which came with their own glass mason jars. It seemed to be a reasonable price, especially as I could keep the jars. I have never seen a dahlia in person before, and the ones Jenny's Flowers had were absolutely gorgeous. The colors and varieties were beautiful. She had other types of flowers as well including multi-type flower bouquets and sunflowers. I asked how to care for the dahlias, and she gave me good, helpful instructions. Though I was very pleased with my flowers (and I did not need any produce), I am surprised there were not more vendors and a wider range of products. The website for this farmers market boasts many more vendors and a wider range of goods than I saw. I may make a trip back on another Saturday, as this must be the day that all (or at least more) vendors are there. I really like the setting this market is in, and it has really great possibilities.

Veggie world is awesome. Talk about eating fresh. Once you have yourself a veggie world sub nothing else will compare. Subway now tastes like cardboard to me. I can't enjoy a home made sandwich either. Veggie world has turned my world around from the first bite. The staff is awesome too. Very nice. Ask for a tuna sub with bacon on it. read more

Zieleniak A Green Grocer

3.7

(3 reviews)

There are a half-dozen stores on Broad Street in New Britain which do the same thing Zieleniak…read moredoes. We just like the *way* they do it, and the way the place is laid out. Most important is that the world of Eastern European delicatessens tends, in New Britain, to be very forgiving with regard to food and/or produce which looks old, tired, or just not fresh. We found this to be the same in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn (New York) when we lived nearby years and years ago. Zieleniak defies this tradition and we're glad they do. We're not Polish, but really appreciate the cuisines of Poland, Hungary, and Germany (my family's heritage). Start by getting good pickles and sauerkraut (you can get cabbage-only, or Polish kapusta, with carrots). These items once were offered in barrels -- the health department probably intervened, because one now needs to reach in to a refrigerator to retrieve these lovely, briny/vinegary items. I can't get enough kapusta. Not only do I put it on hot dogs (Martin Rosol natural-casing, or Hebrew National), but I put it on ham sandwiches, on old roast beef, and also plain cheese sandwiches. A variety of good-quality fruits and vegetables is offered up front. We like the apples, and the choice of root veggies (celeriac, carrots, parsnips, rutabagas, turnips, and more). Cruciferous vegetables are also in abundance. A recent order of Brussels Sprouts was remarkably fresh and vibrant. The delicatessen, however, is the heart of this market. There are several cheerless women of various ages who work behind the counter. God bless them, because between them, they manage to understand my poor pronunciation of the Polish-language price markers for the various cured hams, salami, and specialty charcuterie. They have several different types of aspic-based cold-cuts ("Head Cheese" to the uninitiated). The light-colored one, with carrot shreds and some fresh herbs, is the one we prefer -- but they're all good, and sliced expertly, so it doesn't fall apart when one gets home. You'll notice that whether aspic-based, ham, liverwurst, mortadella or salami, everything's well-conserved, sliced perfectly, and a *magnificent* value. The head cheese is $6.99 per pound (we've paid $16 a pound in NY City at Schaller & Weber). The garlicky salami is only $5.99 a pound -- we'd pay twice as much for such rich, garlicky flavor and a splendid balance of fat to meat. Pepper ham, garlic ham, fatty ham, and lean ham are no more than $6.99 but are probably $4.99 -- and all are just wonderful. Get the cole slaw here if you're a cole slaw lover. Some call this slaw, with carrots, red cabbage and parsley in it, "calico slaw." Whatever you call it, it's wonderful. And they make cucumber salad with dill, onion and sour cream that will dissuade you, as it did us, from making your own. Who wants to peel, salt, drain, and slice cucumbers? Let them do it for you. They make this salad with rich, high-butterfat Polish-style sour cream. This sour cream is available for sale here (it's made in Illinois, but labeled nearly entirely in Polish, however). Round out the trip by buying tea (great herbal tea variety available, here), marmalade and jelly, soup and gravy mixes, and exotic canned vegetables and fruits (we say 'canned,' but it's all in jars so you can see what you're getting). Bread can be bought here, but you can also go down the street to one of the two decent bakeries. The bread, cake and cookie offerings are unremarkable. Did I mention that this place is an excellent value? Go here for an adventure -- but bring your patience, you may wait on line a little while (we avoid this by going at about 2:30 on a weekday).
