Every season something new happens at FFF. This year, they are experimenting with a self-serve farm…read morestand on days when we can't make the pop-up markets on occasional Saturdays. I don't know if it's a placebo effect but everything I've ever purchased at FFF has been phenomenal. Knowing the produce is grown on the premises makes it taste better? It could sway my opinion to a more positive direction but there is no arguing with the sweetness of freshly picked sugar snap peas. I started snacking on them on the drive home and could barely stop myself. The clean earthiness of small beets, small enough to leave the skins on and roast them. Tastes like clean dirt. Love that. There was also a varietal of bok choy. Salt, olive oil, oven for a few minutes. That...just that...was dinner. It's a weird thing to taste how far away I've come from locally grown food; to have my tastes muted by a commercially grown industry. FFF food is like coming home to where we belong.

I knew nothing about this place when my wife suggested for a surprise lunch on a Saturday…read moreafternoon, and we had to rush over as they have limited hours. It was cold and raining outside and I was happy to get out of it and relax. Sadly, I quickly found out her surprise involved eating outside under a tent in the cold and rain on a November day. Sigh. At least they had blankets on the benches. We ordered in the far tent and the menu board was both helpful (it listed everything in each entree, including onions) and annoying (it indicated no substitutions were allowed, including onions). Not to be deterred, I picked the pepperoni pizza with hot honey, basil and Calabrian chili peppers. My wife ordered the Margherita pizza. Both were ready in about 15 minutes, but upon delivery to our table it became clear that a couple of things were off. First, my wife's pizza was cold and mine was pipping hot. Second, mine had so much basil- which in places was left in 2-3 leaf bunches- that perhaps they just cleaned out the pantry for the last order of the day. The crust in spots were burned, but I could live with that. However, it was so floppy that it couldn't be picked up under any condition. Everything but the outer inch of crust was like a thin wet tortilla. And their plastic cutlery wasn't up to the challenge, ripping the pizza toppings off and turning my pizza into a casserole. That being said, the flavors were wonderful on my pizza. The hot honey made for a really tasty flavor balance, and the copious amounts of curling pepperoni were a nice change of pace from the cheap stuff. The peppers were good too, and I wish I could source some locally. My wife's pizza was okay, though the whole mozzarella clumps reminded of dollops of Ricotta and they were very cold as if they were added after baking. Odd. I don't mind paying for expensive pizza if it is good. I am also not a pizza snob and will gladly eat subpar pizza. But, to overpay ($26 for mine alone) for pizza that is just a mess in a cardboard box rubs me the wrong way. The same goes for buying ($24) a cold pizza. The dessert we ordered was a Paris-Brest, and being a choux fan I absolutely loved it. Delicious with hints of coffee, almonds, nuts, and some flavorings I couldn't place, I would quickly come back here just for that. As for their pizza, I just don't know. On a nice pleasant day it would be fun, but too many mistakes on our pizzas makes me leery of ordering them again for those prices.

The farm has PYO raspberries, sunflowers, zinnias and pumpkins. There was also produce at a good price, cider donuts and local honey from the farm.

We were also greeted by the farm dogs when we arrived. All the staff was friendly and helpful. There was no entrance fee and all the items were priced very reasonably. I hope to go back later in the season to get our carving pumpkins.

My wife and I wanted to go apple picking so we came here first as part of our daytrip adventure…read more For me, if the drive doesn't involve going into the country and along small roads it really isn't a fall excursion, and this place seemingly was out in the country. When we arrived, it was overcast but quickly brightened up and we had a pleasant time. The woman working (Kristy?) pointed out at the start that the previous weekend had cleaned out most of the apples from the trees, but advised there were some to be had. I think she indicated they had nine types, many of which I had never heard of before (Cameo anyone?). They were clearly marked on a string hanging from a tree, but I recommended next year they make little signs. Anyway, it was true that most of the apples were off the tree but we still found plenty to take home. And, most actually tasted great (I don't like Macintosh or Red Delicious apples). We had the entire orchard for ourselves for the first 45 minutes or so, and it was very relaxing. We even found a couple of families of chipmunks in the trees. There are other things to do as well, such as a nature walk around the pond, and some activities for kids during their events. Their country store was well stocked with meats, jams, vegetables (they have "pick your own vegetables too for those who don't own a garden), and pastries. We each had a cider donut, and they were yummy. I had never heard of this place before, but really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back.

A lot of parking and sitting areas. I have been wanting to get there to try fresh dumplings from a family owned company called two little dumplings. There were a good amount of vendors and food options. We walked around all the vendors before finally finding the one we went for. It had the longest line of people and the wait was so worth it. We split that days special of chicken and Thai basil dumplings. They packed a lot of flavor in every bite - zesty (lime), spicy (ginger, garlic, black pepper), herby (Thai basil), and umami (fish sauce)! There was peanut sauce with hot chili oil, scallions and friend onions. Loved the dumplings but would go with the tradition sauce next time. There were a lot of other great vendors and we ended up also getting spicy rosemary nuts that were so good. Glad we took the drive and will definitely be back for other goodies. They also sell take home frozen dumplings that they post in their facebook page weekly.

During the week, it's wholesale only, but on Saturdays they open it up for retail to the public. This doesn't seem to be the place for the academic-type farmers, if you know what I mean. You know, the Michael Pollan reading ones who can recite an entire thesis on the definitions of organic. I love those people too, but most of the farmers here are of a different variety. The ones I saw today are the farmers who have been doing it forever, and who haven't bothered to scrub the soil out of their finger nails before coming to hawk their wares. When I went today, there weren't a whole lot of fruits and veggies, but there were a ton of plants. The plants alone were definitely worth the trip. I restrained myself and only purchased a nice rosemary plant. A great farm near my mother's house - Stanton's - also had a gorgeous array of strawberries. There's nothing like a good early June strawberry. They're smaller than those hulking California ones but the taste is a thousand times better. At 5.75 for a quart, it might seem a bit pricey but I think the quality makes it worth the price. There are also several little craft stands, along with vendors selling nut butters, jams and the like. Oh, and they take credit cards. I can't wait to come back when it's full-on summer.
