Wonderful spot on the North Shore to go Apple picking! Great…read moreapple selection and staff were super helpful about what varieties were still well stocked, what apples are best for baking, flavor profiles, and more. To get to the orchard for apple picking, you can either take a hay ride (for a fee of a few dollars) or walk (roughly 10 minute walk on well marked trail). Don't skip the Apple cider donuts! There is a food trailer outside where you can get them made fresh! Inside the farm store, you can get locally sourced items, baked goods, wine flights, and ice cream! There is a seating area connected to the farm store or you can grab a picnic table or bench on the lawn.

I feel bad in a way writing this review, and first off I have been going to your farm for 30 years…read more I came into your store today for strawberries, and bought 2 quarts for about $20. I had to throw both quarts out because the fruit was discolored,soft, and moldy. Its incredibly short sited as a business to sell this. I understand that you want to make money, but in the past the store fruit was small but good. Someone is aware of what you are selling the public, and quite honestly its sad. I held your business to a much higher standard. I was offered a refund if I drove back in and showed them the rotten fruit. Super dissapointed, and probably will never be back.

For a great value, I recommend the Wednesday night "Burgers and Bordeaux," which offers a good…read moreglass on wine and a choice of burgers for $25, prix fixe. This has got to be one of the best deals on the North Shore, and the burgers vary in toppings and include vegetarian offerings.

As far as gift or novelty shops are concerned, this place misses the mark a bit. It doesn't seem to…read morehave its own identity figured out, if that makes sense. Yes, it is a small space but it is pretty jam-packed with merchandise and lacks a general sense of cohesion...or at the very least, feng shui. For example...lingerie outfits hanging randomly above the doorway and window? Y'know, right by the silk pashminas and whatnot. Not what I'd expect from a gift store in Ipswich. Gift items span the continents - some Asian, South American, and even local designs from artists. Some of the items are ridiculously overpriced (i.e., little woven trinkets from Turkey - where I used to live - marked up astronomically). Yes, there are some neat finds to be had at Foreign Affairs, but I doubt I'd return.
