What a lovely family farm shop. The owner Theresa and her daughter Rachael took time to talk about the farm and made recommendations of other area farms we should visit. They have local meat and cheese, yummy cookies and pies and scones. The scones tasted (almost) just like mine, not dry at all. They also have a large selection of cute gift items.They make cool seed starter pots from cow manure to help reduce the amount of plastic that goes into the landfill and make use of something most farmers get rid of. This place is totally worth a visit!

Didn’t appreciate being called greedy by the owner this morning (Thanksgiving) for asking to purchase two chocolate pies. I’m usually good about ordering my pies in advance, but my son was just diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease three weeks ago. So in between the multiple visits to CCMC, labs, MRI and iv infusions, ordering pies by the deadline slipped my mind. I’m sorry you’re frazzled, short handed and have had a busy three days, but I would trade you my last four weeks for those three days any day. Please be kind and don’t judge, you never know what someone else is going through.

Beautiful place, kind helpers, and homemade goods are delish! Fresh veggies are always looking their finest and usually most tasteful. Over all our favorite local farm.

An otherwise decent business with a good selection of boutique food products, and plant nursery. But I had a problem when checking out. My purchase was less than $10, I only had two bills in my wallet, a $20 and a $5. An older woman checked me out and gave me the total and I handed her a $20, she was momentarily distracted and when she came back to give me my change it was change for a $10. I said I gave you a $20 and she fired back I had given her a $10 and was emphatic about it. I protested a little and she stood her ground. I'm an easy going guy and I didn't want to make a scene, I do value my money but for $10 I wasn't going to get into it with a local.(Update edit) Freunds did reach out to resolve the issue I had, it shows they are a business that values it's customers and integrity.

Great place to stop by! Their pies are really superior, especially the cherry pie. Their chicken pot pie makes for a tasty and easy dinner too!Best produce and a fun environment. Their employees are cheerful and the bakery treats are lovely. Five stars all around!

Super nice market with baked goods, fresh produce and even dog treats! Friendly staff and great flowers and plants (but have to come back in the spring for those)!

One of the real treasures of the northwest corner - the perfect place to get all sorts of fresh baked goods, produce, plants and many other things you didn't realize you crave! really a one stop shop! Everything is yummy!!

This place is amazing - I can only imagine what it's like during the summer when farm stands are in season. I went one chilly January day, and the shop alone was just full of stuff - local, good stuff. You walk in, and are immediately greeted by a table of honey with colorful angels overhead. Immediately on your left is a huge shelving unit of jams, sides, and sprinkles (as one turns to their local farm to buy). The coolers are stocked with ready made soups and frozen meals, as well as milk, drinks, and a surprising variety of vegetables. There's even fruit - how does one store apples into January? They have baked goods - I highly recommend the brownies. They have local dog cookies - my canine friend scarfed down his cookie I impulse purchased at the register. There's a table devoted to potatoes, and a rack of area attractions. Really, they're just missing postcards. They're currently accepting cash donations to the local food bank at the register. As payment, they accept cash, Apple pay, credit cards, and checks.

Cute and affordably priced; lots of local goods from produce to dairy to meat etc. Not a huge selection but things seem to be in decent condition. Also a lot of other local goods like honey, jams, fudge, etc. Very nice employees and things were generally labeled and organized well. Baked goods looked a little weak but I guess that's not the main draw anyway. Overall a decent stop if you're in the area.
