"Great selection of homemade jams,jellies,pasta sauce, honey and more! Family friendly atmosphere and service as well"

"Hadn't been in years and it was still just as beautiful and as wonderful as ever. The woman working in the store was very nice and friendly. Great selection of old time candies, handmade goods, salsas, jams, soaps, candles, etc. The pasta sauce I purchased was delicious. Really a special place!"

"We've been visiting the Hurst farm for decades, always finding something wonderful depending on the season. In the spring, the greenhouses are a great source of seedlings for both garden vegetables as well as flowers. Their early-season garden yields some of the best fresh asparagus you'll ever taste. During the height of summer, their produce is fresh and beautiful, as perfect as you could imagine. If you visit during autumn or winter, the wood stove provides a warm welcome from the chill, and odds are they'll offer you some mulled cider. Don't miss the opportunity to visit their sugar house in late winter, when they are boiling down the maple sap tapped from trees all around town. Their syrup is the real deal, and they're usually baking bread in the brick oven also. All in all, a charming, old-fashioned local family farm."

"Your standard brick and mortar locale this is not. This is a local homegrown staple that has exceptionally good quality goods. The salsas and honeys have been our favorites. If you swing by, the prices are what you'd expect for this type of market but you're supporting local "mom and pop" business of which these folks do a fine job. Good products that you can't ever go wrong with. You're paying for quality here."

"This was the best hayride my family has been on in Connecticut. It's a tractor-pulled wagon filled with loose hay and very bumpy, my 3-year-old loved it! The hayrides are at 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm on Saturdays, not sure about other days. The ride was about 45 minutes and included stops to play in a pile of hay in a barn, pick turnips, feed those turnips to cows, and then pick pumpkins. After the hayride we were treated to apple cider and cookies. A perfect fall activity! We also picked up some snacks, candy, and apple cider in the store. They have a great selection and everything is reasonably priced."
