Absolutely fantastic milk, veggies and meat!
Supercool barn.
Really nice farm stand, bread, veggies, meat, cheese and their own ice cream among many other goodies. Prices are good and veggies are top quality.The sweet corn was particularly outstanding. Definitely worth the trip!
Me and my wife were excited to get raw milk from Jersey cows because we researched how creamy and delicious it was plus the health benefits of raw milk. We put milk in our coffee to reduce our saturated fat intake from cream or half and half. 1 quart of milk was $11.00 (with a $2.00 bottle deposit) 1 QUART. When we tried it, it tasted just like the barn from whence we bought it from. Not appealing whatsoever. We weren't too concerned because it was for our coffee mostly. The next morning when we put it in our coffee, we expected a rich creamy color to it. Well the coffee stayed a pretty dark color, much darker than when we put the same amount of grocery store whole milk into it. Before you think we didn't shake the bottle, we did, vigorously. When we tasted the coffee, we could HARDLY taste ANY cream in it. It was like we put in 1%. Yes, we did put in the same amount of milk we put in from the grocery store. (if you're wondering) Why wasn't this supposedly WHOLE milk creamy? Why was grocery store whole milk twice or even three times creamier? Well then we remembered the OTHER dairy products they sell. Ice CREAM, and cream in pint size bottles. Where do they get the CREAM for those products? Well it's obvious, they SKIM their "whole milk!" They do not tell you that you're getting skimmed milk when you buy it for a hefty price either. They sell it as WHOLE milk. It's far from whole. Like I said the grocery store stuff was THREE times creamier. This is FALSE advertising and basically STEALING from the consumer. Buyer beware. I returned my bottles for the deposit and will NEVER go back there AGAIN.
I found a hidden gem. It was in the next town over: Goffstown. This was an excellent experience. You enter into a barn. To the left is a huge picnic table and three calves. The calves all seemed happy and well cared for. Since I love cows I spent about 10 minutes looking them over. Mixed in was a pleasant and helpful staff member. She responded to my questions: she actually gave me her opinion, not just the answer is wanted to hear. Then I went to the right. This was where the products for sale were. There was freshly packaged meats, cheeses, butter, cream and raw milk. I looked out the window in the retail area and saw a herd of adult cows. It was great to see them. Love cows. Then I found IMO the star of the shop. The ice cream. After looking over about 8 or 9 flavors, I picked the blueberry buttermilk. I love all things blueberry and this didn't disappoint. I think it was the best ice cream I have ever eaten. Overall, this was well worth the trip. If anyone is interested in fresh, near the source dairy this place will scratch that itch. It is a nice destination with a fantastic set of rewards.
Great milk! and many other products. Raw milk from Jersey cows is the way to go. Boil it about 10 to 15 minutes and enjoy the real nutritions not synthetic vitamins added to pasteurized milk. BTW, neither myself or my family got sick from real milk!!
Charming local farm with excellent ice cream. Stopped by Benedikt Dairy while I was in the area. Not far from Manchester, though it did require a small detour down local roads. The setup was modest: a small parking area next to a barn (no signage, so keep your eyes open), and inside, you’ll find a tiny self-serve store and a petting area with young calves. Like many small New England farms, Benedikt runs on an honor system and membership model. Shoppers pay at the counter, and members get access to additional dairy selections from a separate fridge. For casual visitors like me—just looking for something to enjoy on the spot—the offerings were limited, but I came specifically for the ice cream. I picked up a couple of small cups: vanilla and mango lassi. They didn’t have spoons available, so unless you keep one in your car, be prepared to wait for it to melt a bit. Still, once the vanilla softened, it was phenomenal. Possibly the best I’ve had in New England. Soft, creamy, with just the right hint of iciness to make it refreshing and satisfying.
