What visitors say
We've been getting Milk, Kiefer, produce, baked goods and more here for 13 years now. (Local honey and maple syrup are a staple in our house) Never had one reason to complain, service is outstanding the milk is delicious and it's a very convenient way to shop locally.
Joseph Marsillo · 8 November 2026
Fun place to have some treats.
pierre genest · 9 October 2026
Why pay more? For the most part you can get everything sold here at Price Chopper for 1/3 less. I wasted a trip out to the sticks to find they no longer sell farm produce that everyone loved so much.
Toby Logan · 9 October 2026
Don’t bother. This place takes forever: lousy service, long wait times, and overpriced food. Every time I’ve tried to stop for a coffee or a muffin, I regretted it. I could’ve went home and baked something myself quicker than the time it takes them to ring them customers.
Rachael R · 10 October 2026
Delicious cheeses, vast assortment of meats, snacks and artisanal products. The grounds were well kept. The cows looked happy, as well.
