A very pleasant small farm market with a limited selection of choice items. I thought the best thing was the dairy selection, some really good milk, half and half and apricot yogurt from a local producer. Bring your own egg carton if you have one of those plastic ones, they recycle. The eggs are their own production. The produce selection was small, but it was early March. The parsnips and carrots we bought were both better than the supermarket variety. The baked goods we sampled, a cheddar cheese scone and banana bread, were good, but nothing extraordinary.

Awesome place! I go there weekly to get raw milk and fresh veggies. Raw milk is *very* hard to find and they get as much as they can but it does sell out occasionally. Best to call ahead if you’re coming from any distance and they can put some on the side for you. The vegetables are top-notch and I’ve never been disappointed with anything that I’ve purchased there. I hear rave reviews about the baked goods but, sadly, I’m trying to lose weight so I haven’t partaken of those. Again, there’s a limited supply so timing is important. The people at Holbrook are the best part. They’re always so friendly and accommodating. I just bought some asparagus root and got a free lesson on how to plant it and what to look for as it grows. They just couldn’t be any more helpful. This is really everything that a farm market should be — the freshest produce, specialty items and baked goods. Being in the fresh game means that they can’t always fulfill everyone’s desires because things run out, but they aren’t a high volume grocery store so you need to expect that.

Nothing special here. 12 dollars for a gallon of milk? Really? Very limited stock of anything. No bread or pastries. It is supposed to be a bakery? They are open until 2pm on weekends not 6pm like the website says. Look other places for milk unless money is no issue.
