Spring Brook Farm Country Store

This farm is my go-​to stop for grass-​fed cow’s milk (Shaw Farm!) They also supply me with a lot of my produce, & they make some killer baked goods — their farmhouse granola is some of the best I’ve ever had!
The customer service experience can sometimes be a bit… rough; it depends on who is working & what their mood is that day. No one is ever rude, however.
Another thing that I really like about this place is all the other little trinkets they sell — jewelry, soaps (I want to try every single scent), ornaments, decorations, linens, etc. etc. It’s an eclectic collection of things, but it’s beautifully displayed & it’s hard to go in there without finding something you really, really like!

My wife and I come here as we always do after one of her doctor’s appointments. We have probably spent over 200 dollars here in 2 months and really enjoyed the fresh food/​produce. The reason I am giving one star is because the customer service here is in the toilet, literally.
I politely asked to use the bathroom because as a paying customer I thought well you know when you gotta go you gotta go. I would not really care if they said something to the effect of restrooms are unfortunately for employees only or something to that effect. But I was lied to.
The girl first said when I asked to use the restroom said we don’t have restrooms. Okay… so where do the employees go to the bathroom? Then when my wife asked the same employee later where they go to the bathroom she said they used porta-​potties. But then she followed up by saying they don’t have running water at all?
Okay… so that is gross… if what she is saying is true… they use porta-potties…but don’t have running water… how is that sanitary? I don’t want their filthy hands holding my produce. In addition, if they don’t have running water… how do they wash their supposedly «fresh» produce?
I guess just all of this left a really foul taste in my mouth. Just say restrooms are for employees only. I don’t mind being told no. But to lie… or if you are telling the truth that is disgusting. Oh and for the majority of your staff who seems to be around the age of seniors in high school or freshman in college; I have some customer service advice for you… at least pretend that you care that your customer is not having their needs fulfilled or helped. I got the impression every employee here really did not care about their customers… or their welfare.
Anyways you just lost a customer who has spent 200 dollars in the past two months. I am sure Gary’s farm across the street would let me take a leak in their porta-​potty. Or maybe they actually have plumbing?

The epitome of the New England farm stand. Love everything about this place… but most of all is the heirloom tomatoes. Fresh eggs, local milk and great produce.
One tip… spend the extra $ & buy some of their bacon.

I LOVE IT HERE! I’ve been trying to find this place for years! We got lost one day and ended up here. This was back in 2005! I’ve been searching for 7 years! So happy I remembered my old pics and I took a picture of ½ the name :) So happy we have internet ;) I’ll be going here today, but instead of one child, we now have three! This will now be our family tradition each Christmas season.

I love this place! I’m in here all the time. I buy tons of their awesome fruits and veggies. They always have stuff fresh from the field. Also super fresh baked goods, jams, and jellies. Right now their pumpkins are wicked cheap ($ 0.29/lb)! It’s the perfect place to buy all your produce and support a local farm at the same time.

The place is awesome! Def over priced, but they have neat stuff. Antiques in the back are like a travel back in time.
Sometimes the stuff is rotted, but for the most part everything looks fresh.
they also have candy for the kids.
Have to give it a 3 stars tho… One of the lady’s behind the counter is nice. The other is a grouchy witch.
I heard her get into it with the customer in front of me about a check… very unprofessional!
My husband also asked if he could split a large carton of fruit in half because he couldn’t eat all that… (it was a lot plus would probably go bad in a day or two)
I can see why they would say no, but def could have been much more polite about it.
I also heard her bark orders at the farm boy as if he were a dog!!! NOT cool in my book…
Get rid of the snotty lady and this place would by a 5 star!

America needs more places like Spring Brook Farm.
This little store is amazing. It sells the produce grown here, as well as local meats and breads. Expensive, but worth it. Folks, the food you buy in Stop & Shop is chemically laced and genetically modified. It’s garbage. America needs more places like this that sell actual FOOD! Grass fed beef! No, cows don’t eat corn! Ever see a cow munching on a stalk of corn? No! Ya don’t!
You need to go here and you need to buy and eat the foods here. Locally grown and sourced. Healthier and better tasting.
Not to mention — it’s a wonderfully decorated store! Among the fruits and vegetables are antiques and soaps and moisturizers. The adjoining greenhouse room has things like empty goose eggs (?!) and other very neatly displayed cool country items. It’s a great little place to browse and a WONDERFUL place to shop!
$ 6 for a pound of ground lamb is expensive, but folks, the stuff in the big supermarkets is literally THOUSANDS of different animals in one pack of ground beef/​lamb/​what have you. Here, it’s a guarantee that the pound of lamb you bought is from a single animal.
I love this store.

A two-​minute drive from the entrance-​way of my work brings me to a nice patch of farm stands in the quaint town of Littleton.
I get jitters upon entering a small, local, family-​owned farm stand at the mere thought of what fresh delicacies I may find. Mind you, as I mentioned previously, there are three farm stands directly next to each other and I have yet to choose a favorite since they all contain many a splendid goods.
If Spring Brook doesn’t grow, bake, or obtain it from an animal on premises, they strive to get it from the next available source! I buy my veggies, fruits, milk, and a few other treats (awesome local cheeses!) for the week and it usually runs me around $ 20-​$ 25. And it is all terrific!
They push the «buy local» aspect of things which I too am a huge purveyor of.
Stop. Buy Local. Eat Fresh. Feel Blessed!

I used to live quite close to this little country store and did all of my in-​season shopping here. They usually have the basics (potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, etc), but rotate out their seasonal fruits and veg. Spring Brook also has a pretty delicious sampling of cheeses, jellies, and salad dressings; I would get my bread from here (perfect cinnamon-​raisin loaf!).
The thing that sets Spring Brook apart from the other little stands around the area is their nick knack section. The owner enjoys sifting through estate sales and bringing them back to the stand to be staged in the greenhouse around back. Every season and holiday has its own themed arrangement (bird houses and tea sets in the spring, sleds and crystal for the winter, and their Halloween and Christmas set ups are always spectacular!). These are vintage items, not items prefabricated to look old. There is history with your purchase, not to mention you’re playing into the three R’s (reduce-​reuse-​recycle). I’ve had luck finding baking utensils, old books, mirrors, and pace settings (along with my small-​time grocery purchases).

I love you guys and I miss you so much this past summer, I was quite bummed you didn’t partake of the Farmers’ Market by South Station this past summer.
Ah well, luckily I do always get to swing through on my way back from the city to my hometown!
The staff here is always warm and friendly. This place is perfect to pick up those interesting treats and host gifts that will have everyone at the party raving about how clever and delicious your contribution turned out!
Thank you for being reliably fabulous!

Good selection of vegetables and other local products. I much prefer to buy things here then at Shaws or any of the grocery stores.
The best is the chocolate milk that they sell. They don’t sell lowfat chocolate anymore so now I just pour half a glass of chocolate and then the other half as lowfat.

Today was one of those «10» days in Massachusetts, so staying inside wasn’t an option. Mr. K and I hopped into the convertible (don’t get excited; it’s only a Solara) and traveled through some of the winding roads in the area, eventually reaching Spring Brook Farm. The place was buzzing.
I did my research and discovered that this farm is the 11^th oldest working farm in Massachusetts and has been owned and operated by the Matheson family for eight generations. Pretty impressive.
Spring Brook does not have too many local fruits and vegetables thus far, but the green house is chock full of gorgeous plants and flowers. We ended up getting a patio tomato plant that also has basil at its base for a bonus. We used to have a tremendous garden with tomato plants (one time, I believe we had about 500 tomatoes, which we made into salsa and sauce), zucchini, and peas, but the deer and raccoons beat us to the punch (or produce) one season too many. We haven’t had a garden in several years, but we’re hoping to get at least a few decent tomatoes out of the deal this season. For $ 11.95, it’s worth a try.
Typical of country stores, this establishment has an assortment of fudge, jelly beans, cookies, pure maple sugar candies, honey, and other goodies, as well as blue and white pottery, jelly, and candles. I didn’t check out the refrigerator area but at quick glance, I did notice several different types of milk, cheese, and eggs, all of which are produced by the farm. Outside are mounds of loam and mulch… and an outhouse.
Can’t wait to come back in several weeks to check out more home-​grown vegetables. In the meantime, we’re not exactly cutting the mozzarella for a tomato/​mozzarella/​basil salad, but we’re hopeful that our patio plant lives up to expectations.

It’s ok. A little too foofy for my tastes. I also hear they resort to shady business practices. Gary’s Farm Stand across the street and Springdell Farm next door are better in my book.

Pricey or Cheap? Depends on what you get, it seems.
I get firewood for a good price here, if I haul it.
Big patio pots for $ 13.00
Unbeatable prices on Mums and Asters in the fall. ($ 5 for a BIG pot)
Their own meat, raised right there; fed with their own grain, grown right there. Hamburgers are expensive/​lb ($ 5). Porterhouse is cheap ($ 8). Er?
You can buy everything from manure to antiques in this joint. It’s a localvore’s heaven. Great local bread to amazing smoked buffalo mozzarella.
They have really cheap gladiolas and sunflowers, at the moment.
3/​$ 2. Whole foods was selling sunflowers $ 5/​stem.
If you are anywhere near here, at least buzz by for a peek.
