Stone Gardens Farm

Have been part of this co-​op for years and years & it keeps getting better & better! Fresh veg, local & great tasting.
I share the ½ share with my neighbor & there is always such an abundance & variety we can’t always consume it all in a week (luckily some things can be frozen).
Thank you all for working so hard to bring fresh, local & healthy food. Keep up the great work!
Love you guys!

Lovely little farm with fresh everything and meat locked up in it’s own refrigerated cooler. Corn goes fast so get it early.

Excellent veggies, kind people. More of a variety than most farmers makets/​stands… ground cherries and tomatillo’s??? Nice! My next visit will be for a broiler chicken.

I’ve only been here to pick up a Thanksgiving Day turkey. Wait, no, that’s not quite accurate — when we arrived for the bird, they also had some green vegetables we wanted, some Delicata squash and some other item (I forget what) that was on our shopping list. That’s pretty impressive for late fall pickins’ in New England.
And there was a woman working who could actually confirm which of the squashes was Delicata — a necessary service that had not been available in the Milford Whole Foods.
And then they had been so accommodating about the turkey to begin with. I had contacted them, by email, just prior to Thanksgiving, and they got back to me right away, and had enough turkeys to reserve one for me, and were all-​in-​all very pleasant and professional. There were a lot of people there on the Wednesday before the holiday, but they managed to get all of us, and our turkeys, in and out rather efficiently, but in a friendly, farm-​y way.

I was introduced to this farm by a co-​worker who had enrolled in their Summer 2010 CSA program. She was very delighted with their vegetables and often brought in leftover produce since the crops were so plentiful.
This summer I decided to join the program as well and registered for a half-​share. It was a great decision that I plan to continue next year. Their website has all the details for those of you like me who hadn’t ever heard of a CSA before. I would recommend checking them out. They run a farm stand that you can visit to purchase veggies/​herbs and even beef/​poultry (must place order before pick-​up). I’ve purchased both a pckg of ground beef and a whole chicken earlier in the summer. Both were amazingly fresh and nothing like what I was used to eating.
Everything I’ve received from them over the last three months was freshly picked and delicious. A huge difference from the stuff you find at Stop & Shop. I like vegetables and thought I was pretty exposed to them but joining this program opened up a whole new world for me. Not only did I try things I’d never heard/​seen before like kohlrabi; I also learned ways to prepare them.
Stacia (wife/​owner) sends out weekly newsletters (something I don’t hear other farms doing) about what’s going on the farm and exactly what you can expect in your share that week. Their newsletter also gives you nutritional information; advice on cleaning/​storing items; tons of recipes; and even information on a vegetable’s history/​origin. I think for a first timer like me this was a huge help.
If you’re someone who enjoys vegetables and trying new things I would highly recommend this farm’s CSA program to you. Or at least stopping by to check out the farm stand. Like anything else the program does require a lil time and commitment on your end. But you truly reap the rewards bringing home fresh/​local/​healthy food. I can’t say enough good things about this family farm and all that they offer.
