Allandale Farm — Attraction in Boston

Today, my friend took me to this farm, saying that he's been coming here since he was a kid. This place is so cute!! We went just before closing.

They had all kinds of plants available. I wish we had more time so we could've asked an employee for help so we could find something suitable for our homes.

I absolutely adored the grocery section where they have fruits and vegetables that they grew themselves. I picked up a blueberry lavender drink mix-in, apple butter, fig jam, bee pollen, maple syrup crunchies (not their formal name 😋), clover honey goat cheese, and lavender honey goat cheese.

Later the same day, I bought some almond flour cracked pepper crackers and made a charcuterie board with some Costco prosciutto, the goat cheeses, and the fig jam. I also made a pizza with the fig jam as well as pre-made crust, arugula, mozzarella, and the prosciutto. The goat cheese and the fig jam that I bought from The Farm were absolutely phenomal and I'll definitely be craving it after I eat the rest of it over the course of the next few days. I am looking forward to trying the other products I got here and coming back to try more!

Lastly, at the checkout line, I noticed I had managed to kick up some dirt at the arboretum onto my new ankle tat. I was a little worried that I need to keep it clean and the lovely woman working one of the registers went to go get me a wet paper towel so I could wipe the dirt off.

While shopping, I also ended up carrying so many jars in my arms, I mentioned that it would be great if I had a basket and someone working there overheard and brought me a basket. (Good thing! I'm such a klutz!) A+ customer service. I absolutely loved the 15-20 minutes that I got to spend here...

I have bought my Christmas Tree from Allendale Farm's for the past 7 years. I always pay extra for the Fraser Fir (less shedding of the needles and it is supposed to be the "best" tree).

This year, I bought my tree after Thanksgiving and put it in the stand. I am used to Christmas trees being thirsty for the first week or two and then you have to water them 2-3 days. I immediately filled my stand with water; close to the brim. It never drank any water, meaning the 6 weeks I had my tree I not once put water in it after the initial time. It didn't have that pine tree smell, it was constantly losing needles and was obscenely dry (dryer then what I am used to).

The only conclusion I can come up with is they had cut this tree or received it months before selling OR I bought an extremely dead tree.

When I took it down the other day (Jan 4th); I noticed how dry it was and the amount of needles that fell off from when I initially got it was substantial.

I've been buying fresh trees for 4 decades, this was a let down. Especially when you pay over $200 for a 6 foot tree. I wouldn't suggest buying from here, go to Home Depot/Lowe's or where ever they sell trees and...

The best farm in the whole area. Limited selection, but thats how you know it's a legitimate farm! Enjoy local caught fish in parking lot every Wed till dawn!! They have sushi grade scallops.. VERY good for you and edible raw.. very good!

They have pastured organic eggs and Dairy, and beef..

If you think this place is too expensive it's because you don't understand nutrition and or you are not willing to pay more for your own health benefits what's the point of paying for low-quality nutrition one for a couple dollars more you have high-quality nutrition.. you can always go...
