I usually spend about $40 a week at the NT farmer's market. I spent $60 at this one as the items I usually buy were way more expensive here. Limited offerings, super expensive, and poor quality on most items. I will not return. I was so disappointed. Here's the rundown. And for the record, we pretty much ate everything right away so the food didn't go bad on our end. It was already bad.
String beans and lettuce - excellent
Raspberries - terrible, good on top but discolored and rotten ones underneath. Nearly $7 for a pint too.

Please go back to the park! It was a great wholesome, fun Saturday morning routine for the kids to get them outside and away from electronics, without being the...
Read moreSweet Jenny's is the best homemade ice cream shop in the area, and their Old Red Mill location is easily the coolest place in Williamsville to get ice cream. However, it is a little expensive and it gets very hot in there, to the point where you're dripping sweat while deciding what ice cream flavor to buy. Helpful staff and the comic book shop upstairs is a cool and geeky place to browse comics that you'll never actually buy. The staff in the comic shop is too involved in your visit however, and breathe down your shoulder the entire time you're trying to browse...
