Homestead Farm Dairy — Local services in East Hartford

Hmm… I was hoping to find a cute little farm with dairy products and maybe even ice cream ( in the middle of fall of course hahah) but I was a little bummed to see that their weren’t many “farm-esque” products it kinda felt like a corner store with a farm aesthetic. I was bummed because me and my cousin wanted to see something nice before we had to go to work. We felt a little bamboozled but it was alright nothing bad. The customers and workers were kind and the place was clean. I just was hoping for a maybe a cat? Or a chicken? Eggs? But nothing. It’s okay, I’m glad it’s available for the locals...

I remember going to the dairy 20 years ago when I was a kid. I hadn't been in years and so I went in there with my sister. We bought 3 scoops of ice cream (one for our grandfather also). Not long after I started eating mine I found a gross looking HAIR in it. I went back in and and the woman refused to give me a different flavor or a refund. I could only have the same flavor I just found the hair in. WHY WOULD I WANT THAT? I was so grossed out by it and she was so rude to me. I'm never going there again and neither is my grandfather who has been going there for more...

This place smells very dirty, I never see them clean the place unless they're remodeling, and the people who work there are rude. There is dust absolutely everywhere and the prices are much higher than other convenience stores in the area. I have gotten moldy bread from this store, rancid milk, and expired candy. They also use plastic bags instead of paper bags. The quality of the entire store has gone down since Bob was the owner. I will be shopping elsewhere...
