Also, they used to have a couple more restaurants open on site (burgers and Mexican food etc), along with a nice pond and fountain to sit around and some games and live music, but it’s all closed right now (another Covid casualty I guess) and the pond is completely drained - so it was kinda sad to see.Area closures are for the protection of both our visitors and of the resources. And th farmers market was a little sad - just looked like a standard grocery store and was kinda bare. That small piece of rocky road was almost $5 and that’s another reason for the 4 stars - it was pretty bad unfortunately.all the other stuff was great but I’d say stay away from the rocky road - the chocolate was clearly old - very discolored and the flavor was weird and chalky. I’m giving 4 stars bc the prices are a bit steep for what it is - especially in the snack/candy shop. There’s so much variety of candy and various snacks it’s almost overwhelming lol! Including all of the candies from childhood to give you some nostalgia lol! I got some toffee peanuts (which are great!) and some snack mixes and chili mango for my husband (his fave).I also got some rocky road that looked so awesome (bc I adore anything with marshmallows). Then there’s the candy shop and farmers market. Lots of wall decorations, souvenirs and cute Christmas decorations available.as well as lots of decent looking furniture! There’s also a kind of general food store full of cheeses, breads, wines and other tempting goodies! There’s even a little restaurant in the back of this food shop offering pizza and other hot foods and such, along with outdoor seating. They have a furniture and gift shop full of decor and big furniture items. And it’s a good location right off one of the main highways in the area - very nice easy to find with plenty of parking and access. They have several different shops and food options on the property. Take your time and enjoy what Tom's farm has to offer.Ī great place to stop for gifts and snacks if you’re in the area. If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth stopping by. She was thrilled! This reminded her of her childhood in Iowa. Once done, we walked over to the grocery store where I picked up some tomato preserves for my mom. We wandered through the antique store and wished we had more room to put all of the cool items that we have spotted. Of course, when kids are around you have to make a stop at the candy store. I enjoyed walking through the store to view the wine and the cheese and all of the interesting stuff that cannot be found at other locations. The food was good and they do not skimp on the amount. That actually was a good thing, as it took almost that long for a table and chairs empty so I could sit. My number was 86, and they were just calling number 52. Stopped in at the restaurant and it took about 30 minutes for the food to be cooked and served. The live band and the warm weather are a definite draw for crowds. Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon, it was packed.
