Verrill Farm - Concord MA

We were looking for the best strawberry-picking farm near Boston, which we'd never been to, and this place was just perfect. Today was the second day of strawberry picking for this season and we absolutely got some delicious strawberries. And yes, their strawberries are by far the best ones—very juicy, incredibly fragrant, and sweet, far superior to any store-bought strawberries. The price was $12 per person, which I think was very reasonable. They still have plenty of strawberries left to pick, and I wish I had picked more. Parking was easy as well, and we also loved their vegetarian wrap from the cafe. We will definitely go back for more picking. One note for improvement: there were no designated pathways to get to the strawberry-picking area, so it was a bit confusing, and I didn't notice any signs either. The season probably just started, so they are still figuring things out. Highly recommend. 10/10

Beautiful experience, it is an historic farm. Everything from produce, fresh pasta, plants and very cute garden decor. Baked goods are worth a try.

Everything they do is good. Definitely going back to the Asparagus lunch next year. And the Corn and Tomato Festival is a summer highlight. Always bring a cooler to get some prepared food to bring home to NJ.

We popped in on our way to Mahoney's Garden Center. Looked really big on the outside. They had a deli so hubby and I split a grilled cheese. It was AMAZING. Best grilled cheese on the planet. Hubby and I have a date in 1 month to go back for another grilled cheese because it was so good. They also had some gorgeous desserts, but we decided not to get any as we already had dinner reservations, but definitely next time. Everyone there was super friendly. Bathrooms were clean. Food prices were comparable to a regular grocery store but definitely not as big as selection. Definitely worth a visit.

I was really looking forward to visiting this farm and supporting a local business, but unfortunately my experience trying to get basic information was disappointing. I called ahead because we are driving a significant distance and just needed a clearer idea of when strawberry picking would likely be available. The first staff member I spoke with was unable to provide details and directed me to social media, which I totally understood but do not have. I then politely asked if I could speak with someone more familiar with the schedule, just to see if there was any general timeframe available. When the manager came on the line, I felt the interaction was quite abrupt. I tried to explain our situation, but I was told again to check social media before I could fully ask my question. I politely tried to say 'oh I'm still talking' just so I could explain I don't have social media and she totally ignored me and kept going stating the first person I spoke with had the information I needed (?) I just wanted to know if they thought strawberries would be available June 1st. I completely understand that farm schedules can be weather-dependent and change quickly. Clearer communication and a bit more patience would have been very helpful, especially for customers traveling from farther away. I was simply trying to plan a visit and support the farm. Hopefully this feedback helps improve customer communication going forward.
