The HH and I have been driving around New England this past week in search of the quintessential New England town and on our journey we happened upon Lull Farm Stand in Hollis, New Hampshire. And it my friends, was lovely.
But then, aren’t all farm stands in the fall pretty fantastic?
The place was bustling with customers and the fruit and vegetable displays were amazing with all their ripe goodness stacked high and ready to take home.
I had never seen such a assortment of heirloom tomatoes available for sale. The varieties were endless and I think the going price was $2.99 a pound. Some of my favorites {Cherokee, Black Krim, Green Zebra} were there along with ones I had never tried before. And the cool part? They were all grown right there on the farm. Can’t beat that for freshness now can you?
Another thing we’ve noticed travelling through the Northeast has been the apple varieties. Macintosh and Cortland apples seem to be extremely popular, both at farm stands, and in the local grocery stores. Here in the Northwest, Fuji, Gala and Red Delicious {gag} are the most popular with Fuji being our favorite.
I haven’t tried the Cortland apple yet, but the Macintosh? Delicious!
The inside of the farm store was HUGE and had everything you could possibly want. Milk, eggs, fruits, veggies, a bakery department, meats and cheeses, you name it. Lull’s had it.
The humidity in New England… Whoa Nelly, it was up there, but I told the HH that clearly, the weather was good for growing vegetables and so a little humidity during the summer months would be an excellent trade off.
Oh, and the apple cider? Freakin’ fantastic. It was like drinking a liquid apple.
So apparently my husband likes mums. He wouldn’t stop talking about them. They aren’t my favorite, but hey, if it gets me to New England, I’ll make sure and always have a few planted in the garden. 😉
Dear New England, I am in LOVE with you, and I can’t wait until we can be together forever.
