New England Fall is in full swing 🍁🍎🎃

Get ready for everything apple, pumpkin, cinnamon, and all the other cozy foods.

Today I stopped at atkins farms and got a cider donut sundae from orchard run ice cream.

Atkins is your one stop shop for seasonal produce, local dairy & deli, and baked goods.

Their loft also offers beer and wine tastings monthly on Saturdays. Their next tasting is October 18th 1-3 pm

If you’re looking for the perfect small town farm stand to visit this fall with all the pumpkins, gourds, and mums Atkins Farms is the place to stop.
