McMartins Farm
We know that berry season doesn’t last all year, but if you're lucky enough to visit from June to October, you can pick your very own strawberries from the fields at McMartins Farm.
If the fresh berries aren’t enough, their shop is stocked full of tempting treats – including homemade strawberry jam, their famous strawberry ice cream, and chocolate-covered strawberries.
Montville Coffee
If your bond with coffee is as strong as ours, you’ll want to make your way out to Montville Coffee. Not only are these guys roasting their Fairtrade Organic coffee beans, but you can sign up for some one-on-one Espresso & Milk Training... or even get some friends together to design your own dream coffee blend with guidance from the experts.
