Midway Farms

Stopped by a while back because they always had a live cow tied up out front mowing the grass for them. Plus, being a brewer, they had hops growing on their outhouse…
Though the selection is somewhat limited, it is in tune with the seasons and the geography. It is fresh and mostly organic from what I could tell. The staff was super friendly and had lots of time to help.

Cute, but pricey.
Midway farms, housed in what appears to be an old barn, is the prototypical farm stand, selling local produce, jams, meat, butter, and eggs, as well as an assortment of granola-​ish beauty products and some knick knacks. Come to think of it, fresh produce seems to comprise just a small portion of their inventory (at least when we visited in mid-​July.)
The produce, what there was of it, appeared fresh — though the prices were significantly higher than you’d find in Safeway or area farmer’s markets. The woman staffing the stand was friendly and answered all our questions.
I was particularly delighted to see a self-​serve fridge outside the old barn, with wares for sale and an honor system jar to collect patrons’ payments.
We enjoyed our stop at midway farms, but, given the high prices, our very small desire for designer organic jellies, and our nonexistent desire for additional knick knacks, we purchased only a small amount of chard. We were happy with the chard, but we probably won’t go out of our way to visit again.
