“I was pleased to meet Michael from Great Day Garden at Golf Park Coffee today. They were doing a pop-up stand in the coffeeshop, and I wanted to give it a try. I had no idea what I was in for! I got an extremely well-priced everything bagel with cream cheese and ate it faster than I’ve ever eaten a bagel in my life. It was so good, I walked up and got a second! Michael is a terrific guy, and his products are no different! Check them out! You’re in for a treat!”

“Arden and Michael grow great, quality produce. The bread is outstanding, and they use locally ground grains. Recently, so appreciated Arden going back to the farm in torrential rain to bring their frozen elderberries to the new farmstand in Forest. My neighbor and I are looking forward to sharing the syrup she will make! I would highly recommend Great Day Gardens! Buy and support local. It is what sustains our economy.”

“We have enjoyed vegetables and baked goods from Great Day Gardens for years: delicious turnips, radishes, breads and, when I can catch them in season, garlic scapes. Grateful to support local farm families!”

“They have the best cherry tomatoes I have ever eaten. I eat a few for dessert every night, they are that sweet. Ordering online and going for pick up in Boonsboro is so easy!”

“If you ever stop by Great Day Garden's booth at either of the Farmers Markets I'd definitely recommend trying the cinnamon rolls. They are the best in town!”

“Incredible vegetables, grains, flowers, and more! Delicious food from kind people who work hard to provide quality, nutritious food to our community.”

“Beautiful chemical-free produce, delicious wholesome baked goods, joyfully offered by an adorable family and their stellar crew.”

“Great quality produce, friendly people, and joining the CSA is a great deal! Love getting my veggies from them every week!”
