Hillside Farmstand

There are lots of stores that give the impression that they are selling locally grown vegetables but often the produce is coming off a truck that schlepped their produce from hundreds of miles away. This is ABSOLUTELY not the case of the Hillside Farmstand where over the last week of our fabulous vacation in Truro, we have purchased locally grown strawberries as well as other farm produce that is delicious. They also sell great cookies and a wonderful selection of breads. I have been visiting their store everyday and have been grateful for their wonderful selection of fruits and vegetables. You can also buy other grocery items as well. For example, they carry almond milk and other items you might not imagine they’d have in stock.

Corn is now $2 each - and the quality is not even close to what you can get at the farmers market (for $1 each). Tomatoes do not look seasonal, they look like greenhouse ones you see at the supermarket. Not what it used to be sadly.

Convenience is key here. Quality is often hit or miss, as some of the produce/bread has gone bad quickly and every time we get bread or rolls they have no expiration dates and some are in brandless, unlabeled bags. Odd. Good for a quick pickup for small things you need but expensive as others have suggested. Prob slightly better than 3+ so I gave it a 4 but it’s somewhere smack dab in the middle.

Hillside’s strongest point is its tomatoes, which are superior. Also special is its big selection of artisanal bread from Pain d’Avignon. Also worth buying are it’s home-raised chickens. Prices are relatively high. Buy your fruit at Stop n Shop, especially watermelons.

Hillside is doing a great job during COVID-19 - they have gloves and clear signage at entrance, one way traffic going through the store, and they limit capacity, as it is a tight space. Tomatoes, chickens, corn, ice cream, fresh bread, coconut water, mozzarella - all the good stuff - love coming hear after work to get ingredients for dinner on the weekend!

Bought watermelon and corn. While shopping, due to Covid, felt uncomfortable looking over produce. Just grabbed the first one..it was terrible.. strawberries looked rotted, so didn’t bother. Corn was not fresh picked..terrible. Maybe Wednesday isn’t the day to shop there...

Very expensive, doesn't feel very covid safe, especially when they let people come into the actual store, and never has anything I actually need. It is like a Marie Antoinette @ Versailles, "play hamlet" version of a farmstand - - but if you think of Truro as "rural," then it will probably work fine for you for the week or two you are occupying your luxury rental.

I love hillside, they treat their customers so well! The staff is so friendly… their fresh produce is DELICIOUS! Would recommend. Tremendous!

Excellent vegetables and fruits. They do run out of things and everything is expensive. But it's summer at the Cape and this is not the place to shop for bargains.

Lots of different veges. They have meats, ice cream, breads, etc. Farm stand prices-a little pricey.

Great fresh produce, pies from Savory, easy in and out

Always stocked with good local produce and misc essential groceries. They are closed after Columbus day until May.

Excellent produce, especially the tomatoes, though a bit expensive.

Very good produce. One stop shop for putting together a really nice meal.
