530 Main Street, Acton MA 01720
“I had such a great experience here while helping some friends pick up donated furniture. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We found so many great items in excellent condition, and the team even helped load everything into the U-Haul for us. You can really tell the people here care, everyone had a smile on their face and made the whole experience feel easy and positive. So grateful for the kindness and support!”

“The Food Project-- awesome for so many reasons. But, never having purchased their CSA or been to one of their farmers' markets (though I definitely trust other reviewers' 5-star assessments), the basis of my review are their volunteer opportunities and workshops/events for the general public. I met one of my really good friends while volunteering at the Food Projects' urban farm near Dudley Square, where I also got my first experience in urban gardening. The staff are friendly and welcoming to all, whether you're an individual or group (just make sure you arrange ahead of time if you're bringing a big group of people). It's a great place to get your hands dirty and know that you're making a difference in the community by helping a great organization. The cooking workshops they offer at their Dudley Street HQ are also great. Knowledgeable community members teach classes on bread-making, pickling, various cultural cuisines (i.e., Sudanese or Cape Verdean), and all classes are donation-based. Cooking workshops typically run in the late winter and early spring--just in time for you to have some new ideas about how to use the harvest from the coming growing season!-- so keep an eye on TFP's Facebook page or e-mail list for updates on the workshops in mid-winter. There are also gardening workshops offered throughout the spring, and a spring seedling sale.”

“A very nice place, where they make a very delicious Maple Syrup and where they have cultivation techniques to protect it with very new, curious and interesting techniques.”

40 Baker Bridge Rd, Lincoln MA 01773
“Lovelane is such a magical place. Every single staff member radiates with warmth and care and the horses are beautiful and healthy. My children have made so much progress since we started coming here, and beam with delight on their weekly lesson day. In the words of my child, “I love love love Lovelane!” It is truly a special place.”

“The Cottage Children’s Center is one of the best daycares. My daughter attended many years ago, and now my son goes there as well. My two-year-old previously attended another daycare where he wasn’t making any progress. He was often by himself, never smiling or playing. He started at The Cottage in August, and in just a few short months he has shown so much growth—playing with other children, interacting, and smiling. All of this is because of the amazing teachers and staff at The Cottage. My family and I truly appreciate everything they have done and continue to do.”

152 Commonwealth Ave Studio 16, Concord MA 01742
“I’ve been with AfA for years—teaching workshops, helping with marketing, and generally making myself useful. The space is great, but the people are better—a wild mix of artists, crafters, and community builders who somehow make glue guns, glitter markers and existentialism work in the same room. Community art centers like AfA are the heart of a small town. Where else can you paint a mural, make a Valentine, or dive into an immersive drawing experiment—all for less than the price of an appetizer?”

“When your driving up the the long driveway, you feel as if your in an Enchanted forest. It's So Beautiful, peacefully set back off the major highway .Standing still outside of the Vehicle and all you can hear is birds chirping. Outdoor lover's Paradise.”

122 Old Ayer Road, Groton MA 01450
“Groton Hill Music Center is a world class concert and music education facility, located in a rural setting. The acoustics are second to none. The main concert hall only has a thousand seats, so it's an intimate experience. Other rooms have seats for 50 and 300. There are also instructors and 35 studios for those who want to learn or practice their craft. I can't say enough good things about it.”

1 Curling Lane, Wayland MA 01778
“This place is an absolute gem. The stuff we’re very kind and took their time to teach us the amazing sport of curling. As a first timer, I really got to learn the sport and I felt comfortable playing the game. I would highly recommend.”

320 Monument Street, Concord MA 01742
“I showed up as this place was closing. The woman running it took pity and let me look around while she shut down - extremely kind of her. She has worked on bringing this home and the story of this family into the light. It is a wonderful telling of a black family who lived here. She has worked extremely hard to know more about the families and the people who lived here. I could tell her effort in this project as she told me stories about a black woman suing and another who trained to be a teacher. I'm grateful she let me look around.”
