“An Ashfield institution. A great source for projects and things for the home. The owners are personable and eager to help, and there are always little, unexpected extras tucked away in the aisles. Even a rack of vintage Hawaiian shirts in the summer.”

“I’ve been into the store twice in the last week to get paint. Susan has been an absolute joy to work with and was enormously helpful, as well as kind to my son who was there with me. Susan was able to match a paint sample I had from an old can (not from this business) and helped me figure out what supplies I needed. She’s my paint lady from now on!”

“Amazing service, and a surprising selection for a hardware store. Plus, when we couldn't find what we needed, the owner, Beth, was able to order it for us! 10/5 stars ?”

“Avery's is a genuine slice of history. If you are as displeased as I am with corporate marketing methods of selling us what we don't really need because it makes some CEO more money, you'll be just as pleased with Avery's style of doing things. The beer cooler is stocked with plenty of single cans of craft beer, in sizes that don't require two or three people to share them. There are local sausage, cheese, eggs, and other products. They even have locally made doughnuts delivered directly from Adams in Greenfield. The deli counter makes great sandwiches both for breakfast and lunch. The place is a gem.”
