Best of Boston

Whether you crave fresh bell peppers or a fat little Christmas tree strapped to your car with a smile, Wilson Farm satisfies. It’s pastoral—think fall hay mazes and an unspoiled barnyard area with roving animals—but modern enough for the harried shopper: To-go items, including chicken potpie and strawberry shortcake, have salvaged many a dinner. Maybe that’s because Alsatian chef Raymond Ost—you might remember him from Sandrine’s Bistro—heads up the farm store’s kitchen.
