Best fresh eggs in area! Store is 'interesting' but the chicken stuff is great. Frequent stop!

A pale shadow of its former glory. Go back 20 years, and you could get today's eggs and really fresh chicken. Now, the place looks run down and there wasn't a live chicken to be seen. Very sad.

I've been coming here since I was a little kid and it's still fun as an adult. As a kid, I would buy little toys and rubberband guns. As an adult, I buy the chicken pot pies, regular pies and cookies. Delicious and entertaining for kids and adults alike! I love this place. It's a great little stop for a snack. The honey granola cookies are AMAZING. They're so good. I can't buy them too often or else I would get fat...again...

This place is awesome and its only about 10 mins from the Lee, MA exit. I grabbed a variety of things to try as it was my first time there and I only had limited cooler space since I didn't exactly plan on stopping. They have a large selection of eggs, chicken/turkey pot pies, cheeses, whole chickens, chicken nuggets, soup, perogies, bacon, sausage. They are open year round but they have a restaurant and more items in the summer season. If you are in the area make sure to stop and BRING A COOLER to stock up.

I've lived in this area all my life (Westfield) and NEVER heard of or seen this place. I usually just go to Otis for the reservoir, but on our vaca this week we went on an "adventure" and stumbled upon this place. What a treasure trove--not just food, like their fresh eggs, cheese and meat (omg, sirloin burgers... on the campfire), but they had a whole assortment of fun things, including a big toy room with loads of cool kid's stuff. Lots of organic/homemade/local items, everywhere, including what has to be THE best bug repellent cream I've ever come across. We HAD to splurge, of course. I made sure to pick up their birch beer, as that stuff's my lifeblood, lol. For a tourist-specialty stop, the prices weren't that crazy, imho. I'd rather spend my cash on local goodies anyway, especially when the quality is top notch. If you're having a family vaca at Tolland State Forest or just taking a drive, head down--so worth it!

I had a very good experience here...I am not from the New England area, and was leaving Vermont. When googling interesting places in Massachusetts I found this spot, and thought it would be a cool stop to bring some local fresh foods back home. Not a fan of wine, but they seemed to have that covered. They have dried fruits and interesting little healthy snacks, as well as local ice cream (if I wasn't so far from home, I would've considered, and cheeses made by the farm. They also have a jellies and jams and raw honey and maple syrup. I read about the guy who works behind the counter wearing the construction hat; he was there when I came in! Saw one review about the guy being grumpy/unfriendly. I bought about $40 worth of stuff (really appreciated the tin signs they had for sale too- they had some unique ones...) and started talking to the guy and mentioned I didn't eat lunch yet, and he offered me a free cup of Chicken noodle soup in the corner that was cooking in a big old-fashioned pot. If I had somewhere to sit, I would've hung out awhile. They do have a couple hot food options too....I also, had this predicament... Traveling in the winter alone, with a trailer hitched to the back of my truck my boyfriend rented. I thought I could pull around behind the building and my trailer got tangled up, had to unhitch it to get out of the corner and I'm kind of a small girl, was having problems picking it up to hitch it again. I went in and asked the guy for help. He was very helpful and nice.

The Otis Poultry Farm will always hold a place in my heart. When I was a wee little one, my grandparents would take me here for a candy treat, and I loved to look at the chicken coops and the kitschy stuff inside. Thirty some years later it doesn't look as well taken care of, but I still love to stop when I am in the area. The store itself is packed with all kinds of goodies. Baked goods, eggs (of course), free range chickens, toys, you name it. It reminds me of a general store of days gone by. It's really a great place to take children, and even adults will get a kick out of it.

Our family enjoys making a pit stop at this store during our Sunday drives from Connecticut. I love the illustrations and humor of the chicken signs. They have a small cafe inside, but we've never eaten here. They also have a public restroom, which is great when traveling with kids! We usually grab a trail mix type snack and something to drink. But they do have a lot to offer, such as wine, groceries, quirky kitchen utensils, novelty key chains & magnets, Otis souvenir clothing, self-serve coffee, sugar-free candy, baked goods, a toy room and much more. They make & bake their own pies (fruit, chicken and turkey) and breads and also sell homemade fudge. Outside, you can take a novelty shot behind a chicken character board with holes for two people to stick their heads through. Driving by, you'll notice a series of chicken coop houses with words painted stating: "Farm Fresh Egg Eaters Make Better Lovers" and "Farm Fresh Eggs Laid Here". I'm surprised the Otis Poultry Farm website is so lame compared to the store, it does not reflect their personality at all. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit!

The Otis poultry farm store, or as I like to call it, Otis Chickens, because of the big cartoon chicken signs on the road leading to it, is on the route I drive between my family's house in CT and where I live in NY, so I've passed by many times and stopped for a snack. I only wish it was closer to where I live so I could come here more often. It's a full-fledged grocery store with lots of homemade pies, breads, cookies, jars of fruit spreads, honey, jugs of maple syrup, and candy. They have their own soda, and it's the only place I've found sasparilla in a long time. I've never gotten any eggs here, but the sign on the front door says, "There are 25,000 chickens within 100 feet of this door, so please excuse the smell." So I bet they'd be fresh. There's also a huge selection of wine and some other groceries, non-perishable stuff. Even if you don't stop in, go for the giant chicken signs...
