365 things to do in Worcester county - Zinnias Hubbardston Bakery

Jane Becker CRS,ASP,ABR,CBR,CDPE,LMC,E-PRO,GRI: Real Estate Agent in Worcester, MA

365 things to do in Worcester county - Zinnias Hubbardston Bakery, who doesn't love a good pastry in the morning?  Ok, people, I'm not looking for all Atkins fans to start commenting on how unhealthy muffins and all carbohydrates are.  But haven't we all had the urge to splurge on a moist, nutty pastry once in a while?

Well, Zinnias Bakery in Hubbardston is one of these places where your mouth starts to water as you enter the quaint little shop in the middle of town.  Owned by a local woman and serviced by her family member, this little shop is the home to a yummy assortment of baked goods.  I sampled a Bourbon pecan square and finished off with a Connolly for desert :)

Other than pastry, Zinnias Bakery in Hubbardston serves coffee and sells freshly made bread.  There is a small table with chairs for people who want to grab a quick bite.  The business has been open since Memorial Day of this year (2010) so it very new to the Hubbardston public.  I encourage you to stop by sample a sugary concoction and support this entrepreneurial endeavor.

The shop is only open on weekends, 7am - 4 pm and my advise is get there early as they sell out quickly.  Supporting a new business in town and sampling sweets is my vote for one of 365 things to do in Worcester County- Zinnias Hubbardston Bakery.

365 things to do in Worcester County - Rietta Ranch Hubbardston flea market

Jane Becker CRS,ASP,ABR,CBR,CDPE,LMC,E-PRO,GRI: Real Estate Agent in Worcester, MA

365 things to do in Worcester County - Rietta Ranch Hubbardston flea market, yes ladies and gentleman, I love flea markets. Where else can you feel like a rich person, buying all the "wants" and not necessarily the "need" with out guilt? At a flea market of course. My favorite pick is the Hubbardston flea market. Here you can pretty much find anything, from a refrigerator to World War II memorabilia. I have seen some really cool things and some thing I just wondered why in the world did you not throw it away?

Being a real estate agent, I like to joke that I go to Rietta Ranch flea market to hone my negotiating skills. Ok, so on the surface it might seem funny and even rediculous but if you think about it, where else can you study so many different people and their approach to negotiations. The experience is invaluable and if you ask real nice, I might even blog about different negotiating styles I've discovered at the flee market.

Rietta Ranch is located @ 183 Gardner Rd., in Hubbardston. It has approximately 30+ rows of tables. I would say that about 40% are dealers (people who are there every week, selling either new products or stuff cleaned out from someone's house). The rest are folks just like you and me who want to get rid of their unwanted belongings to make room for new stuff. Those folks are my favorite. You can learn a lot by the stuff they have and I tell you, you've never seen this segment of population anywhere else.

I went to talk to one gentleman in particular. His name is J.R. Greene and he has been a dealer at Rietta Ranch flea market in Hubbardston for over 29 years. He sells Quabbin memorabilia coins and other currency and his published books. That's right folks one of 365 things to do in Worcester County is to go to Flea market and if you're lucky like me, talk to an author of 15 books. How cool is that?!
