I have the bakery thanks to my
@Featherbelle who bought it for me. But now I’m getting itchy for some new STORE items.
i know that store is going to break my wallet.
I’m interested in new harvestables and recipes. So that is a point to consider.

I like the greenhouse because of the building components. I never use the actual venue. I also really like the swift-grow gardening station (which can be bought separately and is on sale right now). I like a few of the decorative items that come with the venue - the farm fresh flowers, bucket of flowers and the vintage finds, lots of signs. They each add 8 points to the environmental value of a room.
I don't have GG but bought the tractor separately. Although I haven't used it yet I will the next time I play a farm situation.
I think the tractor is good for a farm but a greenhouse is better for a residential lot
or community garden lot/conservatory.
I've also made a small sun room/Florida room attached to a house using the greenhouse windows and the square sunburst skylight that came with Roaring Heights. Couldn't find a picture right now. (If interested I can dig one up.)
The Bohemian Garden comes with 8 new harvestables - fruits and nuts.
Brunch at the Old Mill has corn.
The Humble Harvest Stand comes with the Al Fresco Street Market but can be bought separately and is on sale right now. It has lemon trees and eggplant bush.

The mention of the Bohemian Garden set is a good one too because it has so many new harvestables. Not only are they useful in nectar-making, but they are a perfect complement to your new bakery set with all the pies you can make with the baker’s station.
However, IDK if you have the Brunch at the Old Mill set? If not, that would be my preferred pick, because of the canning station. The tea set is also nice, you can fish in the water wheel, and the set also comes with cucumbers and corn.
The canning station is even better (with more options, recipes and fixes) if you use the Canning Station Overhaul mod from MTS. http://modthesims.info/d/580462/canning-station-overhaul-update-aug-2-2016.html

3. Business As Usual Bistro - It’s Business-Time Industrial Oven.

4. Stone’s Throw Greenhouse
Greenhouse build objects;

Tree
6. Brunch at the Old Mill

Let me know if I’m missing any others.

Nope, I don’t mind at all. Well...after all @igazor you do happen to be right after all. Of course detonations usually happen when one of the Frio boys are on site example being when Jared Frio ends up showing up at said venue, makes an utter jerk out of himself so much so that the Watcher gets tired of him and ends up nailing him with a meteor for being a cranial reversion orifice. The other time is when there are recalcitrant sims that do not do what they’re supposed to do.
Happy happy joy joy. Watcher is good; Watcher is wise.

@Nikkei-Simmer — Just some slight corrections to your list:
1. Apologies if it was my previous post that gave the wrong impression; to clarify, I meant to say Grandpa’s Grove comes with the orange trees. AFAIK, the orange trees come with the venue, not with the tractor itself (if purchased separately).
2. On the Store page, the Bohemian Garden set lists 7 of the 8 harvestables that come with it—the 8th one not listed is the pecan tree.
4. The Greenhouse venue does not come with new harvestables (the flowers are a décor item and the PVZ Sunflower is an interactive object which produces collectible sunlight to use as fertilizer).
6. The Brunch at the Old Mill set includes 3 premium content items: Grandma’s Canning Station, The Old Miller Tea Time Tea Set and the Old Mill Water Wheel.
Good luck with your decision detonation plans!

Here are pictures of using the greenhouse windows and the skylight from Roaring Heights to make a sun room.
It can be used for plants in a planter or potted plants, an artist's easel or a bird perch/tree.
I agree and then get them all this way.

L shaped stairs come with this "venue" as well as the tea set. This is one of the few that might be worth the asking price.

I personally use the greenhouse items more often as it makes gardening much easier especially if you have seasons in. I rarely use the venue. The tractor is fun for large farming families and for the 'hay ride'. I would put the Bistro at the end of the list. I also use the Brunch items with every one of my saves. I seem to love canning! If I had to pick one to do first it would be the greenhouse. All that glass would make for lovely explosive wounds in your sims.
