First time to this event and so many good things about this festival. You can tell they have been…read moredoing it for many years because it's well run. We arrived on Wednesday and got our place at the main stage. People must get there very early because at 3 pm, we were behind the sound stage. We parked at the Car Corral, and the shuttles were pretty much a waste of time. One day the driver drove past the entrance and had to turn around and then wanted to drop us off at the entrance, which was maybe 50 yards from where we parked. She had no idea where she was going and shouldn't have been driving the bus. Everything is walkable and the time between shows is perfect. There were plenty of food vendors, and probably the cleanest port o John's I have ever encountered at a festival. The shaded tents were awesome!!!! Lots of good music and discovered new talent. Slightly disappointed with the price we paid that there weren't bigger acts for the main stage.

Customer Service: I called to speak to a representative on a situation that needed attention for…read morelocating a person that had a very important item accidently on them after staying at my house the day before gates opened to campers. The item contained all important documents (license, medical cards, bank card and credit cards, my only set of car keys and over $300 plus more. I needed all of these items to do an emergency drive of 2 hours away to deal with my 92 year old mom dealing with a medical issue. I called once to ask for help. I was told "security" would locate the person after giving information on how to find the person. Two hours later, I did not receive a phone call back with any update. I texted, and received no response. I called again, and the same representative developed an attitude. (I know the area well as I live 10 miles away.). I said that I guess I would have to call the local police, and the representative got "snarky", and hung up on me. I was stranded. I was not able to get to my mom that has the medical issue in time. I called the local police department which I am familiar with as my neighbor used to work for them. Within 45 minutes, the "very polite policeman" found my friend, and my friend was able to search for my belongings! Unfortunately, it was too late for me to get to my mom and deal with the medical issue in time as she lives 70 miles away. It took 5 hours to fix this situation. I felt demoralized and pushed aside. This is a concern. What if a worse emergency was occurring and someone had to be found at the festival. There needs to be some mechanism for emergencies to be addressed. The festival itself is excellent. Customer representative in handling an important issue is not. I am appalled!!!

Charming little farm store well off the beaten-track, that is open limited hours (Friday and…read moreSaturday 10-5, plus "by appointment or chance"), that participates in "Maple Weeks" and is open on weekends the last two weekends of March. The sugaring features a small tour of their mid-sized and pretty impressive boiler (call first to make sure it's running, though, if you want to experience its full noisy hot glory) and an explanation of the sugaring process. You can also get a short hayride for a buck through part of their sugarbush (about 20 minutes). There's not a whole lot else to do for the kids, but they do have free samples of sugar candy. The little store itself sells lots of maple products (syrup, sugar, cream, maple nuts, maple coffee), a few other farm items (notably fresh eggs and frozen beef from the farm next door), jams, and some gifty things (very nice hand-crafted mugs, some books, a few other miscellaneous decorative items). It's not huge, as I said there's not a whole lot to do other than the boiler tour and the hayride, but it's definitely worth a detour during sugaring season and a quick stop if you're ambling through the countryside otherwise. Very friendly family-run farm. They do have an on-line store (see URL, which I hope the Yelp elves will add now that I've submitted an update) and I recommend their stuff as tasty, naturally-grown upstate product. Worth supporting. If you like antique stoves, this is probably worth a side trip. They have a big one in mint condition that looks well over a 100 years old. Navigational tip: Google maps can't find the address here for some reason; go to the corner of Grovenor's Corner and Crommie lanes, the entrance to Maple Hill is on the south side 25 yards past the intersection on the west side; note a little hillside cemetery, which you drive past going up the drive to the farm.

Check out their website to see their lineup (or follow them on Facebook); most of the shows run during the summer months. Performances include folk, indie, world music, and other concerts by performers of high quality. The Centre also runs cool classes in writing, visual art, science, and other topics of interest. The setting is beautiful old church with handsome stained glass windows and wooden pews. It's a most worthwhile place with a strong community spirit and warm energy. So glad to have it in the neighborhood!

When people are relaxed, they will stay longer and buy more things. I wasn't dealing with the porta potties- um, just no. I noticed lots of kids here and they had to go to the restroom. I enjoyed an apple cider slushee while picking fresh apples during a sunny fall day. We had to purchase a half-bushel bag. Mother Nature at her best! I tasted several varieties of apples in the orchards: Empire, macoun, mac, golden delicious, red delicious, Fuji and gala. The empires and the golden delicious are the best- tasting out of the different varieties available here. Take a look at my photos-- so serene and worth the drive up here from NYC! In hindsight, I should have taken a wagon and apple picking stick with me, but I was so happy with the slushee and just walking around, I wasn't really thinking about picking the best apples. As for the goodies I bought: Excellent apple pie with a short-bread type crust and tart but sweet apples. Very delicious and fresh! Seneca Granny Smith apple chips-- never tried this variety- tart and crisp. Apple Pastry stick: I say don't bother with this one. It left a coating in my mouth of greasy weird shortening. I bake my own apple pies with real butter and I don't get this kind of coating with my own pies: Not sure what they use here but don't get this. All in all, a great bakery and orchard.

Plenty of meat on them and topped with a nice layer of fat which caramelized nicely; I first seared the short ribs before cooking them in a slow cooker. As stated on its website, Sweet Tree Farm is committed to sustainable farming, does not use growth hormones, nor do they routinely use antibiotics. Their beef is 100% grass-fed and finished. If the quality and flavor of their short ribs are any indication of their other products, they're definitely doing something right!

Yes, they are a tad on the pricey side when compared to the supermarket (about $1/ ounce with tax for the rib eye), but the excellent flavor and clear conscious don't hold a candle to that supermarket stuff. Plus, it's still way cheaper than you'll find at any respectable steakhouse. And who doesn't love supporting a good local business? These folks offer a number of items, including various cuts of steak, beef and pork roasts, ribs, chops, sausage, kebabs, bacon, ground meat and chicken. Don't forget the eggs and maple syrup. Plus, they seem to use as much of the animal as possible, given that they also sell shank and marrow bones, dog bones, heart, tongue, oxtail, liver, and beef and pig fat. I love that. Find the friendly Sweet Tree people selling their goods at the Troy Farmers Market (Saturdays), the Schenectady Farmers Market (Sundays) or pick your order up at the farm by appointment. Awesome stuff here; I can't wait to try more. Rock on, Sweet Tree.
