I love visiting farms. Maple Hill Farms was a true gem. I messaged the owners on Facebook the night…read morebefore to ensure that we could visit, and they responded super promptly! I spent an hour walking around the farm enjoying the views of the pond, the farm houses, and the animals. Before I left I stopped by the maple store that had all things maple (and some other non maple things too). It's a cash only honor system, where you log what you buy in the book. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area!

Our tour guide took us around all the facilities and let us interact with each animal. We went inside every gate and touched animals, I got to hold a chicken, piglet, rabbit, was able to pet cows and sheep. They have a mini farm store too where you can buy milk, cheese, meat, yogurt etc This is a wonderful activity for kids and adults alike. I would absolutely come back!

I am absolutely spoiled now. I am so glad I came to High Lawn Farms to try their ice cream and…read moredairy products. At the same time I am so sorry I tried their ice cream and dairy products. Because now, I realize how lacking all other dairy products are. Seriously. We purchased milk from High Lawn during our stay at a local long-term let with a full kitchen. We brought home milk and ice cream. When that ran out and we returned to our regular 'store bought' milk, I was like 'what am I drinking?' You don't know how good High Lawn Farms milk is, until you don't have it any more. If I lived near here, this is the only place I would get my dairy. Now, the ice cream! So, so, so good! It's not overly sweet. The flavor is just right. Again, not over done. It's 'light'. I don't know how to explain it. I got two scoops and when I saw how much ice cream that was I thought I'd 'never be able to eat all that.' But the ice cream texture is light, not heavy. It's still creamy, but not in the same way as my local farm made ice cream is made. It's light and those two scoops were just the right amount. The store offers more than milk and ice cream by the pint. They also sell a selection of High Lawn farm cheeses and frozen cuts of beef among other things. Besides the store and the ice cream trailer, you can visit the cows and calves in the barn. There are also older calves in the field by the ice cream trailer that you can pet. They come right up to the fence looking for pets. Anyway, you can see I am a fan of High Lawn Farm. Go. Don't think about it. Go. Get the ice cream. Get the milk. Compare it to your 'regular' dairy. You'll understand.

She also serves the Albany area through local deliveries and operates her farm year-round. Her farm produces beef, eggs, chicken, pork and many types of vegetables. All of which are USDA certified organic and are far superior to anything that you would find elsewhere. Pam is extremely pleasant to deal with and has a background as a nutritionist and started her farm to grow the best organic food possible after seeing that people were becoming sick after a lifetime of poor nutrition. She also posts recipes on her website which we found to be very helpful. With all the misinformation out there, it is important to know where your food comes from and support local farmer you can trust.

The food is fresh and simply tastes better than your usual city grocery store offering. The animals are well cared for and when you walk the grounds you can tell the farm is organized and properly run. My son had a blast watching the sheep grazing on the hill, the flock of geese marching around with the lead goose barking orders, the cute farm dog (boxer) and the hen house complete with a rooster crowing and guarding his peeps! The market has tons of different types of meats so bring a cooler and load up! The grounds are extensive so we didn't get to see the other animals. Meat wise you can taste the difference and although it's pricey you get what you pay for! Awesome stop if your in the area.

My boyfriend liked several of their beers so he opted for a flight of four - their Brown Ale, Red Ale, Extra Special Bitter and Ordinary Bitter. I went with a glass of carbonated Sangria from a Niskayuna-based winery, Capoccia Wines. I had no idea Niskayuna even had a winery! He really liked their beers and I loved the Sangria - it was so refreshing and fruity. It's super spacious with a bar area and adjoining room with more tables and corn hole. They had signage for a corn hole league that just ended. They also have an attached store with equipment for home brewing. Highly recommend stopping through! We loved chatting with Roger about the brewery and about his travels too.

The tasting room is in the larger portion of a strip mall on Route 4. The seating at the bar is very cozy, and on your left you have a larger, very well maintained, area with tables and the rest room.

I loved the eclectic setting, and for me you can't go wrong with 60s and 70s music (yeah, I was around for all of it).

I live over in the Hudson valley, Westchester County specifically, a more expensive cost of living environment, and 90% of the liquor I purchased here would have been cheaper at home. The staff were very friendly and nice. But their selection is very limited for a place that calls itself "liquor Depot". As far as I could tell they do not carry ultra premiums at all, such as very top shelf gins or any type of craft spirit. Their wine selection seems decent but nothing special, including the prices. One thing that I can say is that I found a MAG of Tito's vodka for a dollar cheaper a bottle elsewhere in Oneonta -- so shop around people!
