You can wander around and find fun games, photo ops, and great food. The farm animals of course were adorable. I thought the entry ticket and flower ticket were very affordable for the abundance of beautiful zinneas we picked, access to fun yard games, and super kind staff. Highly recommend holding a baby goat if you can!! We also enjoyed corn hole, the "corn pit", kids playsets, and the jump pads. This is a great place to be summer or fall and there is something fun for everyone!! Worth the short drive from Madison for sure

It comes with a caramal apple and a cider donut on top of slushie. Hot cider and pumpkin cake were good. There was pumpkin picking in the middle of hay ride. I picked a small pumpkin. Price was reasonable. People were picking huge pumpkins and in larger numbers.

They also have a really cool playground area for the kids! The staff here are really helpful and friendly. They have great apple cider and apple cider donuts and other treats!

I appreciate the colorful corn (though we can maybe start referring to it as flint corn these days...), and and the warty pumpkins.

Very popular place, a couple days after Thanksgiving they had already sold out of trees over 10 feet tall.

The owners (2 Gals) were super friendly and interactive with us on any questions we asked. We loved hearing their story and how close the community around them is. On this street alone, you can hit a pumpkin patch and an apple picking farm all 5 minute drive from one another. They currently had a 'Yarn Hop' going on which we thought was so fun. With that, they really put standards in place for COVID safety precautions. At the front entrance, there was someone waiting to understand how many people were in your car (and if there were any children) so that they could contain crowds. Masks were worn and there is specific areas for parking marked. When we arrived, we were given a couple of carrot bags to feed the alpacas. They were all roaming, minding their own business eating the grass, but once you shake your plastic baggy of carrot goodness, they'll start walking to you instantly. They eat with their bottom teeth and are just the cutest things. I'm also extremely jealous of their eyelashes, extensions can't get you that amount of volume! Right next door, they have a another barn with their shop of goods, including honey/bee products. My friend got the alpaca gloves, another got the body butter, and I snagged a GalPaca shirt. There's lot to choose from and they're all labeled nicely. The cutest thing is, if you purchase yarn, there are the names of the specific alpaca it came from. So cute! Even though it's getting a little chillier, I would make my way out here to explore! A short 30-40 minutes from Madison and lots of other farms to see. You can also then go to more of the city area of Mt. Horeb afterwards.

Right away as we pulled in, we were given a baggie of carrots and the alpacas perked right up and came straight to us at the gate. Seeing and feeding the alpacas was so much fun! GalPaca Farm Alpacas was very conscious of the pandemic and made sure to ask about the number of people we had in the car and to limit the amount of visitors to make the experience fun and safe for all. Definitely check out the store inside, they have a full variety of items like alpaca wool gloves, socks, and dryer balls. I picked up some wood cutting board balm and some solid lotion bars made in-home and I love using both on a daily basis. Hope to get back out there when the weather is warm again!

We all got grilled cheese variations with apples, salad and soup as sides. The chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese was overall the best. Both of the salads had rotten leaves, so best to avoid that unless you're ok picking through for good leaves. Service 5/5: the food came quickly and the staff was very friendly. Ambiance 1/5: we were very disappointed overall since they hype themselves up as an experience that includes cows. There were no cows in sight. I know during the summertime they will have baby cows, but overall to me there should be more transparency around not actually seeing cows when you visit the creamery. Other than that there is a small parking lot that can get very busy at times, but plenty of places to sit. We did love the kids playground outside but all of the bikes were broken/didn't work and the bags put away for corn hole. Overall we were really disappointed at this trip. No cows and lunch was just ok. If you are looking for a spot just for ice cream, they have amazing options and plenty of room for the kids to play, just don't tell your kids there are cows because you likely won't see any.

They have acres of produce that they've been growing with an expertise that's impressive. Our group helped with weeding since it was too early in the year to do much else. It had rained the day before but most of the fields we worked in were dry. The last one was not. Definitely pack a spare pair of shoes for the drive home. They do offer bottled water if you don't bring your own and gloves/tools. The staff is super friendly and thanks the group profusely for our hard work.

It's about 75 acres of land that consists of planted plots, fruit bearing trees, fishery, somewhere there are goats and even a park area. They need people, volunteers, to help with the harvesting or gardening, etc. A nice sized group of people can really accomplish a lot for them and for those who need this food. I personally feel that no one should be hungry in this rich country of ours. And I love the fact they grow it - as you know many people on a limited income are cost conscious and the cheaper food is the stuff that comes in a tin can, box, or cellophane and is highly processed! From the ground?! Now this is how you feed the hungry. Our shift was about 3 hours and it's hard work. That may not seem long but the effort you put in - wow I just can't imagine the people who did this for a living all day for most of their lives. We are so dang lucky, y'all. Anyways, please check it out if looking for someplace to volunteer and if you are not averse to some outside work. It feels great having done it! Things to consider: - bringing an extra change of socks/shoes - towel if rainy/wet - baseball capping it - layers, layers, layers! You can always take off but it sucks if you can't add on - sunblock If looking for a spot to eat and/or get a drink after volunteering, The Hideaway is just south on 76th street, is casual and has great food and great staff!
