I joined a group here last week. What a fun place. You may need a reservation if you are with a…read moregroup, heads up. You can ride a tractor pull around to see what all is here. They've got cows, ducks, goats, geese/ducks, peacocks, chickens, and an emu. There's a water buffalo and camel, too. You can get a cup of food(you buy tokens at the gift shop) and use to tokens to buy the feed. As part of our group, students got a bag with carrots etc to feed the different animals. There's a carousel(old-timey) and a covered area with different rides for small kids. Just a great placeto spend an hour, or a few.

Pond Hill Farms is a non-negotiable stop if you're in the area! The food, drinks, and atmosphere…read moreare absolutely incredible. Ordering can be a little confusing the first time, but it's easy once you know the process. Just head to either the indoor or outdoor bar to order both your food and drinks. They'll give you a buzzer, and when it's ready, you'll pick up your food from the window inside between the indoor and outdoor bars. We always order the pizza, it's so good and has really unique flavor combinations. Don't skip the featured salad, and definitely try the cider. The blueberry cider is my favorite! If you're bringing a dog, they're welcome in the outdoor seating area. There are two large tents with plenty of seating, lots of activities for kids (including farm animals), and a cute little shop inside where we always stock up on their dressings and grab a 4-pack of cider to take home. 10/10--couldn't recommend it more!

Pond Hill Farm never misses--and last night was no exception. From start to finish, everything was…read morethoughtful, elevated, and absolutely delicious. The smashburgers were perfectly executed--juicy, flavorful, and layered with the kind of detail you can taste in every bite. The chicken wings had that ideal balance of crisp and tenderness, and the potato salad? Comforting, creamy, and done right. But the real standout for me was the cannoli pizza--creative, indulgent, and completely unforgettable. Beyond the food, what truly sets Pond Hill Farm apart is the experience. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly charming--exactly what you want for a night out in Northern Michigan. As a fellow local business, I also deeply appreciate how supportive they are of the community. It means something--and it shows in everything they do. If you haven't been, go. And if you have, you already know.

Farmer Jim and Dawn have created such a magical little place! It's obvious the love and care that…read morethey put into their animals and their guests. Appointments necessary, and this is key because the small-group approach makes a big difference. They limit visits to 12 people at a time to maintain the joy and connection with the animals- and there is an abundance of both! Guests are able to feed and pet all the animals on the farm- which include turkeys, chickens, alpacas, goats (so many adorable and very playful baby goats!), sheep, yak, donkeys and horses. We will be back every summer!

Super fun farm adventure. Their business was recently featured on a local news site, 9 & 10 news,…read moreso that's what brought it on our radar. Earlier this month we visited an alpaca farm. It's just a farm visit kinda month. You take this tour in a little buggy or orv. You visit the momma and young yaks, and then you visit the guys on a separate pasture. Fascinating creatures, you do get out of the buggy one time , but, sorry no petting of yaks occurs. However, you can feel their fur in the gift shop after your tour is concluded. Smart business model, 5$ tour lasts about 45 min to an hour. At the gift store you'll find knitted hats, yak socks, tshirts etc. Plus, yak burgers. My mother said they were good, very lean.

Unfortunately, we decided to make reservations for their "Dining in Lavender" special event, and it was a huge disappointment. For $400, we expected a much higher-quality experience. The food was mediocre at best, the service was poor, and overall it didn't come close to justifying the price. If you're planning a visit, I'd recommend stopping by to enjoy the beautiful property and gift shop, but I'd skip the "Dining in Lavender" event and save your money. The event is a great idea but it's very poorly executed. I saw similar reviews about this when booking and should have listened to them!!

We tried the Pork Chops: Here is the review My husband and I ordered pork chops from Bakers Green Acres. I cooked two pork chops up tonight for my husband. As he was enjoying his dinner, with a degree of animation that typically isn't present during a nightly dinner. I inquired, He quoted "this is the best pork chop ever! The fat on it is amazing, I wish it had more on it." He then passed me a bite and he was not kidding. The flavor to me tasted more like beef almost. Like the best steak you have ever tasted. tender, juicy, and flavorful. I have never had a pork chop that had such amazing flavor. We will be ordering more... a lot more!
