What a fun and well-worth-visiting gem about 25 minutes from the north part of Deep Creek Lake!…read more I scheduled a noon tour for this past Saturday over the phone a few days earlier, and at arrival we paid $8/person after signing a waiver. You get to see the female alpacas first (about a herd of 8 of varying ages), then the males. Each paid guest receives a cup of food to feed the alpacas (save some for the males!). Bring a napkin/hand sanitizer because the alpacas like to lick up every last morsel from the palm of your hand, and some may spit at you! There's also fun games in the field, including a large giant slide for both adults and kids, a flat bouncy area, a fenced area for bouncing on some oversized balls, a tug-of-war, and other activities.

The cows, donkeys, pigs, and cats all made great neighbors for the night. Our hosts Amy and Reagan were very hospitable and engaging and we learned about their life on the farm and more. They have a lot going on here and more cool stuff in the works. Reagan, a senior at Penn State, started a business, "Hug a Highland" which allows guests to brush, love, feed their Scottish Highlands cows and miniature donkeys, which are all so adorable.

When it was time to exit the hayride, I lost a gemstone ring as I was brushing off hay. The staff pitched in with flashlights and helped search.

The hardest part was actually finding your way out, and we did this during the day, I have a hunch that the real fun is at night. They have flashlights for rent, and on top of finding the stamps, I think it gets pretty spooky in there. The kids were loving the haunted hayrides during the daylight though, so they seemed to have found a good balance between frightening and fun. They had little fair games, pumpkins for carving and your typical concessions-the corn sling shot was the best...and we were lucky enough to be there for a zombie flash mob done by what must have been an all ages dance class, very cute. Not a lot for the adults to do/look at while the kids are running around except sit by the fire pit and sip cider, but there are worse things!

They had live music, farm activities, and a lot of stuff for kids to see. There is a big slide area which my son loved. There is also a second slide behind the building where there is outdoor seating. It was a nice area that allowed parents to eat while the kids continued to play. We all split a bunch of the food options. We had the whole chicken, ribs, cabbage and noodles, Mac and cheese, and potato salad. Everything was delicious. You can tell it is all homemade. The ribs were my favorite. The meat was so tender, it fell off the bone. The bbq sauce was also delicious. The cabbage and noodles were also really good. Before leaving we got some of their ice cream. I had the chocolate peanut butter and it was amazing. It had so many peanut butter pieces and the chocolate flavor was perfect. We also took a gallon of their fresh chocolate milk to go, which did not last long at our house. Highly recommend stopping here, especially for those with kids.

RFEC sells products through their website, farmers' markets, and Market Wagon. Products include chicken eggs, chicken, ground beef, pulled pork, lots of soups, entrees such as kielbasa and haluski, canned goods such as pickles and beets, pantry items such as sauces and seasonings, etcetera. I have purchased a few dozen of their products. My favorite products are the pulled pork, the beef brisket chili, and the Amish chicken that is free-range and hormone- and antibiotic-free. I think that the prices are average. According to RFEC's website, they also offer services such as a commercial-grade kitchen and catering.
