That aside, I would come back here in a heartbeat. Beautiful grounds, clean, kind and welcoming staff, delicious food, and dog friendly! If you're looking for a cozy escape from the city, this is the place. We stayed in the Lakeside cottage, which I highly recommend. Room was perfection - the wood fireplace was exactly what I wanted. Food was delicious. Breakfast buffet every morning was the best buffet I've ever had. My only con is that I feel like some of the things should've been included in the price versus having an extra fee. For example, there's a movie night option but it costs $45 per person... (though it comes with popcorn + candy). I feel like the movie viewing should be free. There's also an option for their "famous" breakfast buns that cost $7 per bun. Not an unreasonable cost, but since you're already paying a daily fee for food it seems like something like this should be included.

After cruising through Port Jervis we were definitely not expecting such an elegant and bougie coffee/gift shop inside. It's beautiful and wonderfully decorated. She got a coffee and I got a chai, both good, and we sat for a bit at one of the tables in the back. We were lucky to get a table as they only have a few of them in the back. Not many seating options as the majority of the store is given to fancy knickknacks. Much of it is overpriced, such as a $14 tiny bottle of hot sauce.

The Farm, started a dozen years ago by Steve and Candice MacLean, sponsors all kinds of events…read moreinvolving farm-to-table cuisine, but I came for a wedding. I confess that I was uptight about driving around up here at night but finally figured out that if I stayed on Rt. 23 North to where it crosses with Glendale Rd. (listed as County Rd. 565), I'd be ok. Straight up, make a right, and follow that twisting road to the Farm. Going back later, take 565 West to Rt. 23 and then down to Rt. 287. Pretty straightforward. I came early, thinking parking might be a problem, but it wasn't. At that point, the wedding party and family members were taking pictures in the back, so I loitered around the side. I'm more socially adept than I used to be, but being social does require a lot of energy from me, especially when I'm around a large group of people that I don't know or haven't seen in several years, and I was somewhat depleted at that point, suffering the aftereffects of a bad migraine, an adverse reaction to the migraine medication, and lack of sleep. But this was my oldest friend's son getting married, and I was determined to soldier on. The "cocktail bar" was opened, and, in the past, that would have been a problem for me. Temptation beckoned. Socially uncomfortable? Have a few drinks, and if you're not quite transformed into the life of the party, at least you'll loosen up. Thankfully, I resisted that Dionysian siren call. The thought of driving home on those twisting, darkened roads was daunting enough sober. Drunk? Suicidal. Also, the memory of trying to "loosen up" and succeeding was a rare one. Much more common were memories of becoming an insufferable a**hole. So, I stuck with water. And Coke. The wedding was held outside, with the idyllic backdrop of the surrounding hills and mountains, and cows feeding peacefully in the pasture beyond, serving to set the appropriate mood. The minister (I believe from the Universal Life Church?) asked everyone to shut off their cellphones and such so that we could all be fully engaged in the service. A few minutes later, a cow in the field moo-ed the longest, loudest moo I've ever heard from a cow (admittedly, I haven't heard too many, being a child of suburbia), and I quipped to my neighbor sotto voce, "Someone forgot to tell Bessie to quiet down." Ha ha. The service was lovely. Thankfully, it was a beautiful day, moving towards a glorious dusk and sunset, as my friend and his ex-wife (who was and still is a wonderful lady) escorted their son to the altar. Then the bride-to-be was escorted to the altar by her parents. Afterwards, we moved inside the converted, modernistic barn. I was seated at Table 13, and thought, "Is that an omen?" Turns out, it wasn't. I was seated with a friendly group. I only knew 1 person at the table, but most of us had a Wayne background (as in Wayne NJ). People were dancing towards the front, and the music was loud, so conversation was episodic and minimal, but we did agree, old-timers that we were, that the music we grew up on was far superior to what they were listening to nowadays. One gentleman at the table mentioned Billy Joel as being in that superior category, and I diplomatically refrained from commenting; things I've learned never to discuss at large gatherings with people I don't know well-- (a) politics (b) religion, and (c) my antipathy to the music of Billy Joel. The food was very good, served buffet style. Fresh potatoes, vegetables, chicken, a delicious squash soup. And the appetizers that were served during cocktail hour-- a puff pastry I couldn't identify but was tasty; a substantive cheese ball; pork sliders that I could have made a meal of. There were pleasant moments for me. My friend's older sister, whom I've known since I was 7, came to me and re-introduced me to various members of her immediate family, telling me I should take a seat at their table. I would have, but I didn't want my "Table 13" comrades to think I'd spurned their company. But it was a nice, warm moment. And as I got ready to leave, my friend hugged me and said, "This guy is my brother." For someone who always felt like an outsider standing beyond the circle, it was nice to be reminded that this was 1 circle that I was a part of. The drive to Rt. 23 was a bit hairy, with my cataract-afflicted eyes, but thankfully that affliction wasn't compounded by alcohol. I made it home in 1 piece. Any criticisms? The bathrooms leave something to be desired. Often, there was a line outside. The doors seemed flimsy, with outside light filtering in through the cracks. If you're only micturating, as I was, not a big deal. And the price for the wedding is not cheap. Still, this is a wonderful, gloriously rustic venue to have a wedding at, or some other event. Beautiful memories are created in this setting that will last a lifetime. Peace, love and prosperity to the happy couple, and to all couples! May you enjoy a long, healthful and happy life together!

I was part of a bridal party that recently had a wedding at this venue. The venue is wonderful and…read morescenic, the food is decent but the service is absolutely terrible. Weddings are stressful, this venue went out of its way to add to that stress. The wedding coordinator Christie was absent for the entire preparation of the ceremony with the exception of stopping in to make sure the bride had alcoholic beverages (the least of anyone's concerns). The bridal party was left to figure it out for them selves. The groomsmen had absolutely no guidance whatsoever. Christie emerged from the abyss at the last second to make it look like she was doing something only to disappear again shortly afterwards. We were told it was the first wedding she coordinated which makes sense as she appeared to be a hostess who was promoted at last second to get Steve out of a jam. Christie fully disappeared shortly after everyone came in from the reception never to be seen again. Part of the package included a room for the groom and groomsmen to get ready in. The venue removed this accommodation (without removing cost). We were forced to find an Air BNB to get ready in prior to arriving to the venue. Guests were not properly directed and were left to wander into the ceremony aimlessly. Vendors were denied water in violation of the Geneva Convention. The venue repeatedly told the DJ to turn down the music which was well within noise ordinance, lying about people who were asking for it to be turned down. The husband and bride were never asked nor informed about this issue. The DJ ended up coordinating a fair amount of the events himself and was the only reason this wedding didn't turn into a riot. Steve was no where to be found the entire time (most likely counting out the $43,000 he was paid for this event.) We did catch his scowling at us as we packed everything up through the window as if we had done something wrong. All of this would have been forgivable had the cows that were promised been present for the photos and ceremony. P.S. if someone in your bridal is pregnant and asks for crackers while getting ready make sure you pay extra for that otherwise they'll give you an attitude about it when they say no.

I recommend sitting inside to eat and then you can actually bring your own chairs and sit outside as there is not enough seating. They also have an entire disc golf course you can drink and play. We hung out for awhile waiting for our group before deciding to get some dinner. I will say we were able to get a table within 5-10 minutes. However once we ordered getting our food took forever and it was constantly being sent back for being incorrect. No fault to our server I think the kitchen was just consistently messing up. We started with an order of wings, which were tender, well flavored, and seasoned very well. The beer cheese burger I ordered was sent back because it came out well done and I like rare burgers. The fries were also extremely soggy and flavorless. The new burger that came out was cooked medium well but I was starving so I ate it anyway because I didn't want to wait another 30+ minutes to eat. My boyfriend ordered the bbq brisket sandwich and was disappointed as it was just a small portion of meat on a bun there was no cheese or onions on the sandwich or a pickle. The remaining part of our group ordered two additional wings and each time they came out it was incorrect. That took easily another 40 minutes to get the two correct wing orders out. As well one of our members has a serious celiac condition and cannot have any gluten. Thankfully her meal was the only that came out correctly the first time. Our server Bruce O was very helpful and easily just as frustrated as our meals were consistently coming out wrong and delayed. I do have to say for the amount of issues we experienced I was shocked nothing was comped or that a manger did not come over once and apologize for what had occurred.

Now that the kids are older, I heard that they have events for adults at night during fall weekends. I went Saturday night and really enjoyed myself. My wife did also, we made this event our date night and will most likely be back either on a date or with friends. All of the employees were extremely nice and the farm was lit up and decorated beautifully. The choices of food and drinks (alcohol and nonalcoholic) were great. Each food and beverage option was clearly thought out by the owners to make their guests get into the Autumn and Halloween season. There is a gift shop that is filled with country items and different little knickknacks and tasty bites. You enter through the store, so I would recommend buying your stuff before your night begins so they do not run out of stock. There were fires pits and a band that played all night. The band was perfect! They were not loud and just played the right type of music for the atmosphere. I have been to a lot of outside venues like this one and the bands are either too loud or play music that is "just not right". The band Pierson's had was very low key but were excellent musicians and the lead singer had a great voice and their choice of songs were perfect for the atmosphere. The prices for drinks, food and gift shop items are in line with prices at other events of this type in the area. Thank you Pierson's staff and owners for providing such a great event. Have more please!!
