We hosted my daughter's 8th birthday party at Sweet Meadow Farm after reading about how amazing…read moretheir birthday parties were and we were absolutely blown away by our experience. From the ease of the booking process to the day-of execution, the entire process was 10 stars. Hannah and her team went above and beyond (which I now understand is their standard MO.) They effortlessly managed all of our decor, seemlessly and joyfully wrangled 12+ children (and twice as many extremely excited adults.) The experience was educational and extremely interactive (We decorated mini horses! We held/pet so many incredible animals! The kids rode unicorns!) Even the coloring pages had our daughter's name printed on them. There was not one aspect of the day that felt like an after thought. The attention to detail and the care they show is so amazing. I really can't thank Hannah and her crew enough for hosting (far and away) the best birthday party my daughter has ever had. Core memories were made by all of us.

We go to Sunshine Farm frequently and really like it. Their…read moreice cream is great! During busy times, there can be a line to get ice cream, but that is true anywhere. It's worth any wait to us. There are picnic tables outside where people can sit. Their fresh in-season produce inside the store is always excellent -- corn, berries, etc. We love their homemade pies that they make -- apple, blueberry, cherry, peach, raspberry, and strawberry rhubarb. Crust is very good and the filling is not overly sweet. They are expensive but worth it as a treat. We have purchased plants there and no complaints. (They have seasonal pick-your-own fruit, but we have not done that so can't comment.)

All in all a good experience.

This place happened to be exactly in the middle between where my friend and I live, so we decided to meet here for lunch. The street corn flatbread was tasty and cheesy, and my friend's fried chicken sandwich was also good. Service was friendly if a bit slow. After lunch, we went apple picking which was I think $34 for a peck which is pretty standard nowadays. They had macoun, macintosh, cortland, and some other varieties, but I prefer my macs. The apple orchard is very small compared to other places I've been, but served its purpose. Would have been nice to have a couple ladders in the orchard for easier access to apples on top. Would have also been nice if the bathrooms were not portapotties--my friend and I chose to hold it lol. They also have a pen with chickens, ducks, and goats that look fairly happy and well cared for. We came on a weekday so it was not crowded at all, but I would imagine it gets packed on weekends.

I recently visited Belkin Family Lookout Farm, and overall it was a pleasant experience ,…read moreespecially with a group of students. Here's a breakdown: What worked well / strengths The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The grounds and orchards were well maintained and offered enjoyable scenery and walking paths.The cider donuts are outstanding. There are plenty of activities in the orchards, which my students enjoyed. What could improve... The food offerings were not ideal. The quality felt closer to a school lunch standard, but with a price tag higher than expected. As for the cider itself, I'm not a huge fan of it generally, so I can't strongly endorse that part of the menu. Prices for picking or admission can feel steep even for a group rate. Belkin / Lookout Farm is a lovely destination with lots of charm, especially for seasonal visits and orchard-based activities. If you're going primarily for the cider or food, temper expectations. But if your goal is to have students enjoy the orchard, fall vibes, fresh donuts, and outdoor experience, it delivers well.

I haven't been back in a long time and went on a weekday and boy was it different since kids are back in school. It was relatively quiet but still happy they were open and no lines or crowds. You no longer pay by weight. You pay per person at $37/adult and they give you a tiny bag to fill up with apples, pears, peaches and other fruits they have. If you want to purchase another bag it is $15! Parking is complimentary and there is no train, we had to walk! Not sure if that is just because it is a weekday and not a weekend. We did get some Asian pears, peaches, nectarines and apples. At the end we bought Apple cider and donuts at the market.

We watched the sheep get razed and there was another sheep there who was making noises and the young students were copying the nosies that the sheep were making and the staff kept yelling at them. They are young students who weren't being loud they were enjoying the time... the staff should be more patience's with students. We paid to go there to look at animals and a wool class. Over priced.
