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.

The worst experience I ever had on the farm, My daughter an U went to Sunshine to pick…read morestrawberries. We always go to Tougas farm but I did not have time to drive there. At the farm store, we told the employee that we wanted to pick 4 quarts of strawberries for $40. On the board, it said 2 quarts $25, 4 quarts $40. But I asked for 2 boxes. The Woman told me that I have to buy only 1 box, can not be split. I paid $40 and walked to the field, about 15 minutes. When we got to the field, the employee informed me that 2 people can not pick strawberries to 1 box that we need to buy additional box to enter the field. They did not have any boxes to purchase there. I had to walk back to the front store, buy another box and walk back to the field. I am sorry, but that almost an hour of my time wasted. Plus aggravation of poor customer service. When I got to the store and asked for a refund, because I did not pick any strawberries, i was pointed to the board, where is said no refund. I was handled in the most rude way, wasting $40 of my hard earned money. Sunshine farm provides very poor customer service and lacking human factor. I will never go there again. I will be driving extra 30 minutes to Tougas farm, where employees are always happy to see you, care about customers and their business. It offers so much more!

Turns out the restaurant could not handle any more guests, and said we needed a reservation but this was not stated on the website hence why we drove 40 minutes without one. But to hear a presumed server say to the host "this needs to be the last one" regarding the table that was being sat ahead of us and overall the environment feeling very unwelcoming we are unlikely to return. Which is bummer considering it seemed like a cute place. This review has very little criticism on us not being able to get a seat and more on the costumer service aspect of our experience.

If you love old trees, good people, and delicious, no-frills picking then this is place for you. It's one of the only orchards I frequent these days; it's beautiful and easy.

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.

But my issue with them and the reason for the low ranking is not food or atmosphere. They charged us a 6.5% " administrative fee" on our bill. When we asked what that was, we were told it went towards the kitchen staff and dishwashers. What??? Do they pay their kitchen staff so little that they have to charge their diners extra? I have years of restaurant experience and I am appalled that this establishment charges their customers this fee. Will never return.
