Great experience, one of the most beautiful Black Labs we've ever seen and great naturally raised beefalo. Just wish I didn't live 5 hours away.

Weather got a little hariy getting there with the slushy roads, but we made it! It's pretty remote location with no street lights, so if driving in the dark look for the signs to get there and trust your GPS. There's a large parking lot across from the entrance to the little store/shop. The shop is actually the owners old family home I belive. We arrived pretty much at closing time, but we were still welcomed warmly. We got a cheese & maple syrup tasting which was yum and informative, and the staff member that did it was really nice, I forgot her name, but see photo below. One of the cheeses has won a cheese competition, very cool. We also got to meet the owner, but she was busy getting Christmas orders together. I perused all of the cheeses I wanted and settled on 4. We got to try 2 out of the 4 from the cheese sampling. The nice lady that checked me out even gave me some nice to-go samples as well. The smoked cheese was my fav, and the sage. But I enjoyed them all. I was able to easily fly home to TX with them due to the cold weather of the season. After the tasting, we got to peruse the store. They have so much other stuff to buy in additon to cheese and maple, tons of knick-knacks and gifts and merch. We didn't get to explore the farm after since it was pitch black when we left, too bad. Enjoy!

Some years ago I tried the maple syrup from Sugarbush Farms and never looked back. No other syrup…read morecompares and I always go out of my way to visit anytime I'm anywhere in the greater New England area! Sadly this year I didn't get to visit New England - but lucky for me Sugarbush ships nationwide!! So I tried it out and ordered some of their syrup and my fave cheeses. Ordering online via their website was super easy. I ordered my fave dark variety of their maple syrup and 4 cheeses: horseradish cheddar, jalapeño cheddar, sharp cheddar, and Monterey Jack. Their horseradish cheddar is my absolute fave - a wonderful kick of the spicy horseradish blends so well with their rich cheddar. I really love the jalapeño cheddar too - packed full of flavor with just the right amount of kick - not overwhelming but enough to taste it. The other two were great as well - you can definitely tell their cheeses are made fresh on site - flavors are just next level compared to industrial-manufactured cheeses from the grocery store chains. And the maple syrup is also in a league of its own - nothing mass-manufactured from any grocery chain holds a candle to the rich, complex flavors and velvety texture. The syrups also last quite a long time so I'm able to keep my stocks full yearly! Since I was ordering cheese with a long way to travel, and it was still quite warm in parts of the US, their website suggested adding one of their insulated shipping boxes for an extra fee of $8. I didn't want to risk ruining my cheese so I did and all arrived in excellent condition! They pack it in extra insulated styrofoam with ice packs. So it's definitely worth it imo. Next year I'll be in Maine in October so I'll definitely be planning an extra day or two to pop over to Sugarbush on my way back out haha!! See yall next fall!

If you're looking for a luxury hotel and are afraid of the smell of horses, this is not the place for you. If you're looking for a quiet escape with beautiful nature, lots of animals (both farm animals and dogs/cats), a wonderful selection of activities in the area, and kind hospitality, then this is the place for you. The guesthouse was larger than anticipated, truly a private space with wonderful views. This is a working farm where you can learn about the trade, and some woodworking if you're interested. The family was friendly but never overbearing. We were even able to borrow the family four wheel drive car to go to dinner when our car just couldn't make it up the hill. This would be a wonderful place to stay in all seasons!

There was so much going on at the farm between the horses (even a mini horse!), chickens, ducks, and the family's 3 beagles. Our puppy played with the other dogs almost the whole time as they have an expansive fenced in backyard. The Inn is set back from Rt 2, but you can walk to quite a few places: Dunkin Donuts, Wild Oats Market, and Moonlight Diner. When we left for dinner our last night, we were planning on having our pup stay in our room until we got back, but the Inn keeper, Carolyn, generously offered let our puppy play with her beagles until we got back. The whole experience was so fun, we can't wait to go back!

I am so glad to get the experience of meeting lots of these beautiful animals in these farm. Woodland meadow farm is a working farm. The owners breed alpacas for business. They started with only 3 alpacas and now after 11 years of operation, they have 73 total of different mixed breeds. It is a huge farm that can accommodate all the animals daily activities. Alpacas are adorable, charming and friendly. As per understanding, alpacas are raised basically for their luxurious and expensive fibers. It is being sell per pound to turn into hats, scarves, blankets , sweaters etc. If at once you received an item made of alpacas fiber, it is said to be a precious possession that lasts years time. They are scheduled to be sheered once a year. During our visit, the owner let me dip my finger how much deep one alpaca fiber has , about 4 inches deep. Cool! We witnessed the love of the owners to these creatures , an inspiration to reckon with. Being said , who knows, I maybe farming these wonderful creatures in the future or may get one as pet. We learned a lot about alpacas from the owners during this visit. The farm is worth visiting if you have the love for these animals. Come visit the farm and get to experience a unique enchantment.

Another volunteer raved about their cheeses and farm to table dining events. Once I went to an event, I was hooked. I've now been visiting this magical place for the farm to table lunches or dinners each summer for the past 4 years. They also have some dates in the spring and fall. Jody and his wife Luisa, who was raised in Tuscany, run this farm. When you first arrive, you start with an aperitivo (addictive,delicious bread with olive oil and salt) in a beautiful, expansive barn. You'll also be offered a flute of rose or prosecco, water, or sparking water. There may have been another non-alcoholic beverage option. During this time, each duo in your dinner party will see Luisa and select a bottle of wine for dinner. They import the wines from the Tuscany region of Italy. You'll hang around for half an hour (more or less) until a group farm tour led by Jody starts. Since you'll be touring the farm, wear some comfortable shoes. He brings you around to the rams, stalls where the sheep rest, cheese making room, and cheese storage room. After the tour, the group returns to the barn for lunch or dinner. Lunch and dinner include antipasti, primo piatto, and dolce. Dinner includes an additional course of secondo piatto. The menu is already set ahead of time, but don't worry, every bit is absolutely delicious. The antipasti changes, but has consisted of 2-3 cheeses, salumi, few crostinis with toppings, a frittata-like slice, and cippolini onions soaked in balsamic vinegar. I could live off this kind of plate for the rest of my life. The primo piatto is a handmade pasta (ravioli, malloreddus, gnudi, etc). The second piatto is meat (pork medallions, braised chicken thighs, etc). For dolce, I've only had the Panna cotta, made with their ricotta.This is all served at a leisurely place. You'll be seated with your dinner party, and also next to other lucky diners at an extra long table. At the end of dinner, I've never gone home empty handed and end up buying a few of their farm's cheeses (Pecorino Al Tartufo if I'm lucky), salumi, limoncello, and their extra virgin olive oil. It's a perfect spot to bring guests from out of town. All my friends and family who have visited rave about this experience. Jody and Luisa are welcoming and very hard working people. I can't imagine how many hours they must put into working on this farm during weekdays, and then on the weekends hosting these lunches and dinners. The experience is well worth the price.
