The family that has run this shack is in the third or fourth generation of ownership, my family and I have been going here for over 30 years and have seen it go from a thriving dairy farm with fields and horse-drawn hay rides, with taps and buckets in the individual trees, to a much reduced farm selling off plots for McMansions, struggling even just to keep the sugaring tradition alive. The kitchen is bare bones, just an electric griddle and a small sink area, and the food is not gourmand. But it is fulfilling and delicious and cooked with heart. Like the other reviewer said, this is not a Disneyfied sugar shack, this is the real deal. Throw your support behind authentic New England dairy farmers, but be prepared for a real down to earth farm run by real New Englanders. Bring your rubber boots.

Windy Hill Farm is the most authentic sugar shack of Western Mass. It is not for those looking for…read morea disney-fied sugar shack breakfast experience -- it's in a geuninely old wood shack in the hilltown, and it's one of the oldest sugar shacks in Mass. It's small but seats probably 20. The Mollison's have been running this shack since the 60's, making their own maple syrup and serving breakfast. It is a sweet, nice experience to go there and see the people who live in the hilltowns who actually go to these less spiffed up places. It is worth your time to go here. The food is not fancy, but they put their heart and soul into it and it is very satisfying. The maple syrup is great, of course. The pancakes, bacon and everything else is made fresh to order. You can see the kitchen in the dining area and my neighbor loves their maple candies. They're home-like pancakes and are typical of the sugar shacks in western mass. (The ones who really work on food and use whole ingredients are Davenport and Strawbale, while Gould's pretty tasty food). You won't be disappointed for visiting the hard working people of sugar season in Mass. It is beautiful.

We were quickly seated (in a booth that rocked a bit) and I looked around. Either they had just had a mad rush for breakfast or they hadn't cleaned up in a while as the floor was pretty messy. But, our waitress brought over menus and we reviewed them. I ordered the Monte Cristo sandwich and our son had French toast. Both came quickly but there was something different about them. The bread was nice but it wasn't very custardy, as if the egg mixture had been thinned a lot with milk or the bread barely sat in it. It was more like toast with a yellow coating on the outside than French toast. The ham was cut really thick and yummy though. Maple syrup came in a cup and I think it was the real stuff. It was a decent breakfast. Prices were reasonable for the area.

On top of that, I asked twice for my plain black iced coffee, and it didn't show up until after I finished eating, which kind of defeated the purpose of ordering it. It genuinely felt like the staff was more focused on chatting with each other than taking care of customers. The vibe from the employees was also not great. When I mentioned I was vegetarian, I got a reaction that felt really judgmental and dismissive, which made me uncomfortable. When I asked for the Wi-Fi, I got hit with a snarky, "Do you not see the sign?" while they pointed at something completely hidden. The whole thing came off as really passive-aggressive. Overall, the service felt rude and unwelcoming, the food was cold, and the drink situation was just annoying. I left feeling like I had spent money just to be treated poorly. I've actually given this place a few chances, because I do like the aesthetics, but the food and service are just not good. The food is bland, and I don't feel like paying $20 for something that tastes like cardboard. ALSO I ordered a kale salad and the kale wasn't even massaged. It was just straight up kale dressing and a few pumpkin seeds. This was $17 by the way.

Most recently my husband and I split a turkey club crepe, French onion crepe and seasonal strawberry rhubarb crepe. All brilliant. 2 years ago when we came through we had the French toast breakfast crepe (which included eggs and bacon inside it) which I still think about because it was delicious, but so confusing that those flavors were so good together. The little salad given with the lunch crepes is appreciated too. This spot is usually pretty busy. You order at the counter, take a number and sit. They have a fridge of tap water carafes you can grab for your table and they will bring the kitchen items out to you. Sometimes there's an in shop singer. It's a nice space with flowers, art and local interest items as decor. The only uncomfortable moment is it bottlenecks a lot by the order counter and can be crowded there.
