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.

I bought a dubai chocolate bar there that I felt was going to be really high quality when the craze started for $20. I saw the same exact bar in another store for $10. I've seen similar situations with other products. I feel the markup is excessive here and it's scammy.

No pumpkin wall this year, but they still had their apple cider donuts, caramel apples and photo ops. Don't forget to try their potato blasting (if you hit the ghost sign you get a free caramel apple)! Once you're inside, the store is decked out with beautiful autumnal decor & all their fresh goods. I'll have to come back sometime to try their bakery items because they all looked delish. Everything is very reasonably priced which is amazing considering most items are either homegrown or sourced from other local farms. The main downside is due to going viral there are so many visitors and traffic control is little to none. Come early if you can or just hope you get lucky with parking. Even with two lots, you can easily spend over 40 minutes looking for parking this time of year.

A super cute farm to visit, but be sure to check the hours on their website before you come!…read more On a super hot Saturday, my boyfriend and I saw that the farm was open (according to Yelp and Google) and decided to make the trek to see some alpacas! When we arrived though, we found out that the farm is usually closed during the summer (unless you email the owner in advance) and that their website is the only reliable site to see the hours! Luckily, the owner was around and super nice and gave us a tour anyway! There were goats, a mini horse, a mini donkey, and an alpaca herd worthy of the trek we took! All the animals were really friendly, and the owner was incredibly informative. The highlight was probably an extra cuddly mini donkey that ran to my boyfriend and insisted on being pet! Overall - it was a fun adventure and I highly recommend it! I'm sure it's even better once the weather is cooler!

I'm sure in spring through fall it's better but December you need to bundle up! Wear boots or old shoes for mud. We will try maybe again in spring and hopefully the smoky smell issue will be resolved because that is inappropriate for the public and a turn off.

The animals were also a big hit - horses, bunnies, goats, geese, and mules can be seen up close. The music and food also do not disappoint. They feature bands on the weekends that play into the evening and there are picnic tables and fires to keep you warm. The food truck there also serves pretty solid burgers, hot dogs, and fries. A bit on the pricey side but you do get a ton of crispy fries and even the black bean veggie burger was solid. Not to mention there is a full bar there. I mean there is literally something for the entire family. Can't recommend it enough for a nice evening.

The new owners have done a lovely job with the orchard and have classes there as well as summer concerts. They have a cute gift shop with seasonal fruit, meat and handmade gifts from local artisans.
