    The boiler.
    Morgan D.

    Love this place. We have been to many sugar shacks in our area. Red Bucket is very consistent in the quality of their food. Atmosphere is great. Staff is very attentive. The pancake specials are always good. The last reviewer was slightly put off by disposable dinnerware. Being in the country, I'm sure they are on a well and a private septic system, neither is capable of supporting a commercial dishwashing procedure. I usually explain this to first time visitors we bring.

    Love the Red Bucket!!

Never had a rye waffle before, but it was very flavorful and had great texture. Salad (6.5/10): Salad tasted fresh. Felt like it was missing something in terms of taste, but not bad at all. I liked the addition of the chive flowers. House Soda (8/10): Strawberry buttermilk. Tasted fantastic! Service was great. Bakery was sold out by 1pm on Sunday. Menu is short and simple.

Between the apple cider rye waffle with a luxurious smear of butter topped with flaky salt and real maple syrup close at hand, fresh and flavorful sausage patty, and home fries topped with their green jalapeño hot sauce, I ended my meal satisfied. Good quality ingredients shine, and the waffle and sausage in particular were a testament to that. My partner gave the brewed coffee a thumbs up as well. Parking was at capacity when we arrived around 11am on a Sunday but it wasn't long before a spot opened up. Once inside, we were able to be seated right away. The mood was chill and staff working both capable and laid back. There wasn't any rush and plenty of space to soak up the morning. The artwork in the bathroom and predominantly native plantings along the rear parking strip, which were replete with visiting butterflies were icing on the cake.

    True sugar shack in the sense of it being literally a lean-to attached to a sugar boiling shed…read more Picnic benches covered with vinyl cloths, a big heater blowing constantly because the cracks in the boards let in the drafts. 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.

I'll start off by saying that the staff was very nice. I told them it was our first time there and she sat us down, told us to look over the menu and then order at the counter when we were ready. We ended up sharing the breakfast monster crepe and also the eat your greens salad. I can honestly tell you that the eat your greens salad was one of the best salads I've had. its so simple but so delicious and packed full of flavor. The lettuce leaves were extremely fresh, and the dressing was homemade. The crepe was also good, not the best I've had but it was good. Honestly the winer for me was that salad. We also ordered some hot drinks and I was surprised to find that they have organic coffee, really good. and their honey is legit, not the fake stuff. I know some of the other reviews were complaining about the pricing on things but its obviously better quality as well. You can taste it for sure. I will say that the one thing I didn't like was the fact that the tables/chairs are so close together. We were sandwiched in between two families with children and it was really hard to relax. We had to listen to one family complain about not having gotten their crepe yet even though everyone else had gotten their food. I felt that if I even inched either to my right or left I would hit the person sitting on the other end. They need to configure the seating better. Otherwise, it's a great place, I'd definitely come back and maybe sit at a counter or a booth if I'm lucky.
