After reading so many positive reviews, I succumbed to a groupon for the walking tour. If you buy…read morethe groupon, you get a great deal for 2 adults to take the tour, as well as a $10 credit at their farm store. Once you take a look at their store, you know there's no way you could leave here empty-handed. They sell steaks and chops from every farm animal you can think of, as well as fresh eggs and Amish butter rolls and aged raw milk cheese, and even kombucha. There is a clever young boy behind the cash register, and he will persuade you to buy everything in stock. Their items are very reasonably priced for grass-fed/free-range/happy meats and dairy products, especially when you're tired of paying too much at Whole Foods for lesser quality and freshness. If you have a genuine interest in learning how a farm works, then you would enjoy taking a tour here, as it's very informative. The manager, Amy, is a wonderful tour guide. She is very patient and will answer everyone's questions. We learned about how they rotate their farm animals to improve soil quality, and about what and how they feed the animals. I wouldn't recommend bringing kids here unless they are extremely interested in farms, and are very patient. Otherwise, they will be bored to tears and will ruin the fun for the farm dorks, like me. If you think this is a petting zoo, it's not. You will see plenty of farm animals running around and/or freely grazing, but it's understood that they don't want folks chasing those free range chickens around. The whole tour took over 2 hours, which was a little long for me, so I left a bit early to hit up the farm store before the rest of my tour group did. I even ordered one of their last turkeys for Thanksgiving, which I'm beyond stoked about. I'd highly recommend this tour. Be a little patient, and eat a big breakfast before you come. There are no lunch options within walking distance, so unless you plan on snacking on a hunk of cheese, you might get hungry after the drive and the walking tour and the ooohing and aaahing at these beautifully kept grounds.

We've found nothing better since leaving the Charlottesville area, even in food conscious New York. Looking forward to them opening a shipping component to the business. Meanwhile, if you're lucky enough to be in the Charlottesville-Arlington delivery area, do your mouth a favor and check out their website for delivery schedules. You won't regret it!

I love that I've gotten to know him and I feel great about how he treats his animals. We started with just egg delivery, but now often get chicken, pork and grass-fed beef. He even found me one last ham a week before Christmas, and then promptly answered my frantic email on Christmas Eve for cooking instructions! His prices are cheaper than Whole Foods, and I trust his meats' quality and animals' welfare more than pre-packaged meat. I have been recommending Sylvanaqua Farms to anyone who will listen!

There is a small gift shop and a cute cat in sweater that is free to pet, although they do charge $20/hour to pet the bald cat. There are other animals there (goats, horses) and I think it costs more to cuddle/pet those animals. Be warned - this is a small cow pasture, so expect mud I don't know what a fair price is, but these seems decent Kind of a schlep to get there The bathroom is in their house!

Their menu is pretty extensive, offering breakfast items, apps, wings, subs, daily specials, and even kid options. We ordered: +Fried Pickle Chips - battered slicked pickles with a side of Petal Sauce; some of the pickles were a little soggy, as they weren't fully dried off from the pickle juice before being breaded +Fried Breaded Mushrooms - whole button mushrooms that are coated with a butter breading; served with a side of Petal Sauce; these were my favorite - the breading was so yummy, and the mushrooms were super juicy! Loved the Petal Sauce, that seemed to have a hint of horseradish to it, giving it a nice kick +Crab Pretzel - a pretzel stuffed with claw meat, cream cheese, hot sauce, and seafood seasoning, all topped with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese mix; the crab mixture was very creamy and delicious; the pretzel itself was a little too hard and seemed a bit overbaked +Bone-In Wings - you can opt for 8- or 16-pieces, in which we went for the latter; we had them in Buffalo Medium, well-done, and extra wet; these are colossal-sized wings! The wings were crispy and very tender, and the sauce was on point! You can ask for ranch, bleu cheese, or both! Staff were very friendly and welcoming! We sat up at the bar, and we were comfortable. You can tell that this is a local favorite, as there were regular patrons! We were provided some recommendations for next time! The space has a nice relaxing vibe to it, with the blue lighting and a few pool tables. They also seem to host various events. I'd love to return to try out their burgers and their chicken/steak & cheese!
