Buck Brook Alpaca farm is such a charming place to visit. It's been a family tradition for us for…read moremany years now as we always spend Christmas at The Villa Roma. For a small fee, you can enjoy a one on one experience with their friendly alpacas, or take a few out on a guided tour along the wintery trails. Perfect to soak up all the fresh crisp air. The farm is free to visit, the one on ones have to be reserved ahead of time and paid for. The farm is home for many animals, goat, pigs and you'll often find a few cats following you round as you explore. There's a gift shop on site, which you must stop in to see. They have lots of hand made items, from hats, gloves, to socks and so much more, most made with the fur of the alpacas. Also, They do have soaps and lotions that are made from the milk of the alpaca's, which is the most buttery soft lotions and luxurious soaps you'll ever use. The visit here is worth while, it's a unique way to spend some time with the animals and in nature.

Everyone is so friendly... except this one goat. He wasn't very nice and the peacock comes off as…read morevery self absorbed lol. I'm just kidding. I love this place and suggest the self guided tour if it's not busy. Since everyone is so nice, they will come up and explain anything to you anyway and you can go about the farm at your own pace. If you are in the area, definitely stop by and make Some new, fluffy friends. You can pet the animals from the neck down, but none of the animals are really in the mood to be petted so just enjoy them for what they are. Beautiful creatures who want your food! Have fun!

My experience was more like a 3-3.5, but I'm rounding up -- both because weather is not in the…read moreorchard's control, and because as an adult I don't think I'm necessarily the target demographic. Unfortunately, as soon as we pulled into the parking lot it began to POUR rain. We waited it out in the car for a while, like 20 minutes, but it didn't seem to be stopping, so we attempted to leave, but because so many other people were leaving traffic came to a standstill and it took us 10 minutes just to get to the end of the parking row -- which was kind of a blessing because the sun came out more and we decided to stay and chance it. There seems to be only one entrance and like 1-2 exits which kind of seems like a safety concern. Admission is a bit pricey - about $23 per person on the weekends if you don't buy online. I guess it's a good price if you enjoy mostly everything, but for that you'll need time. We grabbed a snack. There are a lot of food places - BBQ, grilled cheese, pizza etc. I actually thought the prices were pretty decent and the food was high quality for the price. We split a gourmet grilled cheese which was melty and tasty, and got a honey lavender cider which was absolutely delightful. We did the wagon ride out to the tulip fields. You can pay to pick your own but we just admired them. There are a lot of colors and different varieties, and cute photo ops all around. There was a scenic train ride that went through the fields. There were also a bunch of carnival rides, which we didn't go on. I read that there was axe throwing but we missed that. There was live music in the food area as well. They have some other fun things like giant bubble blowing stations, lots of snack stops, a retail space with gourmet goodies. Our second big thing was going to the petting barn, psyched about the "baby animal" experience. This consists of baby chicks and ducks. If you want to get up close and hold them you have to wait in a long line - we were waiting like half an hour to hold a duck for like 30 seconds. It was very cute and wholesome but honestly I wouldn't do that again. The chicks were unfortunately too young so we could only pet them, not hold them. It was a little underwhelming and I've seen other farms do baby animal days with much more variety. There were some other animals (that you could get up close to more immediately) like pigs, alpacas, goats, and highland cows -- some of which had cute babies. I don't think anything besides the flowers was open for u-pick, but I believe you have to pay extra for that anyway? This place is huge and very popular but I did get the sense that for the amount of people it draws, there are limited things to do. Granted, it was a holiday and a weekend, so I'm sure that contributed to the crowds. But also a TON of people left during the rain storm and we still were waiting in some pretty long lines so I can't even imagine how it would be if it was sunny. Overall this place is cute and I think everything is top quality, but ultimately I think it caters more towards families who have time and money to kill. It's probably a good deal if you live close and get a seasonal pass and come multiple times a year for all the different festivals- I do like that they have different things going on at all times. I wouldn't turn anyone away if that was their thing and I'd recommend it to a certain type of person -- but this is probably a once and done or once in a blue moon type place for me.

My family and I came here. We thought it was really worth coming here. The price was right and…read moreincluded a lot into the admission ticket which was worth it. There was a petting zoo, red express train, carsol ride, bags for picking apples and much more. I would recommend packing some snacks my husband and I thought the food at this establishment was very expensive it ranged from $10 - $40. Other then that we all enjoyed being at this farm and I highly recommend coming here.

This is truly a hidden gem. I wish I could give this place a 100 stars!…read more My friends and I were staying nearby at an Airbnb and was craving ice cream. And when I see the word creamery, I know it's gotta be good. And boy was it delicious! My friends and I got 3 of the half gallons (coffee, cookies & scream, strawberry) and every single one was delicious. You know it's fresh ice cream when it's soft and smooth and super easy to scoop. Someone tried the chocolate milk and said that was really good, too! I wish I took more pictures of how it looks inside but I was too excited to hurry up and get the ice cream and then head back to our Airbnb to eat them. Sad that this place is super far away or I would be here all the time for their amazing ice cream. Things to know before you go: -First things first, this place is in the middle of nowhere so please save your maps to this place and where you need to go next, just in case you lose signal. We had to just wing it with the directions as we got closer because we lost signal and then had to just figure things out when we had to go back to our Airbnb. -You pay based on what you get. There is no one there, so please be honest about paying for what you get. There is no Venmo or Zelle option. They accept checks & cash that you put into a cashbox. I'm glad that they have video cameras there. -Parking - There's like one spot in front of the little shed with the ice cream. So you will have to find parking on other parts of the property, but please be mindful of not blocking their driveway.

Farmers produce, baked goods also on site with the addition of some outside food vendors which are reasonably priced and good eats. If you're looking for a family fall outing put this on your list.

In the Spring, their garden center simply can't be beat. I purchase flats of vegetables for my garden here, and the plants always do incredibly well. Healthy, good producers, and for a great price.

Fresh milk, vegetables, and eggs are also amazing. However, we LOVE their meats. You can't go wrong with any of them. The petting zoo is great for children and families. It is certainly elaborate and fun. Staff are kind and helpful, always willing to strike up conversation. Prices are reflective of the quality here. We love it. Try it out!

Our 6 year old was especially enamored with the experience. While Tamerlaine is clearly a believer in animal rights, the tour wasn't pushy or judgemental at all in terms of their vegan beliefs. I would highly recommend this tour if you love animals, regardless of your food choices.
