adams family farm

We went here for a evening sleigh ride. We arrived a few minutes early and made our way into the store. We were pleasantly surprised the greeting we got a baby lamb!! We got to hold it and everything! My boys were thrilled to say the least. They harvest their own maple syrup and there is fresh meat that you can purchase. There were several Great Pyrenees dogs that were guarded the herd of sheep & goats in the pen that was pretty neat to see. It's not a common breed to see and they were very affectionate to us. There was a cattle dog named Flash that we also got to see in action herding some of those Clydesdale horses into the barn. I think we were pretty lucky to see an actual working dogs & farm. The host (owners son) was our sleigh guide and he was very gracious. We made our way around the property to a cabin to have hot chocolate and sat around an antique wood burning fireplace, play some checkers and listen to an antique foot player piano! How cool is that !! We had a nice time and would definitely come back!!!

Not much to do on a rainy day in the winter. Nice farm, with an indoor petting zoo. Although some may say pricey to pet a few farm animals, it was a nice way to help out local farms. They offer fresh and frozen meat, honey and syrup from their farm. As well as local area items. Hay rides and sleigh rides in season.

This was my second visit to Adams Family Farm, was there previously in 2012, and enjoyed myself just as much this time. The animals are extremely well cared for.... friendly, curious, and love to be petted and fed; you can buy baskets of food from the store/gift shop. They give you a little chart telling you who eats what. In the "bunny house", when I sat the food basket down so I could play with them, they swarmed the basket and tore into the food cups en masse... it was hilarious!!The walk to the pond was lovely; the meadow brimming with autumn wildflowers. I think my favorite animals were the HUGE snow white turkeys, and the beautiful Gypsy Van horse The gift shop has excellent items to take home... everything from local made jams, maple syrup, crafts, tee shirts. This Farm is really a great place to visit, whether you're an adult or child.. it's always enjoyable to mingle with farm animals and learn how a working farm operates.

This is a great place to go. Any time of the year. You can get up close to thing and see how things are done today.. The town has a great web site: www.craftsinnvideo.com This is has nothing but tons of video on it... really helps. Showed some great places to eat in town and stay.

Although the border collie was very friendly, as were some of the young girls walking some of the animals, my grandchildren and I were horrified to see several rabbits in the large enclosure with their eyes oozing of pus from injuries of some kind (and some didn't even look like they still had their eye). The large pig was also rubbing his neck raw and bloody from scratching it against the wooden pole of a pen that was in need of some repair. The farm has potential but is in need of some TLC, as are some of the animals!!!

I WISH I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS! this was horrible. it cost 7$ for adults and $5 for children (a 2 year old)- which its fine if it lived up to what it says on line- or even what it used to be. we were given a 1 basket of food and all of the animals were so over fed not a single one except for the goat, would eat. the horses wouldn't come near us neither would the sheep. we finially found out why this was when one of the adults touced a wire fence and found out it was electric. then the poor dog got close and was shocked so badly he ran away yelping and screaming. My 2 year old was with us, and there were no signs about the fense, and the people that worked there didnt say a word. infact when we left we told them about the dog and they LAUGHED! the litle girl working there said that he gets shocked all of the time. the animals were filthy (yes i know what a farm is like, i ahve worked on farms- this was beyond), over fed and not treated well. I hear this is under new managment, as of this year, so im not sure why it says this farm is 6th generation. we will never go here again, i feel so bad for the animals. DO not go to this farm and support them. if you do besure to stay far from the fences!!!!!

We did go off season i guess, but even so the place was a mess. Not at all what the website explained to be. It was like a ghost town and when a man did come out he was munching on like beef jerky or something and was not welcoming at all. He was not mean just not friendly. It was not very clean at all. We did go on a wet muddy day so some is understandable. Even when i called to ask if it was something i could do with my 2 year old the women was like "oh your little girl would love to come play and cuddle with all the baby animals". Between the call and the website it was portrayed to seem like there was a room where they had the babies in a safe area, maybe carpeted or something, where the kids could sit down and hold and pet then etcc..everything was gated up and no one even asked if we wanted to go in anywhere or explained anything to us. And the fact that it was $19 for me, my husband and our daughter to see the animals and feed them was kind of pricey. All in all i was very disappointed. I will def not be going there again. We traveled an hour out of our way to come there so that my 2 year old would have something natural and fun to do instead of doing something indoors like always. when we left the farm my family and I basically just laughed and felt like ok lets just look at this like we donated to a local farm...make me feel a little better about it anyways...

Enjoyed our sleigh ride with our two ladies drivers both with a great sense of humors. Good stories and history of the farm. We made a stop at a little log cabin on their farm in the woods and had hot chocolate...yum. We really need to support our farms and all the hard work it takes to run them. Enjoy a treasure!

I loved our visit to the farm! It was like being a little kid again, feeding all the friendly animals.

As my DH spent the morning on Mt Snow doing the tough Mudder, I spent the morning with my 2 girls, ages 1 and 3 at Adams Family Farm in Wilmington, and it was terrific. There were lots of animals to see and feed, and we were able to get right upclose. My tots were right in the bunny hutch and in the chicken coop, surrounded by animals. There were baby goats climbing through their fences to meet us, and tiny kittens scampering up to be petted. The farm is well kept and the Adams were all very nice. The pony ride was short, but perfect for a 3year old, and the wagon ride was lovely. It was pricy I suppose, but I imagine that taking care of the animals and the grounds year-round is expensive. I spent a full morning with two very happy girls, so I would say it was with every penny.

I happened on this charming family farm while driving through, and really enjoyed my visit. For a small fee you can tour the grounds and get a bucket of various feed for the different animals. There's a nice picnic area, a lovely pond, barns, nice gift shop, and hayrides. I believe in winter sleigh rides are offered too. As an adult visitor I had such as much fun as a young child would, and also learned quite a bit about what goes into a real working farm. Do visit Adams Farm, you will enjoy it no matter what your age!

I can't say enough good about The Adams Farm! My tour groups have visited it 3 different times and always it's one of the favorite things my guests do. For a small fee of I think $12 my groups enjoy a wagon ride through the farm pulled by antique tractors with narrated stops along the way including their maple sugar lot, trout pond, local history, cabin and more. We enjoy a demonstration of sheep herding with Flash the farm dog, see the goats, enter the theatre to hear Bill talk of his family history which is extremely interesting and this time saw baby bunnies and got to bottle feed a goat. Their gift shop is enjoyable and we bought lots of their maple syrup and other goodies. I will never visit New England without a stop there and I hope you too will support this American family farm!

I have been to the farm with my groups more than once and it is always a great time! Love the family (flash included), the demonstrations and hands on goat feeding are so much fun! The wagon ride through the property is amazing, one customer told me today that he loved it so much because it reminded him of where he lived as a kid, if you happen to be in the area, make sure to stop in!

Adams Farm has been one of my family's favorite attractions for years. It's not the Bronx Zoo but it doesnt try to be. It's a real VT farm that doing a great job fighting the uphill battle that all small farms face. Go, see some different things, try some different activities, you'll have fun.

I brought my five year old niece and four year old and 20 month old nephews here this past weekend. My nephew had wanted to milk cows so I thought the petting zoo would be perfect. The farm is adorable and well-maintained. They have a great selection of animals and is very interactive! The kids were able to feed cows, chickens, turkeys, bunnies, goats, pigs and alpaca. We went into the bunny house and chicken and turkey pens. It was a good value as well. We paid $45 for food and entrance fees for 4 adults and two children. I look forward to bringing my own children there some day! I would like to try some of the other attractions: tractor pull, fishing, bonfires, and sleigh rides.
