At the cabin, visitors warm up by the fire and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and some tunes from the player piano. Enjoy a game of checkers while you're there.Currently in the summer months the Adams Farm offers; scenic tractor pulled wagon rides around the property, Rainbow Trout fishing in our privately stocked pond, and horse-drawn wagon rides. « less

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... More

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... More

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... More

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,... More

What's best about visiting Adams Farm is the Adams family! Just a relaxing time with the grandchildren...petting farm, picnic lunch and tractor-pulled wagon ride up into the woods. Real Vermont with real Vermonters!

We had made a reservation with our credit card (paid in full in advance) over the phone, for our family to take a sleigh ride. Our kids were really looking forward to it. We arrive 10 minutes late (GPS took us a very long route) to find the farm completely closed. No one was there to speak to us so... More

They recently announced that due to the economy, they will be closing the Farm. They will try to continue to the sleigh rides during the winter but the store, animals petting, and show will be discontinued.

We have been to Adams Farm a few times, previously as a couple and this most recent time (over Memorial Day 2009) with our 20 month old daughter. It's a neat experience either way, but I agree with the reviewer who said it's really more for families with kids, not couples. As a couple we did one of the Halloween... More

When I called to book a reservation the farm told me that this was a good activity for couples. That was not true. My boyfriend and I were the only people there without children. I think the hayride would be cute for families but beware - the promise of homeade fudge smores on the fliers is instead replaced with watery... More
