    We paid $60 + tax for two adults to bring our 22 month old to the "baby animal" event and were really excited for her to get an up close experience. The experience was literally a 10 minute tractor cart ride around the farm with just a drive-by view of the baby goats, not even a stop for us to view or take photos & no getting out of the carts. After that we were basically on our own to explore a couple barn areas where there were some goats, llamas, sheep and a couple pigs - no staff doing any education or event activities, no information. Total waste of money & outrageous overpricing for a promised experience that didn't happen. Not to mention the zoo area that we had been looking forward to seeing while there was also closed. Still kind of in shock & not really sure what I just paid for... not much more of an experience than if you went to a local barnyard. Best part of the experience was the animal feed but at $8 for a small cup, I don't know if it was worth it.

    My dear husband decided to ease us into the joys of haunted happenings in New Engalnd with a trip to Charmingfare Farm. I was skeptical. Did we need to drive over an hour to New Hampshire, among the barrage of Trump for President signs, to brave the elements of a cold late October evening, to be put in a position to be intentionally scared? I am not a fan of Halloween, or outside or being cold, but for the family, I sucked it up and off we went... two adults, one 13 year old who wanted to be scared out of her mind and a 9 year old who, like me, was going to be on a family adventure. I was pleasantly surprised! Yes, there were HUGE Trump signs (ok, there were a few Hillary signs that were clearly more tasteful and less in your face), yes, it was outside, yes, it was cold, and yes, we did get scared, but it was fun! DH bought the tickets on line for $25 each. I see by other Yelpers that there were opportunities for a discount (so maybe next time). For the $25 we got free parking, a horse drawn hayride through a spooky forest, a walk through a haunted barn, a tractor ride through a bog and then a walk through an infested corn maze.The petting farm animals were also open too. They also had a bon fire where you could make smores and stay warm while waiting for the next carriage to arrive to bring the next group through. It was a lot for $25 so it was ok. The staff was friendly, the grounds were beautiful and it was quite a creative production. It was appropriately creepy for younger kids and had just enough jump scares for the older ones. As a first timer, it would have been helpful to have more direction from the staff on where to go and what to do, but in the end, it all worked out. Not a bad first time. The Trump signs were by far, the scariest thing on the trip, even with the jump scares!!!! Pro tip - there isn't much around in the town of Candia, so grab a bite eslewhere before you go!

    Loved being here all weekend. All the animals are lovely and was so happy i chose to come here! The most important thing is that i felt very welcomed by everyone. I would suggest to anyone to take a visit!

    I felt really really sorry for the animals here. The cages were very small and the animals were all pacing. I'm not sure if this is ethical, and the fox made me cry. My son, who is 1, had fun however, so they earn a solid 3. The pricing is a tad high for what it is, so be on the lookout for good deals. Groupon has good ones. I really was hoping they had t-shirts for sale, but no luck there. The tractor ride was cool and we skipped the horse sleigh ride. The trails aren't really good for strollers, unless you bring the jogging kind- opt for a ergo baby or something like that instead.

    UPDATE: I should've updated this a long time ago, but I am happy to change my rating, since, upon seeing my sad tree on Facebook, Charmingfare contacted me and immediately refunded my money. I could tell they were not happy with the quality of the tree either! MY ORIGINAL POST: The Good: My family and I love the farm. We go at least once a summer to walk around and see the animals; we also usually visit one or more of their seasonal events. We've enjoyed their Halloween trick-or-treat as well as the Christmas sleigh rides. Beautiful and fun! The Bad: The reason I cannot give them five stars is their Christmas tree sale. I pre-purchased a 6-8 foot Fraser Fir. I was informed I could pick up 10-4 on Saturday or Sunday. I arrived at 10:10 on Sunday. A woman about my age and a teenage girl were working the gift shop, through which I had to walk to get to the trees. The trees were leaning against a fence, all netted. There were a few unnetted trees, but only the short ones. Several employees passed by me standing there, but none said anything. After 10 minutes, I returned to the gift store and told the woman I was there to pick up my tree. She looked a bit confused and asked the girl who was working the trees. The girl's response was "not me," and she left. The woman, on the other hand, was very professional and told me she would call immediately for someone to come help me. I waited another 10 minutes. When I returned again, she was genuinely surprised that someone had not yet shown up. I returned outside and waited again. After another short wait, I decided to ask for my money back. As I was returning to the gift shop, the woman was exiting, saw me and asked "They're still not here?" I said no and told her I'd just take a refund. She insisted on helping me with the tree herself. She was clearly not dressed for this, but was determined to help. We returned to the trees and I asked which were the Fraser Firs. She did not know. So I asked her to unnet a tall one. She explained that she could, but that she could not re-net it. They were selling Christmas trees, but had no netting machine on site. I could not bring the tree home without netting as I would not be able to get it in my house. I was so disheartened at this point, I took the tree without seeing it. Folks, I don't know why this tree was ever even chosen to be cut! It is, quite honestly, the worst tree we've ever had. It had obviously not been shaped well (I'll post a picture if I can) while growing, and shouldn't have been chosen by whomever was in charge of cutting the trees. It's been 1 week and this poor tree can't hold even my lightest ornaments. The tree itself is not the reason that I give only 2 stars. But the lack of help from the many farm hands and, even worse, the fact that the farm has yet to respond to my email concerning my experience definitely deserves the 2 star review. In short, I will visit the farm with my kids, but must tell everyone I can that this is NOT the place to get your Christmas tree.
