We didn't realize that there were so many different varieties and we didn't realize how big this place is. We explored the orchard and took a look at all the animals they have. They have a beautiful little pond with a creek. They even have a bunch of farm equipment throughout the farm with information on what it is and how it's used on a farm. Really cool! They also have a really cool playground area for the kids! The staff here are really helpful and friendly. They have great apple cider and apple cider donuts and other treats! We will be coming back reel soon for sure!

My kiddos are 2 and 4, and we also went with some cousins who range ages 7-10. The takeaway: this place is nice for all ages. My first impression was how well-kept Kelley's is! For being a farmstead, you'd assume the space to be a bit more untidy/dirty, but they do a fantastic job. We entered into the initial barn where we found a bunch of baby farm animals! There were plenty of staff members about helping kids take turns holding animals if they chose to. Oh and there is a big hand-wash station, which is of course appreciated. As we wandered on to the next space, we found tons of outdoor yard-like games and activities - everything from hula-hoop'ing horses and duck tik-tac-toe, to outdoor bowling lanes and ride-on trikes. Safe to say our kids were stoked! Another bonus: the huge corn pit. It was so busy while we were there, but it's big enough that there was still tons of space for kids to all play at once. It was filled with toys, trucks, and buckets too. The best kind of sensory overload. We then wandered into the next/lower barn, and to our surprise: tons more animals to interact with! Cute chickitties, little pigs & mama pigs, goats, chickens, the list goes on. It was kind of a shock how well-mannered all the animals, meaning at no point did it feel unsafe to interact with them. Overall a wonderful day out a Kelley's Farmstead. I definitely recommend checking it out and supporting the nice family that owns and runs the place!

I appreciate the colorful corn (though we can maybe start referring to it as flint corn these days...), and and the warty pumpkins. The biggest draw for us, though, is the new calf they usually have in the barn, and the hayride up to feed the cows. It's definitely a core memory for the kiddos.

This giant of a fellow, must have been 7 feet tall, expertly tied the chosen tree to the top of our vehicle after a fresh cut. Very popular place, a couple days after Thanksgiving they had already sold out of trees over 10 feet tall.

You can wander around and find fun games, photo ops, and great food. The farm animals of course were adorable. I thought the entry ticket and flower ticket were very affordable for the abundance of beautiful zinneas we picked, access to fun yard games, and super kind staff. Highly recommend holding a baby goat if you can!! We also enjoyed corn hole, the "corn pit", kids playsets, and the jump pads. This is a great place to be summer or fall and there is something fun for everyone!! Worth the short drive from Madison for sure

It comes with a caramal apple and a cider donut on top of slushie. Hot cider and pumpkin cake were good. There was pumpkin picking in the middle of hay ride. I picked a small pumpkin. Price was reasonable. People were picking huge pumpkins and in larger numbers.

We had a very interesting and educational tour with lots of time to interact with goats, alpacas, donkeys, chickens and other assorted barn yard animals as well as learning a great deal. Every season there are different puppet show themes, events and exhibits which keep things fun for adults and kids. The owners are delightful, passionate, and informative. They know their business and are so generous with their knowledge. The farm is immaculate and well run -definitely a childhood experience our family will remember.

We all got grilled cheese variations with apples, salad and soup as sides. The chicken bacon ranch grilled cheese was overall the best. Both of the salads had rotten leaves, so best to avoid that unless you're ok picking through for good leaves. Service 5/5: the food came quickly and the staff was very friendly. Ambiance 1/5: we were very disappointed overall since they hype themselves up as an experience that includes cows. There were no cows in sight. I know during the summertime they will have baby cows, but overall to me there should be more transparency around not actually seeing cows when you visit the creamery. Other than that there is a small parking lot that can get very busy at times, but plenty of places to sit. We did love the kids playground outside but all of the bikes were broken/didn't work and the bags put away for corn hole. Overall we were really disappointed at this trip. No cows and lunch was just ok. If you are looking for a spot just for ice cream, they have amazing options and plenty of room for the kids to play, just don't tell your kids there are cows because you likely won't see any.

The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because one of the program leaders was yelling at guests…read moreupon entry about parking. The group consensus amongst multiple guests was that she didn't give a great first impression. She was rude, unprofessional and seemed unapproachable throughout the wine with alpacas event. That being said, the helpers and alpacas were amazing! The staff bringing the alpacas around were young, but wise about all things alpaca. The staff helping for the wine event were helpful, too. They had a great selection of snacks to pair with the various wines and you got a good pour at the end with the wine of your choice. They had music which helped in the background and it was a local father-daughter duo. We enjoyed the group we shared a table with and compared tastings the whole time. The gift shop was open during the event and they had things like yarn, sweaters, soap, etc available for purchase. As you can imagine with a smaller setup, the prices were a little high, but it looked like quality products. It was a good event and I'd recommend it to someone in the area looking for something fun and different!

LondonDairy hosts a variety of classes paired with alpacas to offer unique experiences. The owners of the farm are also into pairing alpacas with fun inspiring and unique experiences. Some of the classes on the farm even incorporate wine from some of the owners' favorite places abroad. I had the pleasure of attending alpaca yoga--our setting was serene; the day's weather was perfectly warm and bright; the yoga instructor was friendly and welcoming; and the yoga was gentle and relaxed. After class, we could sample up to 4 different wines, select a full pour, and then spend time petting and feeding the alpacas! We were also lucky enough to have come right after the birth of two new baby alpacas!!! One tip: Make sure you bring your own yoga mat or towel to better avoid the ants that may be in the grass. Some of the other classes offered at LondonDairy include a knit and drink series, as well as a paint with the alpacas class, too. Aside from classes, the place also has a gift shop with several unique items ($-$$$)--here you can purchase everything from a small takeaway items like ornaments and trinkets to full on winter clothing made from alpaca fur. They also have a section of alpaca yarn for all you knitters! I highly suggest visiting LondonDairy. So far, I haven't found anything quite like it. If you've tried goat yoga, it's time to step it up! :)

It is so lovely on the property, and in the adorable building that houses the apples and other goodies for sale. The ladies that man the register are really friendly and relaxed. They are happy to answer your questions - and believe me, there are lots once you start finding apples you've never seen before! They even gave me a tiny apple to sample and it was so juicy and flavorful that I walked back home to get my wallet and bought a bunch of them for a couple of friends that were hosting me for dinner. The orchard gave me an apple pie filling recipe to include, too, which was so fun. I've been back several times. Somehow apples at the supermarket will never be the same.
