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.

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!

In the gift shop…read morethey have tons of alpaca fur products like yarn, scarves, socks, felted soap, stuffed animals, etc. The owner gave us a brief lowdown on the alpacas and even told us we could walk the perimeter of the fence to get a closer look (they all left the barn and were far out in the field). Nice pitstop while we were in the area!

We did the hay ride, bounce pad, corn maze, and checked out the farm animals. The hay ride was beautiful, lots of fall foliage and a great view of the huge pumpkin patch. We also got to see the pumpkin cannon launch a pumpkin while on the hay ride which was my kids' favorite! The apple fritters were delicious, and so was the apple slushy I tried. It was crowded but not nearly as long of wait times and crowds as other nearby pumpkin patches. We will come here again for sure!

There was so much to do and so many pumpkins to choose from! You can use cash and card; when you have your final picks you can bring your wheelbarrow to a nice man in the field who counts up your total. We had a great time getting lost in the corn maze, riding the hayride, looking through goodies at the store and eating pumpkin cream cheese cookies! I would say this experience is priced fairly for what you get; be prepared to spend some money but know the quality of your experience and pumpkins will be HIGH!! Hope you have a fun time at the Pumpkin Hollow- I sure did!

The event was already fully booked, but I easily found tickets available for the next scheduled tour at 10 AM. We were fortunate enough to have Kate as our tour guide. She is awesome! We all loved the tour and the animals. This is a place with purpose and we look forward to telling our friends and family all about it. Kate told us about the plans for the future and expansion etc. We will also look forward to coming back again.

Super cute spot to kick start your fall! We randomly found them last year on a fall drive along…read moreroutes 5&20, and had to go back this year again. They have all kinds of pumpkins (edible heirlooms and traditional orange in all shapes and sizes), plus gourds and minis, mums, corn stalks and hay bales, perfect for decorating (and GREAT prices, at $7 for a full-sized hay bale and $20 for 4 gorgeous heirloom pumpkins). Last year I bought 4 heirlooms and used them inside for my seasonal display and they lasted through winter, at which point I processed them all for soup! For families, they have games and play areas, a corn maze, a petting zoo, rides, and an apple blaster where you shoot apples at targets (more fun than it probably sounds!). The apple blaster is also perfect for a friendly competition between friends... Inside they have lots of fall themed decorations available for purchase, plus food that includes fresh apple cider donuts (available as singles, 6 packs and dozens) and local cider, coffee, hot cocoa, fresh popcorn, chili dogs and cookies. We ate a chili dog (good sized red hot with a nice meaty chili and red bean topping), pumpkin coffee, 6 donuts and popcorn while walking around picking our pumpkins, and were very pleased with the taste, portions and quality. This place will be on our list of must-dos for years to come! Definitely recommended!

In response to Linda L., I have to add that there was nothing at all wrong with the merchandise she…read morereceived, it was EXACTLY what she had ordered, every piece. We had her affirm photographically every piece before we sent it, so there would be no misunderstandings (or so we thought). She told us at first that we had shorted her one piece, which was magically found after we firmly insisted that we had send it. Her money HAS been returned to her, and any problem she is holding on to aren't a result of any wrongdoing on our part, but rather a vendetta-like grudge that is as confusing to us now as her sudden unhappiness with her chosen merchandise then. And... if there are lots of customers happy to give us positive reviews, why do you think that might he?

Okay, first let me say that this place has the best prices hands down for pumpkins, mums etc. The…read moreworkers are very nice and usually have samples out for you to try . My only suggestion is that they try to clean the place up a little! They could make a killing if they just fixed their signage ( which needs some serious updating , even the signs on the backroads are faded and hard to see!) The photo op area is off to the side surround by weeds and just looks like a real mess - which is what I think keeps people and families away. I know it's a small family business but this is something that can be worked on in the off season. Just these little tweaks to your business could really bring in a crowd. Unless that's what you're trying to avoid- which I also understand . They also need to work on their social media page- especially Instagram. Things are often misspelled , the number of years they have been open often changes, or the odd pictures of the older son with his shirt off is kind of weird to me , especially on a pumpkin farm page. But just thought I'd give my 2 cents. Otherwise, I can't wait to stop up and get some pumpkins and mums!
