This place is genuinely adorable and filled with beautiful animals to see, my favorite was definitely the highland cows and all of the babies there.The family who runs this farm is super sweet and friendly and made us feel welcome both times we went. The little shop inside was adorable and had all kinds of fresh meats and cheeses. read more

We had so much fun visiting the farm and getting a tour of all the animal pens! Our tour guide truly loves each animal and you felt a personal connection.. Our tour guide took us around all the facilities and let us interact with each animal. We went inside every gate and touched animals, I got to hold a chicken, piglet, rabbit, was able to pet cows and sheep. They have a mini farm store too where you can buy milk, cheese, meat, yogurt etc This is a wonderful activity for kids and adults alike. I would absolutely come back! read more

I could not be any HAPPIER at this very moment! I wish I could share this authentic, heart-felt experience with EVERYONE. I'm so thrilled I have to use capital letters because this place is THE BEST! We were pleasantly surprised they are open and follow stringent covid safety guidelines for all their guests. We were greeted at the store and took a tour with Lisa, who exudes hospitality, compassion and warmth. She treated us city slickers to profoundly educational and poignant encounters with all the animals. These aren't typical farm animals! They are extremely social, well taken care of, and interactive. You can telli they love Lisa and are happy to share that love with you! There's so much I want to add, but you need to come see for yourself. As an adult with no children, I had so much fun. If I had kids, this would be an absolute must! read more

A hidden little gem! Ben gave us a nice tour of the farm - he was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly. My kids and I learned a lot. They particularly liked the petting zoo (especially the rabbits and the adorable 5 day old calf) and learning about all the animals. We bought some tasty farm-made cheese on our way out. This was one of the highlights of our Vermont vacation. read more

Wow! What a great experience at the farm! Farmer Dave was so kind and genuinely loves his job. We could tell from the start that it was going to be a wonderful tour. He guided our children around to meet each animal and made them feel comfortable petting and/or feeding them too! He even gave our youngest a tractor ride! Honestly, couldn't get a more authentic farm experience for the kids! Definitely worth a stop with the littles! read more

Loved this place. I am lucky I got the girlfriend to leave LOL. Tour was great. Bought some of their cheese and we loved it. Highly recommend, especially if you have kids. read more

How is it we have been coming to this area for over twenty years and we just discovered this place? Fresh beef, pork and veal...check. Fresh cheese, milk and eggs...check. Ice cream for the kids....check. Fresh vegetables and maple syrup...check. Yeah, it's an awesome farm. Lysa greeted us as we arrived and showed us around the farm. The cows were so friendly, the goats were friendly, the horses were friendly, the calves were friendly, the turkeys are mean because, well, they're turkeys. Bunnies, alpacas, pigs, chickens, horses and donkeys...all for meeting and greeting. You pay on the honor system. They have a place to wash your hands. If you've never been licked by a cow, visit. What a great afternoon at the farm. If you go to Manchester and have not visited, you are truly missing out. Lysa was a fantastic guide and you can see how passionate she is about the farm and its animals. Don't miss this place if you are in the area. If you need fresh meat, I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

What an amazing farm experience! We got to take a tour with David and saw sheep, goats, a donkey, an alpaca, chickens, ducks, cows, pigs and rabbits. We were able to pet and feed a lot of the animals and learned a lot about the farm. We saw just born piglets, a 12 hour old calf and baby sheep. We were able to sample and buy some delicious cheese curds, local honey, yogurt and the store had a lot more to offer. They also had a huge playground. This is a must do! All the kids and adults had a great time, highly recommend! read more

This was so much fun for all of us! we are two senior citizens, one forty something and a ten year old. we ALL loved the tour!! seeing the tiny baby bunnies was a highlight as was watching the tiny pigs zooming around their mother. we interacted with goats, sheep, donkeys, calves, turkeys, ducks and chickens.

Drove by and saw the sign yesterday and brought the family back today. We were the only ones there so we got the run of the place. Very family friendly we got to see and pet sooo many animals! Goats, sheep, two big draft horses, baby cows, pigs with piglets, chickens, baby quail and turkeys. The place where the house the animals could be a touch more organized, but you can tell it's a local family farm so it doesn't bother me but others may expect something a bit more polished. The store however is very polished, organized and crazy great clean. We bought some butt bacon for hubby and cheese for me. I definitely recommend a stop! read more

A visit to this farm must be on everyone's bucket list. We were greeted my one of the farmers , Lysa, who was so beyond kind. The country store upon entry is adorable and sells tons of locally made products and of course ice cream ! Little did I know this quickly became the best day of my life. Lysa first brought us into the barn where we met a bunch of angels : 4 newborn calves and the rest of the cow gang ! As vegetarians , me and my boyfriend adored meeting the cows and felt so comforted by the love and care shown to these animals. We continued on the meet the chickens , pigs , ducks , rooster , horses , donkeys , alpacas and sheep (in that order). The cherry on the sundae was getting to hold Moon, the newborn sheep. Lysa made this day so wonderful. And we couldn't leave without buying a locally made sorbet pop! Id you're in the area this place is a must - go. 5 stars !!! read more

This special place is completely enchanting for adults and children. The owner shared the name, Behaviors, and background story of each creature on the farm and allowed me and my family to Pat or feed many of the creatures. We had a fantastic time and urge you to visit this lovely place that you will always remember read more

If you want to learn how cheese is made, get a feel of Vermont local farming, be up close and personal with cows, rabbits, goats, horses, pigs, goose and chickens; this is the perfect farm to visit. The farm owner Lisa is extremely knowledgeable with a great personality. read more

We enjoyed our guided tour at North Meadow Farm. The farm is a dairy farm, but also has a petting farm with goats, alpacas, turkeys, donkeys, pigs, steer and calfs, ducks, hens and bunnies. Our guide let us go into several pens with the turkey, baby goats and we got to pet many of the animals (except for the alpacas - not social - and bunnies - too hot outside). For tours, look for someone who works there are in the store. They do tours as people come in. There is also a playground with swings and play sets for kids to get out some energy! Overall, it was a nice experience at the farm but it was unfortunately a hot day even though it was just 10ish in the morning. Tip, go when its not hot as many of the animals really just want to be left alone. $10 adults, $5 kids unless 3 and under (free). I would suggest to go on a day when there are tours available. They don't really let you walk around the farm without paying the entrance price as they do need to make a viable living. I can see why as they sell what they make (raw milk, beef, pork, eggs, vegetables) and they need this to sustain their small farm. read more

Ben was such an amazing tour guide, very informative and passionate about all of the animals. We love learning and getting to pet/hold the sheep and bunnies. Would definitely recommend visiting and checking out their store on the way out. read more

The owner of @wunderwoven in West Wardsboro recommended we make the 30min drive from Stratton to North Meadow Farm and it couldn't have been a better experience. We spent an hour plus with volunteer, Bella, giving us a guided tour of the farm. We were able to see all the farm animals including being able to hold chickens, baby chicks, turkey's, rabbits, ducks and baby goats. They also had beautiful piggies, alpacas and cows. The farm store was staffed by her younger brother, Ben and they had so many offerings from different cuts of meats, cheeses fresh milk, eggs and ice cream. I would highly recommend paying them a visit! read more

A nice place to stop, especially if you have kids. We had a good tour by a young man named Ben who certainly knew his animals!

Visiting north meadow farm maybe was the best day of my life? We came to the farm on a Saturday and right as we walked up a pint sized kid asked us if we needed any help. We told him that we were looking for a tour of the farm thinking he would point us in the right direction. To our surprise, he said he would give us the tour. My boyfriend and I kind of chuckled to each other and I was a bit disappointed to be getting a tour from a kid. Little did we know, Ben is the coolest 9 year old around! He is so knowledgeable and assisted us in holding the animals with care (his sister was assisting too! And she also rocks!) It was an amazing experience getting to hold bunnies, chicks, and a 2 week old lamb! We also got to feed the goats and alpacas. It was a lovely experience and we definitely want to come back. Lots of delicious food for sale too. Also, to the parents of Ben and his sister, I hope you know how wonderful your kids are! read more

We heard that North Meadow Farm had some nice cheese, so we stopped by and had a great time. There is a little farm store that offers fresh eggs, raw milk, meat, ice cream, and yes, cheese. It's on the honor system, and while we were browsing, several locals stopped by to pick up their weekly eggs, etc. We bought some of the everything bagel cheese curds, and we sampled a few others - all were delicious! While we were in the store, we were greeted by one of the farmers, Jesse, and he gave us the history of the farm and a little tour. We even got to say hi to the chickens and pigs. They are a community farm, and they offer lots of nice amenities - petting zoo, playground, picnic tables, etc. We stopped for cheese but got so much more. Check it out if you're in the area. read more

Had the loveliest time visiting this farm. We were looking for things to do with our 3 year old and this was perfect! Ben was our tour guide, and he was just awesome. You could tell within moments how much knowledge & care he had for those animals. We got to visit chickens, pigs, rabbits, cows, goats, and ducks! They even make their own cheese onsite which you can watch from the window within the shop. Ben makes doggie cookies too if you want to bring a treat back for your pup. And a bonus- there's a great little playground on site too! Even in the cold temps, my son had a ball. Highly recommend- will definitely come back again. Can't beat the price either. read more

This place is such a gem - can't recommend it enough. Picturesque farm with the absolute sweetest animals ever who are clearly so loved.

Just five minutes from Manchester town and Dorset... an absolute must to visit when in the area. read more

Fantastic little farm for kids to visit in Manchester. Picked up some fabulous cheese and maple candy, but will return for the fresh eggs and other delicacies another time. Ben was a wonderful tour guide and gave us the history and names of all of the animals on site. A must visit for all families! Look out for: Alpacas Cows Donkies Turkeys Sheep Goats Pigs Rabbits Ducks And over 200 chickens read more

This was our favorite part of our trip to Manchester! We highly recommend taking a tour. It's a very reasonable price ($10) for a guided tour and you get to pet the animals! It was very personal and Lysa is great! You can tell she truly cares for the animals and knows a lot about them. Once the tour ends you can stay as long as you want and hang with the animals. There were baby bunnies born a week ago so we stayed and held them for a while. Also, amazing fresh ice cream! Would definitely go back and so worth it! read more

We plan on going to the farm every time we visit Vermont. read more

There's a reason why all the reviewers are thrilled with North Meadow Farm. Went for some cheese tasting.. walked out with a bunch of cheese and a realization that NMF is NEVER closed.. Ice Cream is the secret buzz word and it's yours if you're in the know! I really enjoyed my talk with Lysa and appreciated her love for cheesemaking and the farm itself. Sharing the Maple Cheddar Cheese for the first time was a real treat for me and we loved the silky smooth cheddar taste that is sure to be a favorite of cheeseheads for years to come. I can't wait to return with a cooler for some more cheese and look forward to sharing some more conversation with Lysa! read more
