The exterior is misleading & easy to pass by if you're not in the know - don't let it fool you! Breakfast is only served on weekends between 8 AM & 1 PM & we just happened to be there. Service was extra warm & welcoming - we had our pup with us & it was a not so great weekend weather wise & while we offered to order & sit outside at a table as to not disrupt other diners, they managed to put us in their back room so no one had to eat out in the cold (Pepper can't write her own review, but she says thank you, two paws up!) While the menu is small, one item is better than the next & you can't go wrong no matter what you choose! Prices are reasonable for everything you get & in today's economy, it's a rare find! The apple pancakes were to die for & honestly, the biggest pancakes I've ever seen! Fresh biscuits with maple butter (YUM!) Don't pass up on the extra creamy & delicious chocolate milk! Seriously - can I get an IV drip of that? This place is the embodiment of farm to table (obviously). Zero frills, but full authenticity of a working farm. Wonderful place & wonderful people. They have lots of their goods for sale too, so you can take Buck Hill Farm home with you! We bought their delicious bourbon maple syrup, fresh herbal tea, hot sauce, & took some ribs back to the house to grill for Father's Day! Plenty of full & happy bellies even after leaving the farm. After breakfast, swing by the chicken coop & thank the ladies for the delicious eggs! LOL We hope to visit again next time we are in the area!

Very handy. Thanks! The location is also nothing to sneeze at. NY-145 is a gorgeous route for motorcyclists & cagers alike. In fact, it's one of my favorites in the entire world. Don't overlook this little farm stand operation!

Charming little farm store well off the beaten-track, that is open limited hours (Friday and…read moreSaturday 10-5, plus "by appointment or chance"), that participates in "Maple Weeks" and is open on weekends the last two weekends of March. The sugaring features a small tour of their mid-sized and pretty impressive boiler (call first to make sure it's running, though, if you want to experience its full noisy hot glory) and an explanation of the sugaring process. You can also get a short hayride for a buck through part of their sugarbush (about 20 minutes). There's not a whole lot else to do for the kids, but they do have free samples of sugar candy. The little store itself sells lots of maple products (syrup, sugar, cream, maple nuts, maple coffee), a few other farm items (notably fresh eggs and frozen beef from the farm next door), jams, and some gifty things (very nice hand-crafted mugs, some books, a few other miscellaneous decorative items). It's not huge, as I said there's not a whole lot to do other than the boiler tour and the hayride, but it's definitely worth a detour during sugaring season and a quick stop if you're ambling through the countryside otherwise. Very friendly family-run farm. They do have an on-line store (see URL, which I hope the Yelp elves will add now that I've submitted an update) and I recommend their stuff as tasty, naturally-grown upstate product. Worth supporting. If you like antique stoves, this is probably worth a side trip. They have a big one in mint condition that looks well over a 100 years old. Navigational tip: Google maps can't find the address here for some reason; go to the corner of Grovenor's Corner and Crommie lanes, the entrance to Maple Hill is on the south side 25 yards past the intersection on the west side; note a little hillside cemetery, which you drive past going up the drive to the farm.

So, I decided to come out and take a look. The gentleman working there had a wonderful Brooklyn accent. I asked him if he was Vinny, and his response was, "We're all Vinny. How ya doin''? They have a good amount of cheeses and baked goods, among other things. I asked if they currently had apple cider donuts, but unfortunately they didn't. Instead, I bought a five pack of apple fritters. To me, they seemed more like Apple filled jelly, donuts, than apple, fritters, but they were still absolutely delicious! Tender, with plenty of apple filling. I also got some apple cider, which was wonderful, and, based on the sign on the outside of the stand, I bought a smoked trout. It was so good. Tender, smoky, just absolutely delicious. The price for everything was very reasonable. Don't let the look of the place turn you away. You will get some great deals here. Thank you..

These days, I'm making a habit of going to Forts Ferry Farms' pop up markets…read more I was introduced to a new-to-me herb, cilantro-like, from Peru. It is even more punchy than cilantro. I don't remember the name of it. Use sparingly. Heirloom tomatoes - I bought a flat of them so I made gazpacho and a fresh tomato sauce (using Marcella Hazan's recipe). I also ate some raw - still warm with a little salt. Tomatoes define the taste of summer. Peaches - this is the first year FFF is offering their own peaches. I don't know what kind of peach it is. It is smaller, the flesh more delicate with a more pronounced flavor. The memoir, Epitaph for a Peach, by David Mas Matsumoto, came to mind when I tasted it. This peach wasn't grown to be hearty and built to withstand the rigors of transport, it was grown to be flavorful; to be eaten and savored. I'm so glad FFF is here to remind us how produce should taste. I'd almost forgotten.

I knew nothing about this place when my wife suggested for a surprise lunch on a Saturday…read moreafternoon, and we had to rush over as they have limited hours. It was cold and raining outside and I was happy to get out of it and relax. Sadly, I quickly found out her surprise involved eating outside under a tent in the cold and rain on a November day. Sigh. At least they had blankets on the benches. We ordered in the far tent and the menu board was both helpful (it listed everything in each entree, including onions) and annoying (it indicated no substitutions were allowed, including onions). Not to be deterred, I picked the pepperoni pizza with hot honey, basil and Calabrian chili peppers. My wife ordered the Margherita pizza. Both were ready in about 15 minutes, but upon delivery to our table it became clear that a couple of things were off. First, my wife's pizza was cold and mine was pipping hot. Second, mine had so much basil- which in places was left in 2-3 leaf bunches- that perhaps they just cleaned out the pantry for the last order of the day. The crust in spots were burned, but I could live with that. However, it was so floppy that it couldn't be picked up under any condition. Everything but the outer inch of crust was like a thin wet tortilla. And their plastic cutlery wasn't up to the challenge, ripping the pizza toppings off and turning my pizza into a casserole. That being said, the flavors were wonderful on my pizza. The hot honey made for a really tasty flavor balance, and the copious amounts of curling pepperoni were a nice change of pace from the cheap stuff. The peppers were good too, and I wish I could source some locally. My wife's pizza was okay, though the whole mozzarella clumps reminded of dollops of Ricotta and they were very cold as if they were added after baking. Odd. I don't mind paying for expensive pizza if it is good. I am also not a pizza snob and will gladly eat subpar pizza. But, to overpay ($26 for mine alone) for pizza that is just a mess in a cardboard box rubs me the wrong way. The same goes for buying ($24) a cold pizza. The dessert we ordered was a Paris-Brest, and being a choux fan I absolutely loved it. Delicious with hints of coffee, almonds, nuts, and some flavorings I couldn't place, I would quickly come back here just for that. As for their pizza, I just don't know. On a nice pleasant day it would be fun, but too many mistakes on our pizzas makes me leery of ordering them again for those prices.

If you live in Woodstock or happen to be there on a Wednesday between June and the end of October,…read moredo yourself a favor and take a stroll through the Woodstock Farm Festival between 3:30 and dusk. Actually, if you live here you are probably cursing me right now in hippie speak because you have been coming here for 20 years.* Actually, if you live here, you probably aren't looking up your favorite farmer's market on Yelp so I'll just have at it. In 12-15 vendors or so you will find everything that you need to eat healthy and well. From meat to vegetables to fruit to other more savory items (pie, honey), you can easily do your shopping for the week sans beverages. It's an extremely friendly and community oriented atmosphere, accepting of anyone who wants to partake in the festivities. As a side to the market on Maple St., there is a flea market area where there are also food vendors, tents and picnic tables to enjoy your food and some live music. If you are lucky, you will even get to witness some dancing that has probably been going on here since the actual Woodstock. Get a couple tacos from Black Eyed Suzies and do yourself a big favor and get some pretzel bread from that nice lady with the pretzel stand. If you really want to treat yourself, get a chocolate filled pretzel croissant. Actually, get three and send me one...or all three. With Woodstock not full of too much to do at night, this market that spills over into the evening is the perfect opportunity to eat, shop, mingle with the locals and enjoy the cross section of Woodstock that makes it such a relaxing and inviting place to spend some time. _____________ *Sorry.
