Wood fired diavvolo pizza
Casey M.

Absolutely recommend visiting Pond Hill Farm when you visit Harbor Springs. Such a unique gem that offers tons of lawn games, easy hiking and great food and beverages (did I mention the petting zoo?!). A very family forward establishment but great for adults as well. The vegetation and vineyard are gorgeous, you're surrounded by hollyhocks everywhere and the outdoor stage is a great place to enjoy your wood fired pizza, beer and wine and some love music. They have a cute gnome scavenger hunt that you can do which walks you all along the property and through the woods and cornfields. Plenty of parking onsite and an outdoor and indoor bar area when it starts to get busy. The service was incredible and even if lines were backed up, the team worked in tandem to get everyone through as fast as possible even with allowing tastes of different wines and beers. There's some indoor seating as well, but not as much as the outdoor. Would absolutely spend a half a day here drinking, eating and exploring!

What a cool laid back spot. Lots of entertainment for kids. It did not feel like a rush rush rush type spot. My wife and I ordered their pizzas and they were absolutely delish. Highly recommend!! Wine was also VERY tasty( I got the driest red whine)

What a treat! We came out of the tunnel of trees and pulled into the farm. It was on my list of places to hit. So happy I did! We arrived at just the right time (4:30 ish). Live music started at 5. Got a bottle of wine, found a spot to sit & had an amazing time. The band was great. The crowd was having such a good time! We didn't eat there, but let me tell you - they push out the pizzas and they looked delish! Added bonus = a barn full of adorable goats!

Out for the fall festival. So much to do here! So many pumpkins too! We were hungry so first stopped for some pizza. Really good pizza being made here. Thin crust and really good ingredients. Had a great red wine with it Service was quick and efficient. Place your order, grab buzzer and find a seat. After eating spent about an hour wondering around the property. Lots of kid stuff. Did I mention there were lots of pumpkins!! The apple gum was so cool. We had to stop in the wine tent for a tasting too! This was fun. The bartenders were slinging wine and having a great time. Wine was pretty good with lots of options. The vibe here was super fun. I wonder what this place is like when it is not a fall festival?

This place was a lot of fun to visit. Great for kids and dog friendly too. They have many activities (like corn hole, human foosball, walking paths/trails). They also have goats that were cute and fun to look at. They have some outdoor seating in a tent area (near the playground) which we sat in because I had my dog. The pizza was pricier for the size ($20 for a pizza that one hungry person could eat or maybe 2 people could split if they aren't very hungry). I had a $3 hot cocoa which was yummy and chocolate-y. Everything was yummy though. They also have a gift shop with fun items inside. We all had a great time here! I feel like I could go back multiple times and exploring something new each time. Would recommend checking it out!

Super cute with the animals you get to feed! Pro tip: get the mug for $12 and fill it with some cider! You take the mug home and I live using it with coffee. Keith was awesome. He kept our drinks full! Perfect spot of kitschy basic b photos to show off all your shackets

Hands down the coolest place in harbor springs. Seated right on the end of town, this farm has something for everybody. There's gnome trails to walk, a market for shopping, a cafe with a wood fired oven for pizza, and a barn for animal petting. There's even a stage for live music on the weekends. They offer wine, cider and beer- that's all made on the farm. And the crown gem is the market filled with all the delicious sauces, salsas, jams and dressings that are also made in house. So much to do. So much to eat and drink. And everyone was SO friendly and helpful. HIGHLY recommend!

Cool basketball ball set up

Great venue for families or adults. Bucolic farm setting. Food menu is limited, mostly pizza, but tasty. Beer and wine, locally produced, are solid with options for every drinker. The flowers in summer are unreal, so many gorgeous planters with pansies, geraniums, etc. Games and farm animals for the kids. Perfect day or evening spaces.

We are on a girl's wine weekend and e we're so looking forward to this stop. I sent a message on Facebook messenger to find out their hours. I was told they were open until 8:00. At our first stop we were told to get there and have the brick oven pizza. We were even more excited! We got there and found out I was given false info through a staff member on messenger and they then they shut down the kitchen early because of lack of customers. After being given the wrong info and then shutting down before the regular time you think they would comp the two tastings the 4 of us shared. Nope. The cider and wine are delicious! The tasting room is absolutely adorable. The staff seemed very personable and the resident kitty is about the cutest thing ever. We will give them another try, but will definitely call and verify if they are open and how long the kitchen will be open.

What a cute and fun atmosphere! A group of 8 of us went in on a cold & rainy Tuesday afternoon. We had a few bottles of wine and ate. Some ordered the meat lovers pizza, some ordered a wrap, and I personally got the Thai salad. It was delicious! After enjoying our drinks and food we explored the outside. Outside had a heated tent with a bar and lots of tables. There was a stage set up for bands. We went into their livestock barn and enjoyed some farm pop a shot! So fun!

Expansive wine, beer and cider menu.

This place is incredibly special and unique to me and my family. We have been patronizing this place for at least the past 5 years. My absolute favorite time of the season to visit is during harvest festival because the humidity is out of the air and there are a ton of fun activities for the kids including but not limited to: pumpkin bowling, pumpkin/ apple smashing, apple gun, human foosball, bounce house, and a new basketball hoop made from adapted farm equipment. They also have a gnome hunt, a koi pond, amazing views, hiking and a hay ride. This place is family run and growing! They were at capacity when we tried to come on Saturday (350 car maximum), so we had to adjust our schedule to fit it in on Sunday instead. There is always something amazing going on here and if you take the time to check it out I'm confident you will want to make the pilgrimage here again soon. Until next year @pondhillfarm!

We enjoyed a serendipitous visit to the farm as we were exploring this area of MI by car on a cloudy Saturday. Expecting rain, we didn't plan to stay long. Fortunately, we dodged several rain clouds by ducking into the small gift shop, the lovely old barn, and the covered eating area. The rest of the time, we wandered around enjoying the animals, flowers, Gnome Trail and varied landscapes on this huge farm. We are not drinkers and didn't come for the wine, which people looked like they were thoroughly enjoying. We had a nice meal of sandwiches (pulled pork, grilled cheese) with sides of Coleslaw and Thai noodles and Caesar salad which we would rate 3.5/5 overall (a bit pricey but tasty.) The outdoor seating was nice during COVID and it filled quickly. On a nicer day, it would be easy to grab food and make a picnic on the lawn. Pictures speak volumes, so I will post some of my favorites. We enjoyed walking around the vineyards, and the view from the top of the hill. Bet it's fabulous at sunset. Also look for the row of raspberry bushes to the right of the trail leading g up the hill. They were teeming with tiny, tasty berries. We each picked a handful and enjoyed. The animals were really sweet and accessible. And the trails were fabulous. So much to take in. The Gnome Hunt was lots of fun and took us to varied habitats, with fun facts about the farm. There is a playground for kids. Outdoor games for families. Lots of choices for all ages. The barn was fun to explore. So many details.

Farmer's Breakfast. Bacon anyone?  Yes please.

we ordered two breakfast sandwiches and although the cheese was melted the egg was refrigerator…read morecold. I asked to have it warmed up and it came back slightly warmer. I understand that sometimes things happened but the the mean glares we reviewed from the women working there was incredible! Also the egg was in a square shape and had a weird texture. Our visit was on Sunday Sept 21. we also ordered a breakfast burrito and it was hot and the cinnamon donut was tasty.

My family & I very much love & appreciate the small locally owned & operated 'Birch Tree Bakery &…read moreCafé' located right on Main St. in downtown Harbor Springs, MI. Their handmade bakery goods and other goodies are made fresh daily, sometimes hourly, are always delicious and you can tell they take great pride in only offering the very best they can. We have ordered 'Yule log' otherwise known as 'Bûche de Noël', Christmas cake several times, including this year & they are always delicious and very well received by our Christmas guests! They use locally sourced ingredients where they can and always seem to have a lively, fun, yet relaxed atmosphere of locals and seasonal guests either stopping by for an excellent cop of coffee & a treat or maybe lingering for a while enjoy a breakfast treat or sandwich and while hopping onto the Internet to check of email via their Wi-Fi network. You are always greeted with a friendly 'Welcome' or 'Hello, we'll be right with you.' if they are busy and you always feel welcome even if it's your first time! We loved everything we've tried including their artesian breads, pastries, cookies, Pecan Rolls (so good when they've just come out of the oven!!) as well as their made-to-order cakes, which are amazing!! Highly recommended & we love supporting locally owned & operated businesses & this one is definitely worth supporting!

I moseyed into Johan's Pastries on a sun-dappled afternoon, lured by the scent of fresh-baked…read morenostalgia and the sight of... wait, is that a Doric column? Yes, friends, this donut temple is housed in a former gas station with Greek Revival flourishes, now lovingly restored into what can only be described as Art Deco meets Glazed & Confused. A former gas station with a Hollywood-era name, like a movie star who left the screen for something more meaningful. Like donuts. The donuts? Subtle. Soft. Soulful. They're the anti-Crumbl. No technicolor sprinkles, no birthday cake frosting tsunami--just golden rounds of lightly sweetened perfection that whisper, "You don't need to show off when you're this good." Try the Old Fashioned. Then sit out under the overhang like a dignified donut aristocrat and soak in the scene. Johan's isn't just a bakery. It's a vibe. A vintage dream. A fried philosophy. Come hungry. Leave enlightened.

We're visiting for the summer and absolutely love the quaint downtown vibe of Harbor Springs…read more Wednesdays and Saturdays are especially the perfect time to visit downtown because of the farmers market. On Wednesday, after visiting the farmers market, we stopped by johan's for a breakfast treat. My wife had a breakfast sandwich and I had an apple fritter that was as big as my head. No kidding, it was huge. They were both delicious and reasonably priced. The freshly brewed coffee was exceptional. What a fun way to spend a lazy morning. There are so many pastries, muffins, donuts, and sandwiches offered that I could not even begin to list them all here. It would be fair to say that there is something for everyone, including frozen novelties for kids like Sponge Bob Square Pants popsicles. There is a small inside place to sit and a larger covered outdoor patio where you can sit and people watch.
