I appreciated that samples were available upon request, though the shop wasn't really set up to encourage sampling, and the staff seemed quite busy when I visited. Other cheese shops I have been to have a more welcoming sampling experience. There were also crackers, spreads, chocolate and teas available for sale. I was interested in one of the chocolate and mint teas, and was going to purchase, but it was $15, so a little steep in price for me. I did some crackers and two types of cheese. Haven't tried them yet, but looking forward to giving them a taste.

If visiting the Apple Hill area this is a great stop. There are two options for parking. One small…read morelot directly in front of the business and the other right across the street (big lot). This stop has a little bit of it all. When you enter the main entrance, to the right is an area you can order fresh donuts and goodies. To the left a counter and area you can purchase more (fudge, caramel sauce, apples, candied apples, frozen pies, toys, products,etc). Outside, there is a bbq food counter you can order several different meal or side options. They offer fountain drinks as well. There are many places to sit and eat with a beautiful view. Along the side of the building entrance there are booths with vendors. There are activities for kids. There is a maze that you buy an all day access band for ($5) and gold mining (purchase a bag of choice , different sizes & items included, around $9). In the middle is a large grassy area kids can run around and a few trees that are nice for shade. All the employees that assisted me during my visit were very friendly and helpful. Even with a long line on the inside for goods, the line moved quickly. We ordered a few food items from the BBQ Stand. The brisket plate, side of fries, and carnitas tacos with a side of potato salad. The food was good. I enjoyed the brisket and fries. The potato salad was okay. The rest of my group enjoyed the other items. We tried plain chocolate fudge and it was delicious. Super cute fun stop! Family friendly.

Great product and service at a reasonable price! The smell of the pastries was incredible and the caramel apple was outstanding!

The apple cider was also pretty good. The ciders weren't too strong, coming in at around 4.2% alcohol, so they were light and easy to enjoy. If you're more into beer, I highly recommend trying the apple beer! It was delicious, light, and not overly sweet. Definitely one of my favorites! Another great thing about visiting is that there's a pumpkin patch right by the farm, and everything is free! It's a cute spot to walk around and enjoy the fall atmosphere. This place gets pretty busy, especially during the fall season. Parking isn't too bad if you go at a good time, but expect traffic in the surrounding area. There isn't much seating available, so we ended up standing while enjoying our drinks. Pay attention to which line you're getting into! The line for pastries and food is separate from the line for drinks at the bar, so make sure you're in the right one before waiting. Overall, Boa Vista is a fun spot to visit if you enjoy cider, apple beer, and fall activities! Just be prepared for crowds and limited seating, especially during pumpkin patch season. I'd recommend visiting earlier to beat some of the traffic and enjoy everything at a more relaxed pace!
