Surprised my Mom celebrating her 70th birthday with my family, siblings and parents. It was an amazing time. The hosts here are wonderful. The breakfast was really good and the conversation there was even better. There was a farm dog named Odie and he greeted us when we first drove up. So many core memories made here. read more

What an awesome place! We stayed in the farmhouse. The main one. I had a big bathroom, AC unit and three other bedrooms. You could lock your door. Downstairs has a sitting area and a tiny kitchenette that's stocked with glassware, a coffee maker. You do get to know your fellow housemates which is really cool! The staff here is fantastic. They're all really nice and friendly. They are running a working farm but still make time for you. And that's really special! Breakfast was absolutely amazing. It was nice to have a slice of pie, eggs and coffee. You get to meet the people who stay at the other farmhouse too. Everyone hangs out and chit chats for a while. The morning starts with farm chores if you want to go! The kids loved it. There's a refrigerator for you to put your goodies in. It's not too far from town but you will need a car. Plenty of room to walk, kick a ball, play games. I will warn you, T-Mobile service is terrible there! Not their fault. Verizon seems to work well. This was an absolutely fantastic place to stay. I highly recommend it. read more

We had a fantastic farm tour at Verdant View Farm! What a cool experience. Our family got to milk a cow, see a newborn calf, hold baby bunnies, hold a chicken, hold baby goats, and much more! The tour operated at a good pace and the guide was patient with the kids and very friendly. It was a good price and amount of time. We loved it and can't wait to be back! read more

This was the most beautiful and peaceful mini vacation with my daughter. The room was quaint and the attached bathroom was spectacular. I wanted to take the shower home with me . The morning farm tour and chores was not just fun, but educational as well. After chores was a family style breakfast on the porch with all the guest. Food was amazing. We added on the s'more's package and had them with the family owners. read more

First farm B&B my friend and I stayed at and would highly recommend. Got up and did some chores and too a tour of farm. Milked a cow, pet some goats, cats, their family dog, and cows. Meant the family at breakfast and they were so nice! Trey was excellent showing us around. Front house is closer to the road and other is back by the farm. Probably more suitable for kids. read more

We had a phenomenal time here. We stayed for 3 nights at the little white cottage, which is about a one minute walk from the farmhouse where breakfast is. The room had its own window AC unit which worked well in the hot weather. It was raining and unexpectedly chilly on one of the days during our visit. Our room even had a electric fireplace which kept us warm and cozy. Breakfast is prepared by a nice Amish lady named Lydia. Due to coronavirus, breakfast is being served outside on their deck with tables spaced apart. We greatly enjoyed our breakfasts. The host Elisa and Pat are quite nice. They make a point of asking the guests to introduce themselves each morning. It was nice getting to know the other guests, for instance we met a grandmother and her grandson Jack, the latter who seemed to know the ins and outs of all things farm related including the type of dog Scooby was (the farm's well loved border collie). We did chores with the farm employees every morning. We were shown how to milk a cow. A newborn goat (farm employee told me these are called "kids") was born during our stay so we got to hold the baby goat. Another baby goat needed supplemental formula so we helped with this as well. I never knew female goats also had horns. The farm is close to many other local attractions: The Strasburg Railroad is less than two miles down the road; Sights and Sounds theater is close by as well. Lancaster City is a bit further (about 30 mins or more). The location worked out great for us. We had a wonderful time here and highly recommend it to anyone. read more

We had a wonderful time during our stay! Yes, you do pay to stay and do chores, but my son loved it. However, the staff was not overly friendly. No one was there to really welcome us, but we figured out what to do. Went to visit a few months later as we were in the area, and we were told to leave, that only paying guests were allowed on the property. read more

Our room was comfortable and the house has a great common area. We all enjoyed the morning chores taking care of the farm animals. We couldn't tear our kids away from the goats who love to jump on your backs and play. The breakfast served was delicious and had options for everyone. We can't wait to go back! read more

If I could give more stars I would. Elisa and her farm crew truly offer an amazing and enriching farm experience. Rooms are immaculate and meticulously kept, farm property is beautiful and well maintained. Upon arriving at Verdant View Farm you are greeted by the stunning property and gorgeous view that seems to go on forever. The main house is beautiful with native flowers and plants blooming all around. The veranda (where breakfast is served daily) faces out to the farm where you can see cows grazing in the pasture and hear the subtle cluck of happy chickens. Morning chores are anything but chores! The farm crew offers the opportunity to learn first hand how to properly milk a cow, feed a part of their herd, look for chicken eggs, and answer any questions. After morning chores you wash up quick and sit down to a delicious home cooked breakfast on the veranda with all of the guests. Each morning the breakfast is different and is delicious as the next. Expecting a mini box of cereal with a small milk? No way. Be prepared to feed on pasture raised eggs, different types of sausage, home made yogurt and fruit, and of course a sweet pie or cake. After breakfast you are free to roam the beautiful property, shop in the farm store, and even revisit the animals. Like I said Elisa and her crew offer an amazing experience. You will not be disappointed. read more

Just an update. We grilled up the porterhouse and rib eye over the last few months. Because it's grass fed and fresh from farm, it's not like your supermarket meats. They are phenomenal and tasty! We only didn't like the beef breakfast sausage. Sorry Verdant View, I guess im a pig guy when it comes to my breakfast meats. I'll attest to the wonders your steaks are on the grill though (cooks faster and more thoroughly, and flavor 100x enhanced with charcoal). read more

We had a lovely time at this friendly and lovely family farm , bed-and-breakfast Charming, decor, home cooked delicious breakfast that came with dessert!

Very comfortable bed and breakfast, on a working farm. We stayed in room 6 of the "little white house" with two comfortable full-size beds, A/C, full bath and use of a shared kitchen and living room. All very nice. From there a five minute walk to the main building for morning "chores" (i.e. taking a kid-friendly tour of some of the animals: feeding calves and goats, chasing chickens, etc), then a lovely communal breakfast with the hosts and the other guests. Really a nice place to stay, and convenient to the rest of the area. read more

Verdant View Farm - View from the barn. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Paradise, Pennsylvania

Stayed at the bed & breakfast for a few nights in Nov and absolutely enjoyed our stay. The farm is beautiful and really let you be immersed in the quiet countryside experience. The morning chores were our favorite part interacting with all the cows, goats and chickens. The hosts were also very hospitable as we had breakfast with them and other guests each morning. The food was delicious homemade Pennsylvania Dutch food made by an Amish woman who cooked for us. Despite the circumstances with COVID, things flowed very smoothly while all safety cautions were met. Highly recommend!! read more

Fantastic Apprentince Tour. My all loved it including my teenage son who was in heaven when the dog and cats were climbing on him. It was fun milking the cow and feeding them. While feeding the cow was licked by another one, they have very rough tongues. Was cool holding the chickens. My favorite was holding the baby goat. My son sat down and the goats were climbing all over him. I highly recommend if he have kids that enjoy animals. read more

We really enjoyed our stay at VVF. My toddler and I stayed in the Little White House room 6 which was spacious and comfortable with good working Wifi. There is even a perfect sized rocking chair and picture window for a toddler. It also helped that there were two beds and a bath tub when traveling with kids. Things to be aware of: it's right on the main road so there is a lot of traffic noise (I'm a light sleeper so it did keep me awake but thankfully the kiddo slept through that). You can also hear the train but it doesn't run late at night. Also, you need to bring your own shampoo, I didn't realize that but I did have my son's baby shampoo so thankfully used that. It was great having a full kitchen and living room downstairs and while there are two other rooms that can be rented out, we were the only ones there at the time and had the whole house to ourselves. We loved doing the farm chores and visiting with the animals. Breakfast was great and there is so much to do in the area (Railroad museum, Strasburg Railroad, Choo Choo barn, Cherry Crest Adventure Farm). We had a blast and would recommend staying here. read more

A great place to visit with the kids --great experience with the animals, a big farm breakfast and friendly and responsive hosts!

Didn't stay as overnight guests but did the farm tour.. We took 2 of our grandchildren (7 and 5 yrs old) to Verdant View for the tour. They really enjoyed it and the staff couldn't have been friendlier and more patient with everyone's questions. The kids loved it. They got to bottle feed calves, milk a cow and hold chickens and baby goats. The tour ended with a short wagon ride. We all loved that the Strasburg Railroad runs through the property and all the kids on the wagon ride were excited to see one of the trains roll through. It's funny that so many of the reviews mention Scooby (nice dog). Very much the border collie :-) While I can't speak to the sleeping accommodations on the farm, I can definitely recommend the tour. read more

We stayed in rooms 8 and 9 of the little house in September 2018. Our stay was like a dream. The farm folks including Elisa, Patrick, Don, and Lydia were very nice and helpful. The clean and cozy house, the open fields, the morning chores in the farm, the delicious breakfast, the wonderful hosts, the closeness to many area attractions,.., all added up to a remarkable experience that we would never forget. Our children had great fun with the farm animals---they liked the two baby goats (Cappuccino and Marshmellow) most. Also, whenever we went to the farmhouse, the loyal farm dog Scooby came out wagging his tail even when it was raining. We brought our dog here and he liked wondering among the vast fields very much! The bed and breakfast is very reasonably priced. We hope to be back there in near future. read more

KITTIES GALORE, AND SO MUCH MORE :) My family [Husband + 3 kids 9,5 & 4] & I had a FABULOUS time here on our vacation to Lancaster in November 2010. Ginny is amazing. She made our family feel right at home. We signed up for the Wagon Ride & Farm Tour plus Full Farm Breakfast. Upon arriving we were greeted by one of the farms MANY cats/kittens while we waited around for the tour to start the kids played in the yard and took in the beautiful views all around The Farm Tour Started with some history and cow milking where we all got to help in the process learning how to do it by hand & then watching the machinery hookup and the milk flow through the pipes to the tank. The big cows walked close enough upon completion of their milking cycle to lick my daughters face and sniff at the random kitty here and there. We also got to bottle-feed baby calves which was so much fun as well as bring dried corn out to the goats and ornery donkey which had to have its corn thrown to it. Scooby the pup joined us on all of our excursions stealing corn whenever he could from the animals and gnawing away at them like a favorite treat. The Family-Style Full Farm Breakfast After our "chores" were completed we were invited into their home where they were having their full farm breakfast. That day happened to be special because it was also a birthday of one of the Matriarchs of the family and several family members were there to join in the breakfast as well as the guests staying with them. The food was quite tasty and was farm to table fresh with homemade jams, everything was delicious. They were so welcoming you felt part of the family. After Breakfast As breakfast wound down we were invited to enjoy the property...let the kids blow off some energy on the hammocks, run around and play with the kittens, cats and pup & see the other animals like the rabbits... Wagon Ride The wagon ride was quite fun and it was rather cool to learn that they had built/designed this vehicle to their own specifications. Ginny was so knowledgeable on all things farming it was a pleasure to sit with her and "pick-her-brain." She is very personable and wonderfully patient with the kids answering their questions no matter how "silly" they may have been. Even Scooby who had never been on the wagon ride before decided today was the day he was coming along for the ride. Entire experience was delightful and we will definitely return, I HOPE SOON!!! Maybe even stay at the farm this time :). BTW for everything that we did it was VERY AFFORDABLE and wonderful time for the kids!!! Would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Great tour! As we were leaving PA, we were admi the beautiful lushes farms on the road, and decided to spend some time in a farm with our little one. We googled a farm that does tours and it led us to Verdant View farms. Which turns out is also a bed and breakfast! The tour was a great experience for us city kids. My baby was 9 months at the time and she was probably the most impressed one, she was so excited to see all the animals upclose especially the cow. Days after she would look at her animal toys and get excited when we'd pull out the cow or even a black and white dog that looks like Scooby. We fell in love with that dog - so friendly and playful. As we waited for the tour to begin scooby came by to play catch with us. It's really a great tour I'm so glad we made that impromptu stop read more

If you love animals, and like to stay local, I would totally recommend a fall visit to Chester and Lancaster Counties! I spent my birthday outing with my family yesterday at Verdant View Farm in Paradise Pennsylvania where we hung out with the farm animals. I cannot recommend Verdant View Farm enough. Our group of five was accompanied by a nice couple so there were 7 of us altogether. Our guide was a young very friendly recent Ursinus graduate who was fantastic. Her love of animals really came through. We got to into the chicken coop and gather fresh eggs, pick fresh clever and feed it to the bunnies while we petted them, milk two cows (not as easy as it looks), bottle feed the calves (hilarious!), hang out in the goat pen feeding dried corn to the goats, see tobacco hanging to dry in the small barn, go up in the loft of the large barn where we smelled the fresh hay bales stored 50 feet high, pet a multitude of friendly outdoor cats, and play fetch with the farm's border collie,"Scooby". This is a real farm experience...nothing touristy about it!! Highly recommend!! read more

This review is for the farm tour- it was a windy partial spring day when we signed up for a tour here. We were the only ones there, which was great! Ms. Megan was super helpful and really took the time to explain and listen to my daughter. She took her around to see the cows and chickens. She fed the chickens and many kittens there, she milked a cow and fed the babies a bottle! My daughter won't forget this real, authentic farm. She was talking about it the rest of the day.... constantly! read more

My husband and I took our two boys (ages 8, 11) here for the farm tour which lasted approx 1.5hrs. Our guide was great! Very pleasant and knowledgeable. We were able to hold a hen before collecting its eggs, hold a baby chick, feed a goat, feed a calf a bottle and milk a cow! The farm dog, Scooby, helped to lead the tour around the grounds:) We had a great time and I'm so glad we drove 1.5hrs to do this! read more

Oh wow! This turned out to be WAY more awesome than I had anticipated. To start with, it was our anniversary. So given a choice between a romantic weekend get away in Middleburg, VA Wine Country...OR a weekend staying at a working farm, milking cows and other ridiculousness, you have to know my husband and I to understand that it was a no-brainer. Besides "romantic wine tasting"? That's just a normal Thursday night for us. So my husband did a little research and found Verdant View Farms. They have two houses - the main house (which was taken over by a Girl Scout Troop that weekend), or the Little White Cottage, which has 3 rooms. We opted for the Little White Cottage (Room 6), and had a marvelous time. The only downside to staying in the cottage is that it's very close to the road, so during the day, when cars and trucks are going by, it can get really loud (and ruin the whole "country getaway" ambiance). HOWEVER, the benefits of staying at the cottage outweigh the only negative. To start with, although you will hear street traffic (and it's not that bad - it's not like DC or NY. It's like a car every 5 minutes), you will ALSO get to hear the awesome clip-clap-clip-clap of the Amish horse and buggies driving past (yes and there are a *ton* of them). Also, our room overlooked a beautiful old oak tree and a pond with swams swimming. Incredibly picturesque! And mostly, it's away from the main house, which is lovely - but *very* close to the cows...and the cow manure smell. Ha! So the deal here is that at 7am or at 4pm you can "help" with the farm chores. And by "help", I mean, stand around while one of the staff explains stuff to you, while you look on cluelessly. Don't worry, you don't actually have to DO anything...you're mostly following the staff around and going "oooh...that's a chicken!" Although it's early, I highly recommend the 7am choring. To start with, the staff have been up for hours, so they are having a great time laughing at the lazy city folk (it's OK, I'm a lazy city folk and perfectly OK with that). Also, you get to see the sunrise, which is super amazing. We "milked" a cow. And by "milked", I mean we touched a cow udder and the cow started self-milking. I swear, the damned thing would just start squirting milk. If I wasn't convinced that the cows were trying to eat me, I would totally have found it hilarious and charming. We also got to cuddle baby bunnies (awww), and baby kittens (there are a billion of them and they are all so adorable and cuddlesome), and bottle fed a baby calf (they can suck down some milk!!!), and played with the baby goats (which my husband totally fell in love with). After the 7am chores, we headed to the kitchen, got some coffee, and sat on the main porch watching the sun finish rising while waiting for breakfast. It was remarkably relaxing and lovely. Breakfast was served at 8:30 and OMG it was so good! Practically everything was grown/made on the farm, so it was super fresh! We started off with homemade apple sauce with yogurt, then we had homemade beef sausage (so flavorful and meaty!), and warm cranberry pumpkin muffins, and then a swiss chard & kale frittata (the swiss chard and kale was grown in the garden out back...the eggs were gathered from the hens). We also had hard boiled eggs that were so fresh (3 of which we collected when we were doing "chores") that you can't peel the egg shells...you cut it open with a knife and eat it with a spoon. The shells are so thin that they don't peel easily! WHAT WHAT??? And OMG...my ultimate favorite - the pumpkin raisin bread French toast with peach jam stuffing...uuugh...I ate so much! There was also black cherry yogurt, plain yogurt, jam, and bread. It was so much food! Oh - and we were served raw milk...from the cows that were just milked this morning. So if we end up dying or turn into hipsters, we'll all know why. HA! After breakfast, we went on a wagon ride that explored the farm. Seriously, I learned more about farms than I ever thought I would in my lifetime. I love to joke about farms and "city life" - but seriously, it was amazing. Everyone here was wonderful and sweet and nice and so willing to talk to you. It was just a great time. read more

This was our (me, wife, two kids) first trip to Strasburg and we were floored! Verdant View was a great place to stay for our first time. Everyone was super friendly and informative. The farm tour was a ton of fun and it sparked the kids' interest in farming and barnyard animals. They loved the goats the most but the dog, Scooby, and one of the kitties came in at a close second. Nice accommodations and very tasty breakfast in the morning as well. Looking forward to seeing how the place looks after the renovations are done. Definitely recommend! read more

The first time I found this place I had emailed them for more info. and some how my email got lost and I got no response. I was a little leery and wondered if the place was legit. I revisited their website many months later and found they had a prepay site to confirm tours and times. since I hadn't found many other reviews regarding just their tours, I was still a little doubting. but i confirmed my ticket and i went. and had a great time! it was legit and pretty well booked. the tour was at a relaxed pace. you check in at the silo with the OPEN and Entrance signs. Ample parking for all. And pretty easy to find. We went to check out the goats. which were super friendly and well behaved. lots of kiddos on the tour i attended. of course all the visitors were super friendly. i think most people were on vacation. The tour guide was super nice, personable and laid back. the kids were sort of allowed to run amuck but with some guidance. i think they tour is really catered towards the kids with a few activities that are super exciting for them while the adults typically stood back and watched. but seriously if you are into farms/tours or animals, fun will be had by all. things we did (in no particular order): visited with the goats unclose and personal. went into the chicken coup in which all the kids and some adults tried their hand at catching a fowl. we went into the barn for some farm info. we went into the cow 'maternity ward'. took a tractor / trailer drive up the farm. saw the steam engine run right through the farm. each got a chance to milk a cow. i felt like this was a really neat experience! esp for kids. most people were visiting from out of town and doing the whole amish/farm experience. but i think this is still great fun for locals too. the price was pretty reasonable. it's right around the corner from the Red Caboose Motel. Just a hop over from Strasburg. Definitely a must see/do. and i also heard they had a BnB there as well! Moo-yeah! ;o) read more

I was inspired to visit Verdant Farm after re-reading Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma. I wanted to get a better understanding of where my food comes from and the process of family farming. To that end, my stay at Verdant Farm did not disappoint. One of my special requests was that I wanted to kill a live chicken - cut, pluck, and gut. While this not something the Farm typically does for guests, they were more than obliging to assist me in meeting this request. They provided me directions on where and which type of chicken to buy from a local market. John-Paul, an apprentice at the Farm, was beyond helpful in guiding me through the process. I came away from my visit with exactly what I wanted: a little bit more respect for the animals that I eat and gratitude towards Mother Nature for providing it. If you are looking for the same, I highly recommend visiting this family farm. read more

What a pleasant way to kick off our five-day Lancaster vacation. Elisa is a friendly host and guide at her family's family-friendly working farm and inn (just down the road from Strasburg Railroad and Choo-Choo Barn). Arriving at 2:30 pm was perfectly lucky timing for the 3:00 farm tour, included with your overnight stay. Don't miss the tour. Scooby the dog cheerfully joins you all over the farm, from feeding goats and chickens, to riding the tractor-pulled wagon, to milking cows. Also included with your stay is a home cooked, farm-to-table breakfast, featuring raw milk from Verdant's own herd. Thx to Amy for finding and booking here! (stayed 8/7/13) read more

Always fun, always a great time. First came here in Oct 2010 and again in May 2015. We love taking the tour on the wagon-going through the corn stalks-milking the cows-the kids looked for freshly laid eggs in the chicken coop-played with the super friendly barn dog Scooby-fed the goats-pet the cats-fed the small calves. The owners are very hospitable. Look forward to going there again. It's very relaxing. read more

The hosts and staff were very kind and hospitable. Elissa and Patrick are wonderful people with a great source of information about farming and the boroughs. We had a wonderful time doing sing a longs on the porch with Patrick and his guitar. The breakfast was exquisite! We enjoyed being in their company and their beautiful baby Marcus. The animals are well taken care of friendly and happy. The view was to die for during sunset. It's in a convenient location near some restaurants and things to do. The rooms were clean and cozy. It's located right in front of the historic strasburg train. You can hear the beautiful sound of the old whistle from the Strasburg train at 11 AM. The B&B gives you the opportunity to learn about how to care for the animals and right after there's a full breakfast. Perfect example of a bed and breakfast with pristine service. We'll definitely be visiting again! read more

My husband and I attended the ice cream workshop and the tour and really enjoyed both. We saw twin calves four hours old and guests could bottle feed the older calves. The ice cream was delicious and we really learned a lot too ! The staff were very friendly and informative. We highly recommend the farm for anyone of any age. read more

We visited the farm with three adults and four kids. The price was steep at $16 per person. They even charged for the 2, 3, & 4 yr olds who were not engaged. The tour was ok It was enjoyable for the older kids and adults who listened intently and participated. The younger kids I feel should have been free like other local farms. They are just to young to understand and listen. To be fair the little ones did tlike the cows and chickens. The older kids and adults enojoyed it and it was worth the money. I would say kids younger than 6 would be disengaged and it is NOT worth it to pay $16pp . I would hope verdnat view revises the pricing policy read more

I love this place so much! Stayed 1 night at the B&B and regret not staying longer. My husband, son (4) and myself had the best time here. The grounds and room were beautiful, welcoming and cozy... you felt like you were home. The grounds are breathtaking. The rooms very clean and despite being on a farm, smelled really good. The home is decorated very nicely for the season and the staff very welcoming. Check in and out was as easy as pie.. whoopie pie! (Yum) the morning chores are sooo much fun! We did the apprentice tour as well. Grace was our guide for the chores and tour and she was such a pleasure. She's such a knowledgeable and kind young woman who really loves her job and the animals she helps care for. She allowed us to be very involved in the care of the animals and would always engage my son and include him in everything. The animals are also very well kept and really cared for by everyone on the farm. Breakfast made by Lydia was very special also. It was nice sitting down with everyone from the farm and sharing a meal together. We learned a lot about each other over a delicious meal. Everything farm fresh and homemade... even the grape juice! We ALL had the BEST day and cannot wait to come back!! Thank you Elisa, Grace, Lydia and everyone else from verdant farm! :) read more

We had a wonderful time, two parents and a very urbane four year old. We stayed in Room 7 of the little white house and it was clean and charming. The breakfasts were deliciously quirky and our conversations were pretty interesting. The kitchen in the white house is modern and more than fancy enough for light meals or sitting down to eat take out. The staff was helpful and the animals delightful. You might want to get your kids on an early morning schedule if you really want to partake of the full farm experience. Scooby has some attention issues -- he really needs to give that little kid goat some space, he was kind of scaring us a little. Bonus points for the bunny pen and surprisingly robust wifi. And please don't run the jacuzzi tub after 10... you could hear and feel those things through the whole house! read more

I just can't say enough good things about this farm and the family that runs it. If you want to bring your family out to experience life on the farm this is the spot. The family that runs the farm couldn't be nicer, and I want to give a personal thank you to Don, Eldon and Tammy for being such gracious hosts. The accommodations were clean and quaint, the breakfast was amazing (you eat with the family) and the conversation was very interesting (make sure to ask Don how many countries he has visited). As to the farm and the animals, my twin 4 year olds just couldn't get enough - we milked cows, we got to feed calves, there are rabbits, chickens, cats, goats and a super cool barn dog named Scooby (make sure to play fetch with him). My only regret is that we didn't stay longer and I will most certainly come back. Thanks for a great time and great hospitality!! read more
