Beans & Greens Farm — Attraction in Gilford

What a cool spot Notch Biergarten by Beans & Greens in Gilford, NH is. I was in the area to visit the rents & was looking for something that both my Mom & Dad would enjoy as well for brunch. It was Sunday at noon when we arrived & they had been open for a outside brunch buffet which my parents indulged in while I checked out the tap list. The bartender had Bloody Mary's going which my Mom was happy about & my Dad who is in his early 70's grabbed the KOLSCH since he's a light beer guy now. I was really impressed by this place, definitely a fun hidden gem for sure & I'm happy I finally made my way here. They had a good amount of draft lines here & I was able to find two Notch Brewing beers I hadn't had & a guest tap, let's get to it. 🍻🔥☘☘

I started off with a pint of the FRENCH DISKO Pilsner, a perfect light first beer to have just after noontime. My second pint was the WHO LOVES THE SUN Blonde Ale which was delicious & crisp. Like reds, I've slowly started to get a affinity for blondes (that's what she said) & this was a great example of the style. For my last pour I scooped a guest pint of the STONE BUENAVEZA SALT & LIME LAGER, the perfect finisher for the trip & a excellent Mexican lager especially with a lime. The winner here was that FRENCH DISKO, I could have had a handful of those on this hot day for sure. 🍻🍺💪🔥☘

The seating options here are mainly just picnic tables and a small area with a table & chairs. The service was really good & it was cool that they had some mixed drinks like Bloody Mary's & more for people who aren't beer fans. Live music began around 1PM I believe which was a nice touch to add to the already chill atmosphere. Definitely a hidden gem in the Lakes Region area, I'm glad I got around to checking it out. Cheers! 🍻🔥☘✌♥️🍺

$52.88 for two adults for the Fun on The Farm. It is supposed to include a 2:00PM Hayride, Barnyard Animals, Corn Maze, and other fun activities. Barnyard Animals included 2 pigs, 2 ducks, 2 goats, and 1 cow that looked sick and seemed to act like it was eating for the first time in days.

Other 'fun activities' were actually all for little children, which is entirely fine and expected for such a place.

However, we figured we would grab lunch. Lunch buffet? $22.00 per person and the 'buffet' were only two hot dish options and some random sides on a tiny table.

Decided to forego lunch and went over to the Corn Maze, something my mother was incredibly excited about. The rules said you had to wait for Lyn(?) to scan your QR Code at the front of the line. No Lyn, no worker there at all. We waited there for 10-15 minutes. And we weren't about to go into a Corn Maze when no one knew we were in it.

After that experience, we decided to leave by 1:00 and didn't want to sit around waiting for what we expected to be as memorable Hayride.

Honestly, I wish I could get my money back. Would give it less than one star if I could. This was incredibly disappointing and an...

Very quaint farm. Few animals but my daughter loved being able to feed and pet the bull and 2 goats. Hay ride was ok..Jill the lady that drove tractor was very nice ..and the tractor was cool ...just not much of a scenery...quick ride around corn maze. Zip line and big bouncy thing fun for kids...even tiny rides for smaller ones. Beer garden nice size, good selections, live music, with plenty of space heaters but too many of them out of propane by 2 pm. Wood fired pizza looked good I did not get a chance to try it though. Cute store with prices not too bad. I was surprised I was expected to tip the person at the register... for just paying? Slightly disappointed at cider donuts that are supposedly made there. They did not seem too fresh and just ok ( admittedly I got there in the afternoon when things were winding down so maybe I did not get a fresh batch). Front of the property has a cute koi pond. Not sure I would pay $25 a person for corn maze and hay ride not worth $10 a person. Overall good pleasant experience though and I would definitely...
