Violette Hill Hay Farm — Attraction in Mount Dora

I went here with my daughter 10/12 after seeing the event advertised on a website for fall events and purchased tickets Friday with no issue. Never saw the Google site. Drove out almost an hour to attend and came to find nothing set up or as advertised outside. Went inside and was told they placed the farm “closed” on Google due to the storm and after telling them I was a bit confused because that was not communicated on their site or anywhere else and how I was still able to get tickets the day before, then it was switched to the event would be held inside. It looked nothing like what was stated on the website. No pony. No petting zoo. Nothing besides some photo setup inside that were lack luster. We asked about our ticket since it was dated for 10/12 and was told by a woman to come back another day since the tickets are good all month then she walked away. No refund offered. No care was given about the lack of communication on their end and our inconvenience for driving out. Not even a SORRY. Horrible experience. Multiple other cars left due to the same misinformation and no one we saw offered a refund. I instead went to another farm 20 minutes away (Amber Brooke’s) and had a great time.

Great farm! Not too far out either for us from Winter Park. The price is really good for a full fall festival experience,10-12 dollars per person.

We also got some delicious fresh smoked barbecue and fresh squeezed lemonade (They have lots of flavors like guava mango strawberry blueberry etc). There was also a bake sale and knitted items...

Caring for our community! Emily and Dawn are truly gems in our community, through bringing farm life to real life. Offering homeschool groups, school groups, and hosting classes to all, children (and adults!) have an opportunity to learn about farm life. During our recent visit, we were blessed with learning about cows, goats, and rabbits - my personal fav by far was the cows. Emily answered a variety of ongoing questions from myself, and our group, along with letting us have petting time with the cows (same for the rabbits)! I was really impressed by how clean the facilities were - if you have a farm, you would understand how easily it can get dirty in animal pens. But moreso over everything, their love for their animals - how they speak about them and share their passion for their work truly shines. ...
