We visited Buck Hill Farm at the recommendation of our Airbnb host while we were staying in the area for the weekend & what a surprise it was! The exterior is misleading & easy to pass by if you're not in the know - don't let it fool you! Breakfast is only served on weekends between 8 AM & 1 PM & we just happened to be there. Service was extra warm & welcoming - we had our pup with us & it was a not so great weekend weather wise & while we offered to order & sit outside at a table as to not disrupt other diners, they managed to put us in their back room so no one had to eat out in the cold (Pepper can't write her own review, but she says thank you, two paws up!)
While the menu is small, one item is better than the next & you can't go wrong no matter what you choose! Prices are reasonable for everything you get & in today's economy, it's a rare find! The apple pancakes were to die for & honestly, the biggest pancakes I've ever seen! Fresh biscuits with maple butter (YUM!) Don't pass up on the extra creamy & delicious chocolate milk! Seriously - can I get an IV drip of that? This place is the embodiment of farm to table (obviously). Zero frills, but full authenticity of a working farm. Wonderful place & wonderful people.
They have lots of their goods for sale too, so you can take Buck Hill Farm home with you! We bought their delicious bourbon maple syrup, fresh herbal tea, hot sauce, & took some ribs back to the house to grill for Father's Day! Plenty of full & happy bellies even after leaving the farm.
After breakfast, swing by the chicken coop & thank the ladies for the delicious eggs! LOL We hope to visit again next time we are...
Read moreGood breakfast and vibes. I especially love the buckwheat pancakes (they are huge and delicious)! However, the food is slow to come out, hence the minus one star. The second time I came here it was especially slow — it took over 30 minutes for our very simple order to come out. It was just pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast, sausage, stewed tomatoes (which is premade) — which should take at most 10 min. And the tables next to us, which were seated after, got their orders in 10 minutes. I think our waitress forgot our order and it was only put on the line when we reminded them after 20 minutes of waiting. The first time I came here, I had a great experience, though. Their baked goods are all fresh and homemade (and they vary by day). Try the maple walnut muffin if it’s there—one of the best muffins I’ve had. Overall I would recommend for a leisurely weekend breakfast in a beautiful spot with good atmosphere. The dining room is always bustling....
Read moreThis is the definition of farm-to-table. Most of the items offered at their weekend breakfast didn't travel miles and miles to get to the table. Instead, mere yards were covered to get it there. Okay, the meats were processed offsite but you get the point. There's much more to Buck Hill Farm than breakfast. Think entrepreneurial farm...maple syrup, fresh eggs, homemade ice cream, milk, elderberry elixir(?). I got to Buck Hill about 15 minutes after they opened on a Saturday. The place was already packed. It seems to be a hub for the community because it fosters a sense of community. There's something honest and wholesome about it. Oh yeah, the food. Simple menu of eggs, toast, bacon, sausage, red flannel hash (beets and potatoes), coffee, etc. Everything I've tried has been cooked with care. You can't ask for anything more. This is a "great good place." If you're in the area, make time to come over...have breakfast and take a tour...
