"The people working at the cafe have always been kind and calm. As a customer, I think it encourages customers to equally be calm and enjoy the beautiful farm environment. In my many visits, I would say even the customers seem to relax when here. My food review is motivated by the hash browns. The cafe serves a golden brown square of stringed potatoes 🥔 in two triangles, which offers a soft bite. Great for anyone with dental issues perhaps and needs to eat gently. Personally, I ordered mine extra extra crispy, and it’s delicious. The center still remained soft, nice taste of potatoes contrasted with the initial bite of crispy lightly salt flaked crust."

"This was such a cool place that we stumbled across when we were passing through town. It’s a beautiful spot and the food was delicious! We ate outside while we watched the goats play. There’s a large nature preserve right behind the farm and we went for a nice hike after breakfast. This place is definitely worth a visit!"

"The property itself is worth the visit. The food is better than average but not mind blowing. Glad it wasn't busy!!"

"Love this addition to an already special place. The food is phenomenal, both lunch and dinner. The breakfast sandwich was amazing. It’s usually bustling, but wait times aren’t horrible. There is one woman in particular who works the counter who is the pinnacle of professionalism and so cool under pressure when it’s busy. If all the staff are like her, you will always have an incredible experience here."
