I had the pleasure of visiting Pond Hill Farm not too long ago and I could not have been more impressed, pleased or excited about this adventure. It’s a beautifully quaint and tranquil ’off the beaten path’ absolute gem! It’s almost like being transported into a different time where simplicity and relaxation take over and a cell phone isn’t even a passing thought. The owners have cultivated an atmosphere of welcoming everyone into not just their business but to also to share in this wonderful part of their life that they have created. They have endless acres of farmland, greenhouses, a breathtaking landscape, sectioned areas to eat outside and enjoy the incredible view, a huge old barn that houses wood available for sale as well as a few animals (I’m pretty sure those are keepers though), popular games that have been adapted to farm life by repurposing farm equipment and very creatively using gourds. The highlight of this treasure in the woods is the store/restaurant/bar which mimics the old wooden barn sitting right next to it.
While the atmosphere at Pond Hill Farm is nothing short of stellar, the wine they produce and sell rivals even the finest Italian or French wines that can be found. It’s pure magic in a bottle that should be purchased by the dozens simply put. Pond Hill has truly perfected the art of wine making. They also offer coffee, jams, linen kitchen towels, hoodies and t-shirts with the Pond Hill Farm logo on them plus so many other creative, cute and useful items for sale. Also offered is rustic and relaxing dining with an array of delicious foods made fresh in an immaculate kitchen that is situated between the indoor and outdoor eating spaces so it’s on display if you like to see what’s happening. The staff they have are amazing as well. They are helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely happy to be there. The owners are even right in the mix shoulder to shoulder with their employees doing whatever job needs to be done. How refreshing is that?!Another important attraction is their parking, it’s ample and easily accessible and only a short distance to the main area. A quality they possess that cannot be seen is transparency, Pond Hill Farm hides nothing from its patrons, literally you can see everything. I love this place!
