Winter at Adams Farm

Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides since 1980

"#1 Sleigh Ride in Vermont"

- by Vermont Chamber of Commerce and Vermont Magazine

Sleigh Rides

sleigh ride The Farm's five Belgian draft horses and two Percheron draft horses pull the sleighs through the 100 acre hillside farm. Through maple and pine groves, across an open meadow to take in the views, then to a log cabin in the woods to warm up by the wood fires, sip a steaming cup of hot chocolate and sing to the tunes of an ol' player piano. Named "the best sleigh ride in New England." If a more intimate setting is on tap try our Romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride for two. Try something completely different and visit us for our Wednesday Fudge Fondue Night Sleigh Ride. Try some of the Adams family’s traditional fondue made with homemade fudge. Enjoy a cup of mulled cider while dipping an assortment of fresh fruits and baked goods into a warm fondue pot filled with melted homemade fudge. Reservations required for all sleigh rides. Call today at 802-464-3762. Rates & Schedule

Winter Bonfire Parties

Our summer bonfire parties are so much fun we thought we'd offer a winter version. Beginning at 5:30 pm, enjoy hot dog and marshmallow roasting and Adams Farm's homemade chocolate fudge s'mores. We are conveniently located next to the River Valley Market and the Moover Stop at Higley Hill Road. Included in the price for the party is admission to the Indoor Livestock Barn (see below) which will be open evenings to coincide with our Winter Bonfire Parties. Our Farm Store will be open throughout the event. Stop by and see where all the fun is and take home a memorable Vermont farm experience. Rates & Schedule
