Vermont Reindeer Farm

I rarely write reviews but I wanted to share the wonderful experience I had here. Pauline and John are super sweet owners, so knowledgeable about their reindeer, and they provided a really unique and fun experience! I enjoyed learning about the reindeer and being able to feed, pet, and take pictures with them! They provided homemade apple cider and cookies afterwards that were delicious! They also had a cute shop with lots of homemade goodies and items from other local businesses. Such an amazing experience, I will be back!! 😊

ps - I visited after a huge rainstorm hit the area and my car got stuck in deep mud on the way. John was so kind to give me a tow out of the mud - thank you!!

We went to see the reindeer a few days before Christmas and left with a greater understanding of the work that this lovely family does on the farm. The reindeer are fantastic animals and well loved and cared for, but they aren't they only ones. There are rescue animals of all sizes also living on the farm. My kiddos loved the horses, cows, chickens, ducks, peacocks, and donkey the most. Roasted marshmallows, hot apple cider and cookies were a welcome addition to our visit. Thank you for having us!

The weather let us down a bit as it was raining and muddy everywhere, but the owners, nonetheless, tried their best to make our group feel welcomed and entertained. Great lessons on reindeers and cookies/hot chocolate was a nice touch.

The Vermont reindeer farm experience was Lovely! Run by kind knowledgeable people and filled with charming animals. I feel fortunate to have been up close to an animal I wouldn’t normally encounter. We will be back next season!

A family that loves reindeer as much as they love sharing their love for reindeer with others! Cute place and lots of homemade goodies for sale as well.

We had an incredible time meeting the reindeer, highland cows, donkeys and goats! The staff were awesome too! Would highly recommend this to anyone!

We attended the Fall Festival Event as a family of 5. My kids had a blast. They loved the barrel train ride, face painting, candy cane walk, animals, and wagon ride. I may have had way too much amazing hot maple apple cider. Lol We can't wait to go back again next year. ❤❤

The reindeer farm is amazing and Pauline and John are so friendly and informative! It’s truly an unforgettable experience! Great for families with young kids! Hot chocolate and little gift shop! They also have a rescue barn of animals besides the reindeer!! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

This was the cutest thing we got to do with our six year old in a while. She loved every minute of it. Learning about the animals on the farm and getting to take pictures with David, Prancer, and all the others. She was so excited to learn about reindeer and interact with Santa’s helpers. And everyone was just so sweet to her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, even with a scheduling/technological flub.

We had a wonderful visit. There is something so magical about being in the presence of reindeer. The kids were delighted with the experience as were we as adults.

We were fortunate enough to get in after a few extra openings were made just before Christmas. We loaded the kids in the car and drove 4 hours to the farm.

Please be mindful to load your maps before going as there is no cell reception in the area . Also prepare to go off roading as many roads were gravel and muddy leading to the farm. It had just trained the day before and was super windy and frigid the day we went.

I would love to go back and experience this in the snow for that extra magical feel!

The hosts were just wonderful and very pleasant to talk to. They were very knowledgable and invested in their work. You can tell the animals are well care for and that this is a labor of love for the people running the farm.

Please be kind and on time to make the most out of the experience for everyone attending.

You can see the effort involved in making this what it is for the kids and adults attending. People who came late during our time slots were rude and threw things out of whack a bit for groups who had shown up on time. It added extra stress and confusion for groups who did make it on time with the late comers bumbling around in the opposite direction from the main groups who were following the plan that was laid out at the beginning of the visit. I couldn't help but feel bad for the people working there seeing how some late comers were treating them a well.

To the wonderful people working there.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts. It was truly a memorable experience that this family won't forget!

Amazing experience. Kids and I had an absolute blast. Absolutely recommend. Santa was amazing. They loved making cookies and roasting marshmallows at the fire to make s'mores. The reindeer were absolutely beautiful.

What a cool and amazing experience. My wife and I made the trip out to Smugglers Notch and reached out the Pauline to see if we could get a tour, even though the farm was closed for the season. Pauline made an exception for us and was the sweetest person. The multigenerational family farm was well kept and the animals are clearly well cared for. I've never seen an actual reindeer before, they were very friendly and fascinating. Obviously we made our trip to the farm to see them but were also met with an unexpected surprise of seeing her various other animals. We got to pet deer, donkeys, and see a all sorts of chickens, rabbits, ducks, goats, funky grouse, and peacocks. The farm has different sections that are themed out and a lot to see and experience. Pauline was clearly very knowledgeable and had a hilarious sense of humor. She's someone you could totally hang out with and was a comforting host. She hooked us up with homemade cider which warmed us up. She also sells some homemade care products and maple syrup. I'm fortunate we took the trip over, this was an experience for the books and the highlight of our trip, I highly recommend checking this farm out and thank you again to Pauline!

It was very pleasant! My favorite part was the campfire in the snow! The rain deer was beautiful and well cared for! It was well organized, and I was so impressed. Most of all my son had so much fun! It was so cold so we did not stay long but it was so fun! Thank u💜💯

Absolutely awesome experience! Pauline was so kind and passionate about her farm. We learned so much about reindeer! Keep up the great work....thank you so much!

We met real live reindeer and fed them graham crackers! The staff is wonderful and very willing to share their knowledge and love of the animals. Time and money well spent!

What a great place. We had a blast just learning about the Reindeers then we had another blast when we interacted with them. They are such beautiful animals. Thank you for our fun family time!!!

The highlight of our trip! We were so disappointed when our original trip was cancelled because of the Southwest meltdown. Pauline was so kind to accommodate us to reschedule our visit. It was absolutely worth the drive! It's hard to find things that my teenagers both enjoy and our entire family truly loved this. Pauline and John were so welcoming and informative. It felt like we were visiting family. Freshly baked gingerbread cookies and apple cider were a real treat. The gift shop featured handmade and local products (including maple syrup made on the farm). Be prepared for cash and Venmo only. Thank you Pauline and John! We appreciated the opportunity to spend time with you both. :-)

The experience at the Vermont Reindeer Farm was great!! I went with my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. We had a great time learning about Reindeer. Loved getting to see the other animals. The hot Chocolate was good. My daughter-in-law loved the gingerbread cookies. Thank you for the great experience! We will visit again.

We had a great and informative visit. The kids and adults had a blast hanging out with and learning about the animals. Our hosts were knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a wonderful guided snowshoe as well. Highly recommend.

We came all the way from Florida specifically to attend their fall festival. It was a fantastic time and everyone was just as sweet as could be. We will definitely be back again!
