I have to agree that the service can be slow sometimes, but those folks treat you like royalty!!! A very unique experience in this day, but worth it in my mind. A whole family running their place with integrity, a mind on quality, not quantity, an eye on their impact on the environment and a true dedication to each other is a truly rare gem.
Go there knowing it may be a long while, enjoy the scenery in the barn and outside, be patient, an enjoy what may be the best, most unique, and friendly dining experience you can find. I have a very minimal supply of patience, but I found plenty to look at and good friends to converse with while I waited.

MC07 is right on the money with this review.
JimD's "It's not your typical "breakfast joint" but more of an "outing" or "experience." is perfect.
The boss and I went here for the first time yesterday. The place is alot of fun and the food was wonderful. Samantha, "Sam", took the time to actually sit with us and go over the choices for pancakes and tell us about how they run their business. Almost everything you eat their is made from products produced right there at the farm. Fresh eggs, herb garden, fresh milk and their own maple syrup. Take the time to go to go thank the chickens after breakfast and take home a dozen fresh eggs for only a couple of bucks. Very cool.
This is not fast food in any way. Sam told us on weekends the wait for a table can be an hour, and due to the fact that none of the food is "pre-prepared" cooking time may be up to 45 mins.
You should know that the food is plentiful and served family style. They told us they have 4 dishwashers, and they all have "Two Legs,Two Arms and a Name".
They use paper plates and plastic silverware, but it dosen't distract from the wonderful "feel" the place has.
Take the time to read the NH Magazine article linked in the #1 post in this thread. Pick a nice sunny weekday morning, when your not in a hurry.. you'll love it.
PS.. they do take reservations for "groups".
