HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The petting zoo is geared for childen.  The animals are not behind cages giving children an up close experience with farm animals. All the farm animals are gentle enough to be held and fed by hand. The barn is full with farm animals to be hugged and fed.
Hillcrest's children's playground is definitely popular with a giant 50 foot slide, smaller slides for little children, a great zip line. On your way to the Farmhouse Museum, ask to see the Moonshine Museum with several working stills.

Ride the Time Machine back in time to the early 1900's Not for the faint of heart, Hillcrest's Time Twister will transport you from present day life into the primitive 10 room Farmhouse Museum depicting life before electricity and other modern conveniences. You'll see wringer washers in the wash room, and country ham in the smokehouse.
The Moonshine Museum features numerous working stills,from fully copper to groundhogs. Feel the effects of the stout brew as you exit the Time Twister and back to present day 2007.

Fried pies, homemade fudge,apple fritters, apple cider doughnuts, homemade ice cream and caramel apples.

We're completely 'hands on' in the calf barn. You can feed cabbage to the baby calves and enjoy watching them suck good Cagle's Milk from a bottle. They love the attention they get from visitors. And after the hayride, you can stop to feed the goats -- and we have lots of them to feed!
