Adams Farm's horse drawn sleigh rides take visitors on a magical journey up the mountain and through the snowy sugar grove to the log cabin in the woods. At the cabin, visitors enjoy a warm up by the fire, a cup of hot chocolate, and tunes on the antique player piano. The drivers narrate the whole trip with interesting and humorous stories about farm life, the draft horses, the maple sugar grove, and Vermont life in general.
