Hilltop Farm - Suffield, Connecticut

Molly S.

My husband and I knew when we got engaged that we wanted to get married at Hilltop Farm, and I am so grateful that they had the weekend we wanted available. I have been with my husband for eleven years, and we met when we were in high school. I have always loved black and white film photography, and he would often drive me to Hilltop Farm to take photos (before the new, beautiful renovations). I have always loved this space and we were speechless with how beautiful it was on the inside when we first toured it after so many years. We did a lot of our wedding DIY, relying heavily on the beauty of the barn and the natural light. We received so many compliments from guests on the space, and everyone really enjoyed walking around to the creamery for dessert. The getting ready room was the perfect, natural light filled setting for us girls to do our hair and makeup. It also gave us a nice separation space from the main event space to hide pre-ceremony. The landscape of Hilltop Farm is stunningly beautiful for photographs, especially in the fall, and we had endless choices of backgrounds for our first look photos and our family photos.

We felt in incredibly good hands with Sarah Parlos as our month-of-coordinator and on the day of. She always took in our needs with grace and understanding, and brought a positive, calm attitude to all of our meetings and discussions. We are very grateful that the board worked closely with us to make sure we had everything we needed on our special day, and we are particularly grateful to Ray and Howie for being so present and helpful throughout the weekend. We feel so lucky to have had our wedding at Hilltop, we couldn’t have pictured it anywhere else.

The review is for the trails around Hilltop Farm. Parking was on the graas overlooking the fields. Dogs are allowed on leash, and I'm happy to report that all doggies were leashed the day of our visit. The trail can be muddy after wet weather; water-resistant shoes are recommended.

We stayed on the fielld-perimeter trail, with views of the Connecticut River. A dead owl was on the side of the trail. There was also an available bathroom along the northern edge of the field. The GPS coordinates are 42.02211576275714, -72.61377551258283.

On the date of our visit, there were two downed trees which required stepping on rocks and straddling the trunks.

Finally got around to visit the creamery. I hadn't realized that they didn't make the ice cream on site, but rather they buy and resell (I believe it's Gifford's). Still good though! The view, however, is the best part of visiting Hilltop.
I had a "Dreamcicle" cooler, vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet blended with orange soda. My daughter had a scoop of cotton candy. Both were very good and the staff was very friendly. Place is cute inside, but not much space inside for seating. Plenty of room outside though.

Had the best experience! The ice cream was so good and the view was beautiful! Such a welcoming and family friendly place! My girls had the best time watching and waiving to the tractors! So much space for kids to run around and explore! So fun will definitely be back!

I visited Hilltop Farm for the first time and took a pleasant walk on the property. Seems to be a nice community gathering spot.

Beautiful country place. We went on a very warm day but the picnic tables were all under lovely trees and the breeze was perfect. The view, so pretty. The ice cream, wow!!!
