On an after dinner walk on the Sunape Harbor, we came up to this brand new store that turned out to…read morebe a really nice food boutique, featuring great wines, superb cheeses and specialty gourmet items, all at a reasonable price point. The storekeeper is genuinely nice and affable, keeping the place immaculately clean while providing excellent customer service. Some of the salient items we saw were Masa tortilla chips, seldom seen in grocery stores. As well, Specialty cheeses from small Vermont and New Hampshire creameries. A good selection of crackers, snacks, carne seca, and a huge collection of upscale wines such as Napa wineries. Great place to visit before a party, because their selections are way above grocery venues.

They fully stock fresh breads (lots of varieties) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (at least that's what the gentleman working told us). The take and bake almond croissants were delicious! On Saturdays they stock freshly baked ones if you don't want to cook on your own. Homemade granola is also very tasty. Went back for more before heading home from vacation in the area.

The best place to get your plants, trees and vegetables not to mention all the items in the store…read more Amy is so helpful and you can tell the difference in these plants from the big box stores. I've gotten a lemon, orange, peach, apple, pear and willow tree as well. The vegetable plants are also great.. we now grow asparagus and wasabi! We even ordered all our mulch here. Honey and Chip love the organic dog treats too!

We discovered the Hemingway Farms roadside stand several years ago, and it remains a very…read morepleasurable and occasionally inspired place to shop for a great variety of plants and farm food products. The stand is not exactly in the middle of everything; in fact, it's along Hwy 12 near Charlestown, kind of between Bellows Falls and Clairmont. You have to look for it, but we think making the effort gets you rewards. Like a very knowledgeable group of folks who tend the stand and who are helpful in locating what you want. Their specialty might be early-season plantings -- they are ahead of most farmers, it appears -- but just know that when you're up for some veggies, tomatoes or corn, here's a good place to buy them And their prices are quite reasonable, too.

The sweetest souls work here and the animal feeding area/petting zoo is incredible! When you arrive at Taylor Farms, you step into the cute little country store stationed at the beginning of the farm. The store is stocked with farm products like yummy cheeses and icecreams but also food and home products from local businesses like soaps, etc. My daughter picked out a scoop of her favorite VT icecream, maple walnut and wandered the store. I stumbled upon the "feed our animals" station near the store exit. You can buy the farm animals food and feed them yourself! The store associate welcomed us to go see the animals even if we didn't buy any food for them. You could tell she really loved them. We bought a variety pack for the animals which consisted of carrots, an apple, a bag of homemade cheeseits, and chicken feed (corn meal?). My daughter had a ball feeding the donkey, cows, chickens and cat! We had a ball watching her experience new things and support a local farm! We hope to come back someday soon!

Lots of great sandwiches, a great selection of prepared food, and Vermont beers. Sometimes they even sell the elusive Heady Topper. Sit outside in the shade by the picnic tables.

But bring your cooler so you can load up with the reason you are really here: That Amazing Cheese! And actually, they sell souvenir lunchbox coolers so that'll save you. There are a number of cheese varieties from which to choose, and you can't go wrong. The museum is actually larger than the cheese shop itself, which is essentially some cheeseboard accessories and a deli case of cheeses. Just the right amount of goods and goodies to buy en route to your next stop on the Vermont Cheese Trail.

The idea that this cheese place was opened to recreate the original cheese process manufactured…read morehere is really interesting. It's both a way to learn about old-fashioned manufacturing techniques and also, a good place to get food. Win-win. Downstairs they make the cheese and customers can watch (that's my understanding, they weren't making cheese when I went) and upstairs is the old equipment for contrast and a small exhibit for additional information. Though the equipment is modern, the process is the same (along with any additional safety/food inspections). It's a great living example of bringing the past to life and promoting making local food as they also use nearby dairy supply and create in house. The cheese is on the more expensive side compared to what you can get in the grocery store, but they had several different Vermont Cheddar flavors. They had samples out, and the smoked cheddar won us over. We also got some beef jerky to pair with it, and the cashier gave us a plate and bamboo knife to eat right outside at a picnic table. I would definitely recommend a metal knife in the situation to get through the wax covering, but the wax is nothing a little sawing can't break through. The cheese is fresh and creamy with that great layer of smoky flavor. It's an upscale cheese and very flavorful. If I was able to take more to go, I would love to try a lot more of the flavors. I'm not cheese expert, but if you want that authentic Vermont cheddar, it doesn't get more real and delicious than this.
