They also have a large selection of vegetables, grass fed meats. The scenery around the farm is beautiful and the store is very cute. It is a self-pay/trust model. They except PayPal or cash. It's a little tricky using PayPal because there's no Internet when you're there, so make sure when you leave the area and get Internet you make sure to send your payment after you leave.

I discovered Sweet Rowen Farmstead's amazing cheeses when I was at the Farmers Market in Burlington…read morea few weeks ago. I love cheese, so I tend to try a lot of them. I wasn't expecting anything special (there are so many cheddars in Vermont) but Sweet Rowen's cheeses were right up my alley in terms of taste, freshness and novelty. Utterly sublime, creamy and delicious. According to Sweet Rowen's cheese vendor at the market and its website, Sweet Rowen is a grass-based, family owned and operated dairy farm located in the North East Kingdom of Vermont, about 20 miles south of the Canadian border. It milks a small herd of Randall Lineback cattle, a heritage Vermont breed and feeds them the hay that it grows on their land. Sweet Rowen began selling milk in 2011. In 2012, it built its own creamery, enabling them to bottle their milk on-site and sell it locally. The creamery now sells small batches of non-homogenized milk and fresh cheese. For those of you not in the know, homogenization is a process in which hot milk is pumped at high pressure through very small nozzles, tearing fat globules into tiny particles and evenly dispersing them throughout the milk. When milk is non-homogenized, the cream is left in its whole form. This allows for a natural creamy taste that is lost through homogenization. I tried their Farmer's Cheese, Wood Nettle, Mountain Ash and Storm varieties. All were soft. The Wood Nettle was a fresh chevre-style cheese rolled in dried nettles and salt and was absolutely delicious. The Farmer's Cheeses were soft, cream cheese-style cheeses, each unique and tantalizing. The Mountain Ash was a form of Camembert cheese that was dusted with ash. So good. And the Storm cheese was the same as the Ash but without the ash. My boyfriend who is a big fan of French cheeses, loved the Ash and Storm, as did I. All of the cheeses were buttery, nutty and divine. If you are lucky enough to be able to attend the Burlington Farmers Market this summer, I highly recommend that you sample and buy these delicious and remarkable cheeses. Sweet Rowen will also be at the Shelburne Cheesemakers Festival. I'm happy that I will be there, too!

Wow, I'm starred. We received an early Christmas gift of Sweet Rowen cheeses, so we would have them…read moreto serve to company over the holidays. Two of the cheeses really stand out; Mountain Ash a beautifully ash dusted cheese soft and smooth insanely tasty, we paired it with a Chardonnay and it disappeared fast.

This convenience store in Westmore, VT is ideal for folks staying on Lake Willoughby. Although it…read moredoes not have the wide range of items in a supermarket (Barton, VT or Lyndonville), the store has a cozy and simple layout. One plus for the summer is that they provide delicious ice cream (Gifford's) through a window and snacks in the store. Also, you can order custom-made deli sandwiches (hot and cold) for picnics. Service was friendly. They have fishing hooks and live bait. Finally, you can buy an excellent trail map (at the front register) which provides great detail on the elevation gain and length of many local area hikes including Mt. Pisgah (north or south trail) and the Herbert Hawkes Trail (East Vista and North Outlook). Be careful of local wildlife - my wife and I saw a cute black bear (young and skittish) in the bushes just past the parking lot, but reported this immediately to the staff.

The lady at the restaurant area was incredibly rude to my mother in law and myself. We asked about their different pizzas and were met with silence, a serious attitude problem, and then told they did not have the meat to make a certain pizza (which is fine). To be greeted in this way was disheartening and disappointing. No greeting, no acknowledgement of our existence, and met with harshness when ordering food. My mother in law chose to leave this establishment based on how she was spoken to and treated. She had wondered if race was a factor here and I sure hope this wasn't the case. I hope management speaks with these two women on shift during this time. I would never recommend this establishment, restaurant, or store even if it's convenient. I gladly drove twelve miles down the road to the local grocery store.

They also offer a CSA where you can receive organic fruits and vegetables on a weekly basis when in season. At the company farm, there is a farm stand where you can buy their products along with a selection of other locally made and grown products. The selection is good and the prices are what you would expect to pay for high quality Vermont grown organic products. They accept cash, checks and credit cards. I believe the farm stand shuts down in the winter. If you stop, check out the plants growing on the roof of the farm stand.

Not only are the veggies top-rate, but through their amazing connections we get the best bread, meat, eggs, cheese, milk, and pantry items that Vermont (and sometimes Quebec and neighboring states) has to offer, including apples, honey, cornmeal, vinegar, jam, etc. With "real food" becoming harder to find, we rely on this farm to provide and source us soil-grown and pasture-raised organic products that we feel good about. We've only visited the farm store itself a handful of times, but it's well-stocked and always a treat.
