Waiting a few days for the tomatoes to ripen-- hoping and expecting that they will be delicious. Very nice man. Also has kale, basil, and other greens. Highly recommended. Nice to take your kids here, too, so they can learn about where their produce comes from. I, personally, had never seen garlic bulbs still attached to the stalk. Pretty cool.

Corn corn corn. The best kept food secret in the world…read more What's the best way to cook corn? 1. Fill pot with water. 2. Bring to a boil. 3. Go out and pick the corn. 4. Husk it. 5. Put it in the pot. 6. When water returns to boil, wait one minute. 7. Remove from pot. 8. Count to ten slowly, observe the steam and begin salivation. 9. Ok, you can eat it now. In Vermont corn is practically a cult. Each variety has a name -- silver queen, montauk, providence, honey select -- with a distinctive taste and look, each savored by afficionados. Everyone has their own perfect way of cooking it, which all vary by several seconds but basically follow the recipe above. There are treatises on how to store it after picking: shade, sun, room temperature, refrigerated - unwrapped or wrapped in paper or plastic? OMG... Freshness is everything. Never buy corn that wasn't picked the day you buy it. There are dozens of studies and theories as to how much sugar (ie, flavor)is lost overnight, with the consensus being about 50%. Which is irrelevant since CORN IS ALWAYS EATEN THE DAY IT IS PICKED. NO EXCEPTIONS! Day-old corn is no longer considered corn because IT HAS NO TASTE. In central Vermont, in the Lake Dunmore region near Middlebury, even though everyone and their brother sells corn, there is only one grower who consistently has perfect corn every time: Wayne Kingsley on Route 53, just north of the junction with Route 73 in Forest Dale. What sets Wayne apart is that he loves the food he grows and sells. He farms like a craftsman, using just the right fertilizer, just the right plot, planting on just the right days to sequence the different varieties so that every 3 or 4 days another type comes in, so you are always getting to taste different ones. His Providence corn had so much flavor that it made my mouth hurt. He also grows tomatoes, cukes, squash, beets, beans, all the rest, and his chosen blueberry supplier is also the best. As are his peaches. I have learned about the orgasmic joy of the natural taste of perfectly grown food from Kingsley's Farm Stand. Long may it reign. Who needs friends when there's corn?

Love all the wonderful produce over the years from Mr Kingley. So sorry to hear that he's passed on.read more

Now I can't say that I have had the pleasure of stopping in at their actual orchard to tour their…read morecomplex, but yesterday while spending time at the Brattleboro Gallery Walk I taste tested a few of their ciders and spoke with one of their employees regarding the orchard. All I have to say is Wow! Ok, maybe I have more to say. The employee representing Champlain Orchards was polite, knowledgeable and a hell of a salesman during the Gallery Walk. We ended up trying a few different types of ciders, but the Macintosh and Maple sealed the deal for us. It was so good that we returned to buy a few four packs and bottles. In the end, if you don't like super sweet hard ciders then this is the cider for you. It was crisp and delicious but not overly sweet.

Took a couple of trips to figure out when this place was really open, and it was worth the effort…read more A family run place that has a lot going on. We were able to get there for the Cider Garden to be open. Two flights got us a taste of almost all of the ciders! available. What a great variety. We ordered our flights and a couple bowls of soup at the counter, and found a seat in the garden. Surrounded by the orchards and flower gardens, this was a fantastic setting to sample ciders and have a bite. Soups were brought to us in the garden, and we really had a chance to enjoy the day. We stopped in the store to get a case of our favorite ciders to take home - and, of course, a couple fresh apple cider donuts for the road.

We were able to find much of what we needed here last weekend and left with a variety of breads, cheeses, fruits, vegetables and even a pie. Most people were friendly and we had a standout item and multiple subpar items but for us the thing that was very prevalent here was their absolute hatred of dogs. Every few feet at this OUTDOOR market they had signs proclaiming "No Dogs!" And it's not even like it was the same sign over and over. There were dozens of different signs all over. If I'm being honest, we never would have drive the hour round trip to come here if we knew we would have to leave our dog in the car. The prices were higher than expected but it's worth it so support local farmers. That being said, I am sure I saw a gentleman selling store bought pies at a markup so just be cautious and if your dog is always with you, there are lots of farm stands on the area you can visit instead of this market.

Arrived to find chicken in the yard and a little hound dog sleeping right next to the road. Instant thought was this is going to be either awesome or horrible. We were pleasantly surprised. Let ourselves in to the office per the signs posted, made our way into the barn were we met Cory, the owner then his wife. They talked to us for a good bit. Really friendly folks. Showed us the most amazing newborn bunnies, got to meet Burt the HUGE hog, and a lot of other animals. They also had completely natural beef and bacon made local for sale. Can't say enough good things about this place.
