I'm a cheese head…read more So when my friend was making our itinerary for a trip to VT, I was really excited to try this place! Weather got a little hariy getting there with the slushy roads, but we made it! It's pretty remote location with no street lights, so if driving in the dark look for the signs to get there and trust your GPS. There's a large parking lot across from the entrance to the little store/shop. The shop is actually the owners old family home I belive. We arrived pretty much at closing time, but we were still welcomed warmly. We got a cheese & maple syrup tasting which was yum and informative, and the staff member that did it was really nice, I forgot her name, but see photo below. One of the cheeses has won a cheese competition, very cool. We also got to meet the owner, but she was busy getting Christmas orders together. I perused all of the cheeses I wanted and settled on 4. We got to try 2 out of the 4 from the cheese sampling. The nice lady that checked me out even gave me some nice to-go samples as well. The smoked cheese was my fav, and the sage. But I enjoyed them all. I was able to easily fly home to TX with them due to the cold weather of the season. After the tasting, we got to peruse the store. They have so much other stuff to buy in additon to cheese and maple, tons of knick-knacks and gifts and merch. We didn't get to explore the farm after since it was pitch black when we left, too bad. Enjoy!

Some years ago I tried the maple syrup from Sugarbush Farms and never looked back. No other syrup…read morecompares and I always go out of my way to visit anytime I'm anywhere in the greater New England area! Sadly this year I didn't get to visit New England - but lucky for me Sugarbush ships nationwide!! So I tried it out and ordered some of their syrup and my fave cheeses. Ordering online via their website was super easy. I ordered my fave dark variety of their maple syrup and 4 cheeses: horseradish cheddar, jalapeño cheddar, sharp cheddar, and Monterey Jack. Their horseradish cheddar is my absolute fave - a wonderful kick of the spicy horseradish blends so well with their rich cheddar. I really love the jalapeño cheddar too - packed full of flavor with just the right amount of kick - not overwhelming but enough to taste it. The other two were great as well - you can definitely tell their cheeses are made fresh on site - flavors are just next level compared to industrial-manufactured cheeses from the grocery store chains. And the maple syrup is also in a league of its own - nothing mass-manufactured from any grocery chain holds a candle to the rich, complex flavors and velvety texture. The syrups also last quite a long time so I'm able to keep my stocks full yearly! Since I was ordering cheese with a long way to travel, and it was still quite warm in parts of the US, their website suggested adding one of their insulated shipping boxes for an extra fee of $8. I didn't want to risk ruining my cheese so I did and all arrived in excellent condition! They pack it in extra insulated styrofoam with ice packs. So it's definitely worth it imo. Next year I'll be in Maine in October so I'll definitely be planning an extra day or two to pop over to Sugarbush on my way back out haha!! See yall next fall!

Sophia's is a fun place for a solo pick-me-up or to bring kids. When I walked in, I first noticed…read morethe fudge and it was delicious. The owner let me know about all of the types of candies available: from the hard candies to the Licorice Lagoon to the massive selection of gummies to the chocolates to the rock candies and to bubble gums to sours to lollipops to international finds (including from Europe, Dubai and Mexico) ... it's a small space but there won't be much that you can't find if you are having a hankering. The freeze-dried candies are delicious: very flavorful. Go to Sophia's Candy Corner on Facebook to see featured candy items and events. She's also big on car events out in the parking lot in front of the shop, in season.

Located in Manchester VT a very homey little candy shop…read more You walk into this place in Manchester and just kinda think...why does this store fit perfectly for where I am at at this moment? It's truly a pleasant little store. The lady seemed a little weirded out when my brother and I first walked in. We were in Manchester for the night, on our way back to NY from a week in Maine. She looked at us like....hmm I dunno, don't wanna say anything mean bc she wasn't mean lol, she just looked at us ... weirdly lol. Not sure how else to put it. As our visit went on she ended up being very nice. I just hope she didn't think we were in there to like...steal a couple pieces of candy hahaha. I mean, we aren't 10 years old anymore lol. She then went on to tell us about the store and how all the candy is made there (pretty sure that's what she said). I just remember thinking....how wonderful that this stuff isn't imported from places like...ugh China! They have everything! Every possible kind of candy you can imagine...she has it. She gave us a free sample and it was amazing! There are few great candy shoppes in Manchester. This one is definitely one of them. Prices are a little...high. Just a heads up if you go here. Couple things to consider as to why tho... 1) it's Manchester VT. It's a very bougie little town. Only makes sense most things are pricey there 2) privately owned 3) candy is made on site 4) it's Manchester Vermont lol Should this stop you from going? Absolutely not. Even if you're just in to look...it's worth it. Really a cute store. I hope to return to it one day. Living in Idaho, I rarely make it to Vermont lol. BUT IF I DO! I will for sure head back into Mother Myricks! Thanks for reading, YelperMyrickers! Cheers!

From Mother Myrick's in Manchester, VT, we bought a few chocolate-covered orange peels,…read morechocolate-dipped apricots, along with a box of toffee covered with milk chocolate and ground almonds. I also bought a peach-raspberry muffin and a blueberry muffin. The muffins looked great but were without ANY flavor. Downright awful, not sure what that was about, but the chocolates were very good. I don't think they were quite as good as Lake Champlain chocolates, but they were a close second. I always appreciate the freshness factor (in addition to flavor), so it mattered that the orange peel and apricots were very fresh. If we are ever in the area, I'd come back here for sure, but I'd stick with the chocolates only. No more baked goods !

I bought three Sky-bars and three Malomars at almost $3 a piece, they are at my local Market Basket for $1 per. Same with rolls of Necco Wafers, $1, not here.

The selection is AMAZING!! The wide variety of all things delicious are not only sold here but made from scratch in small batches to control the quality and deliciousness of every single morsel of goodness that is packed into everything they create. This family owned and operated Candy store has it all and yes even harder to find items can be found here pretty much year round however they welcome customized orders that have been made to your specific liking!! This place doesn't disappoint and the prices are more than reasonable especially when you take into consideration all of the fine ingredients, time and love that goes into everything they have to offer. It is my absolute favorite candy shop on the entire planet and I highly recommend stopping by or if that's not possible for you than just place an order for delivery!! You definitely won't be sorry that you did!! They'll ship it wherever whenever you want it and the presentation is just as glorious as the treats are!! So whether you're a local or just someone who's passing through Gardner Massachusetts... OMG you've gotta stop by because life is far to short to live it with any regrets!! Yes everything you can buy in the shop is also available for delivery/shopping as well!! No I am not employed by them hahaha just a very satisfied customer for over the last 20+ years is all!! Why would I want a simple Hershey bar when I could have some of their hand dipped chocolates and a pound of their homemade French rolls which I always say is for everyone but I typically keep it all for myself hehehe!!

I most highly recommend unless you are on a severe diet and have a sweet tooth. In such a case, steer clear! Otherwise stop in fora chat and a treat, while picking up presents for those unlucky enough to not be there.

In any event, they have a large selection. I didn't see the list of ice cream flavors they had on offer but that area was manned and there are some tables in there to enjoy on site. Parking is on street about a block away that you pre-pay for at the kiosk and leave the receipt on your dash board. The entrance is up a few steps.
