We stayed in the king bed master bedroom which was quite spacious and well kept. The house is nestled in an 18 acre forest which is breathtaking. For our breakfast, Donna made an amazing french toast with home made plum jam and raisins, the maple syrup came from one of the trees on the property!! I also had a delicious made to order cheese omlette. This place is everything you would want in a B&B, hospitality and service and beauty are all packaged in at Farmwood Meadows.

The views are also great. And the breakfasts.....let me tell you about the breakfasts. Handmade by the hosts, multiple courses, all fresh local ingredients. Homemade bread and pastries, omletes with local Vermont cheese, potatoes, fresh fruits, juice, coffee....we were stuffed every morning. The only thing better than the breakfasts were the hosts themselves. Just the nicest couple you'd ever want to meet. They made themselves available for anything we needed. Donna gave us dinner recommendations and would include printed directions to the restaurants. She is so knowledgeable about all there is to do in the area. Clifford was so kind and accommodating as well. We arrived on motorcycle and he insisted on us keeping it in his garage. He also offered us his rain gear upon our departure because it was drizzling. He even followed up with us after to make sure we had arrived home safely. So in short. Beautiful accommodations. Great views. Amazing breakfast. Kind and helpful hosts. You really couldn't ask for more. I'll be staying here again for sure.

Raised in a Conservative Jewish family, bacon was not something I was so into. Sure, I would have…read morean occasional piece when eating out, but it was never anything I got so excited about. In truth, mass produced inhumanely raised pork that most Americans lavish over, just does not do it for me. Over the last couple years as I have started to eat better quality protein and less carbs, I have become more of a bacon fan. I usually buy Applegate Farms uncured sunday bacon (expensive!), which I think is really good (cool tip from Jacques Pépin that makes bacon even better: http://youtu.be/tNYL9mLAFyY). I have not had Flying Pigs bacon yet, only their eggs, so this five star review is based on their eggs only. When I try their bacon I will do an update. But from what I gather online, they treat their pigs nicely...well, until they kill them. Getting back to the eggs. The eggs are are delicious and very FRESH. You can tell by looking at the white part, it is well formed and firm. The yolks are darker too. Life is too short not to eat pasture raised eggs (that said, they still get a good % of their diet from grain and soy). "Cage Free" means nothing! These are not organic eggs, but in this context I'm not sure what that means or how significant that is. Also, last week they were selling a dozen for $3.50 which is a great value. Much better than the $8 or now $10 egg place a few stalls down! In my opinion, these are the best eggs at the Union Square Greenmarket when taking into account quality and value.

We cut it down and they stopped and picked it up from us with a cart, no dragging the tree through the mud to the car. And an added plus, they wrap the tree so it's easy to get in the car and bring it home. We also picked up some incredibly well priced maple syrup from the farm down the road.
