A friend and I shared a Large share at ICF (which is separate from the Intervale Food Hub by the…read moreway) this past summer. Their COVID protocols were excellent (handwash and hand sanitizer stations, assigned staggered pick up times, everyone required to socially distance and wear masks, etc). The all-organic produce was awesome! There was definitely plenty of it (I often shared some with my roommates) and a good variety over the season. I loved getting watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, beans, carrots, onions, potatoes, beets, kale, chard, cabbage, consistent salad greens over the whole season, strawberries and corn in season, pumpkins, herbs, scallions, etc. I also enjoyed the pick your own component (for herbs, scallions, string beans, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, cut flowers, etc). It was so lovely to get to put my hands on the plants and in the dirt and directly see things growing. Normally there's such a divide between "front-" and "back-of-house". I loved that this divide was broken down somewhat. I was also frankly amazed at the quantity of food they produced--how many people were being fed from this one farm. I availed myself of the organic VT eggs each week, which were great. It was so convenient to get so much of my food from the farm pick up, especially during COVID. I went to the store so much less, and I felt good about more of my money going to farmers. We wanted to do their Winter Share but couldn't b/c they only have 1/3 as many shares as the summer so instead we're splitting an Intervale Food Hub share, which is nice and has variety in a different way (for example it has apples and mushrooms, and you can add tortillas). One difference I appreciate about ICF is that the eggs and all of the produce there are organic, whereas the food hub doesn't have quite as much organic selection.

My wife and I visited Chapin Orchard for the first time, and it was such a wonderful experience…read morefrom start to finish! The orchard has that warm, welcoming Vermont charm. Friendly staff, scenic views of the rolling hills, and rows of vibrant apple trees that stretch as far as you can see. We picked both Empire and McIntosh apples, and they were crisp, juicy, and perfectly ripe. After picking, we stopped by the barn and bought some Honey Crisp apples to take home, they were just as amazing. The barn also had a great local feel, with fresh cider, jams, and other Vermont-made goodies available. The highlight of the day had to be the fresh cider doughnuts; warm, soft, and coated in cinnamon sugar paired with cold apple cider. To make it even better, there was a live band playing outside, creating such a fun and festive atmosphere. Families were laughing, kids were playing, and everyone seemed to be enjoying the beautiful fall warm day. This was truly a great fall event and the perfect way to spend a weekend in Vermont. Between the beautiful scenery, great music, and delicious apples, we couldn't have asked for a better first visit. We'll definitely be making this an annual tradition!

This one is located within the downtown metro area. I was very impressed with their bread sections. They have about three different sections to choose from that feature breads from local bakeries. They also have pre-made sandwiches wrapped up and ready to go. I chose a half Jersey sub. It was delicious! All the meats, veggies and bread were superb! This grocery store also offers plenty of grocery options as well. I was impressed with their produce section. You enter it after immediately going through the front entrance doors. I'm really glad I chose to stop by here. It was well worth my time. Also, expect a lot of patrons due to the location and the quality organic food store that it is. I'm open to stopping by again before leaving town.

The fresh raspberries were so tasty and fun to pick. The blackberries were minimal on my visit but those that I found were good and flavorful. Not sure of organic, but all berries were pesticide free and oh so tasty. They have roaming chickens in the fields and they were pretty friendly/annoying you as you pick :) Farmer Mike was super friendly and welcoming to his farm. Note that they have Isham Farms on both sides of the road. The berries are up the driveway by the Sugar Shack were they make maple syrup in March/April of each year.

The bride and groom were allowed to bring in all of their own food and beverages, which made for a low-key, easy event. The wedding day included wagon rides through the fields - and another full, fun evening. I can't speak to whether the food and service are recommended/provided through the farm but it was a wonderful, tasty, family-style meal; and, the bartenders and other servers were friendly and fast. Farmer Mike himself is a also very friendly and clearly proud of his beautiful property. Oh, and his berries, honey, and syrup are all some of the best I've had. Overall, I would highly recommend Isham for DIY berry picking with the family or the entire property for an event.
