Sort of like subscribing to those businesses that send you cool mystery packages, a farm share is where you pay to support the farm and in return you get a share of the farm's harvest, whatever they end up harvesting. You will need to pick it up yourself of course. Jules invited me to tag along with her to pick up the farm share harvest for the week. No one was really there to monitor everything that day (we were actually the only ones present at the moment). The farm people just left the harvested goods there in a barn and you sign off on the list that you picked up your share! This time around we got scallions, kale, and scallions. There is even a barter box where you can leave behind items you do not want and in return, you can take any items that you want.

And Sweetland is the first place that came to mind. This place is working super hard to bring local, nutritious meats and produce to the community. On top of that, they do everything they can to actually build that community and it's resilience. In normal years, their CSA pickup and you pick crops for members are a really awesome way to meet and visit with neighbors, and they also host a variety of awesome events and let you wander around the beautiful farm. Chris and Norah and the crew are also really kind and welcoming. This year, despite being crazy busy filling their sold out CSA shares, they also put lots of time and effort into starting a grocery pick up service for community members to be able to get food safely. I worked with them on this project, and was amazed by how hard working, caring, and innovative they are. They really cared about their team, other local farmers, and their community. It's very inspiring to be around them.

The carrots are especially awesome, but they also have perfect tomatoes, the best corn ever, great arugula, mixed greens etc. Strawberries and blueberries are amazing as well. They also have cheeses, milk, local meats, baked goods - if I lived in the upper valley I would do almost all my grocery shopping at Killdeer. No need to shop elsewhere!

Update: Killdeer has raised prices significantly since my review. So I mostly shop elsewhere now…read more Killdeer is still good for the occasional purchase -- but has priced itself out of the "everyday essentials" category, and into the "luxury novelty" and "tourist trap" categories. So, a half star off for mediocre value. Another half star off for business practices, based on Killdeer's sanctimonious statements trying to justify their policy of importing foreign workers from poor countries to do their farm labor, instead of hiring local workers. Come on guys, you import foreign laborers for one reason: to maximize corporate profit. There is no difference between what you do, and what mid-western meat-packing plants do. And that's okay -- I feel Killdeer is entitled to hire whoever they want, as long as it's legal. But I resent the Karl Rove-ian style "Clear Skies" doublespeak spin.

It was packaged in their own hand stamped classy gift bag with a wooden serving spoon attached! What a wonderful concept....artisan made caramel sourced with goat's milk in the following flavors: Original, Vanilla Bean, Vermont Maple, Cold Brew Coffee, Spicy Dark Chocolate, Irish Whiskey Cream, Salted Bourbon, and Cinnamon. What I LOVE: That a Vermont Family raises their own goats, harvests the goats milk, teams up with other locally sourced entrepreneurs to create a variety of caramel flavors! They also offer locally sourced honey from a small batch raw honey apiary called Hera's Bees. Which sustainably harvests honey from their hives while allowing enough for each harvested hive to sustain itself through the cold Vermont winters! Thank you Judith for nicely packaging and sending me the Cold Brew Coffee Caramel and Hera's Bees Honey! ABOUT THE CARAMELS- Ingredients: Original: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, baking soda Salted Bourbon: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, Kentucky straight Bourbon, baking soda, sea salt Vanilla Bean: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, baking soda, French Bourbon vanilla beans Vermont Maple: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, Cold Hollow Vermont Pure Maple Syrup, baking soda Cold Brew Coffee: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, Vermont Artisan Cold Brew, baking soda Spicy Dark Chocolate: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, Taza Organic Stone Ground Chocolate Liquor, baking soda, ground cayenne Irish Whiskey Cream: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, heavy cream, Irish Whiskey, baking soda, sea salt *Irish Whiskey Cream contains cow's cream Cinnamon: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, baking soda, organic cinnamon sticks Source: https://www.fattoadfarm.com/the-petit-caramel-jar-gift-bag-2oz/

We were greeted by Judith's 3 dogs, what a welcoming! They wanted their ball to be thrown. One of the last reviews stated they were generally there 10-4 on weekends so we took a chance, and I am glad we did. Judith shared their story, invited us to check out the production facility just over the ridge and even go see the goats a few miles away at the goat creamery / dairy. I have always been a fan of caramel, but had no idea you could take it to this level of flavor. We bought the 2oz jar sampler packs to return home to Pennsylvania. The salted bourbon and Vermont maple caramels were my favorite, my wife enjoyed the cold brew caramel and cinnamon. We plan to cut up some fresh apples when we get home to enjoy of new found heaven and remember just how nice Judith was and how she shared a piece of her life with us. Vermont is a beautiful place!
