I just found out about Fat Toad Farm-a local Vermont Family Farm and purchased a small batch of:…read more COLD BREW COFFEE FLAVORED CARAMEL! 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 stumbled upon the Farm while heading to Randolph for Thai food at SAAP. Which is one of the best…read moreThai restaurants in the Eastern United States. 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!

Next time we are in town, I will be sure to stop by during the hours the deli is open to try one of their yummy looking sandwiches.

Just got our first order. Our previous syrup source was fantastic, but they stopped producing. I'm…read morerather glad they did because it spurred me to find Maple Farmers. They support very small family producers, which was the main reason I chose them. They also seemed dedicated to quality syrup. So I placed an order. First, the syrup is amazing. We got two quart bottles. Each was labeled with the name of the family farm that produced the syrup, which was a nice surprise. It was also fun for my maple-nuts husband to compare the flavors. They both received the highest marks from him. (I don't like maple syrup, so I have to rely on his assessment.) He says it's better than the syrup we used to get from his previous favorite provider. I can attest that their customer service is fantastic and have super fast shipping. If you like maple syrup, you will be thrilled with their products. We're already looking forward to placing our next order!

I also liked that it was not just me standing around the cheese platter. There is a cute corner where customers can enjoy their food. I would recommend coming here for coffee.

The groceries are too pricey for me, but maybe when my income is higher I would actually buy something here. Lastly, the customer service is great here!

As if that wasn't enough, the Market is one of the great places for homebrew supplies in in our area. They have an experienced brewer on staff who is there to answer your questions and guide you through any of your brewing challenges.

The concept behind this farm is super sweet (ba dum tiss). What I mean by that is that there is a…read morelot of trust involved here, as they utilize a farm share system. 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.
