They sell gifts, silverware, cups, b owls, napkins, cutting boards, maple syrups from local spots (of course!), cookies, snacks, knickknacks, sodas, ice cream, and much more! Definitely worth stopping in! We bought a maple-leaf-shaped glass bottle of local syrup plus a maple soda, both of which were oh so incredible.

Follow your maps and once you cross the bridge they have tons of signs to direct you, hard to get lost. Trust they're hours, we showed up in the pouring rain and they're still open 9am-5pm weekdays. As soon as you walk in you'll get free samples. We sampled 5 cheeses and 2 grades of maple syrup - it sells itself. One cheese is made with unpasteurized milk - others include sharp cheddar, sage, smoked. Convinced me to try traveling home with cheese for the first time. Tons of products available for sell including from other farms as well. I recommend picking up some of the Red Kite Candy caramels they have there. If you liked it as much as me their factory is about a 30 min drive away. Other activities include petting animals (not in winter), walking trail, and self guided tour of their maple house. Wasn't able to do the trail in the rain but I would estimate you can do all of this in 2 hours. Not at all like Billings Farm if you're concerned about going to both or only have time for one. Billings has an admission fee, no samples of milk or cheese though the make both. More of a museum but they do have up close interactions with their cows (even in winter) for the kids, butter churning, candle dipping. Recommend Billing for taking kids on homesteading field trip, Sugarbush a quick stop for foodie/charcuterie person IMPORTANT: They do NOT sell sugarbush products at any of the stores in Woodstock so don't plan to buy more later and have regrets like us - we looked in every store and couldn't find it. Not sure about Quechee though. Products can also be ordered online and shipped

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!

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!

So, I settled for the best alternatives I could find, based on past experience and their current prices. But I really wanted something to satisfy a taste craving. And today, I found this popcorn. 'Cabot Creamery Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese Popcorn'. This packs amazingly strong cheedar flavor into popcorn. If you gave this to someone who's had Smartfood, or Wise White Cheddar, and asked them to compare them (I[ve had both of those) , it'd be a mind blowing experience for them. It's like the first time a Canada Dry ginger ale drinker tastes Schweppes for the first time. Or even better, a good ginger beer instead of ginger ale. It's just that muuch more real cheddar flvor. And BJ's sells a 15 oz. bag for 8 bucks, compared to the 4.5 oz. bags for around $4-$5 that other retailers carry for this brand, so it's a great value on price and quality. I'm not saying join Bjs to get it, but I am saying if you're a BJs member, this is popcorn you should try. If this popcorn had come out in 1985, Crocodile Dundee would have been the perfect spokesperson for it. "That's not popcorn. THIS is popcorn."

I was there on a Tuesday and it was half priced oysters - what a thrill! My bartender made an excellent recommendation based on my preferences. Oysters were great and shucked at the bar. The mignonette was perfect. The beef tartare was marvelous - juicy meat, well balanced with the sauce and truffle chips. Triple crème was phenomeeeennnaalll. I shared that my doc is making me be gluten free and asked if there was anything that could serve as a sub. A server offered gluten free crackers (which were way tastier than they looked!). My only disappointment was that they didn't give me a heads up that the gf option was a $6 up charge. I know GF costs the restaurant, and I'm generally willing to pay a little more, but $6 for 15 crackers feels excessive!! The cheese itself was 10, I don't know that I would have added 50% to that item bc I can't eat the bread, and I would have liked the option of making the decision. Would return, but definitely want to give the heads up to my GF friends about the steep up charge.

We had the loveliest time here! We visited for their charcuterie workshop on a Sunday afternoon,…read moreand it was such a nice way to spend the afternoon. We got there early and were greeted by the most friendly workshop host/Dedalus employee, Brittany. They were still in the process of setting up the class, so we walked over to their little store/gift shop. I could've looked around in there for hours! They had so many unique and interesting things - panettone, gourmet chocolates, tin fish, meats, cheeses, gift boxes for the holidays, and much much more. The workshop we took was wonderful. It was lead by Brittany, their sommelier, and Dana, their cheese monger, and they taught us about different wine, cheese, and meat pairings to curate a holiday charcuterie board. The wines and cheeses they selected were divine and so delicious. I loved everything that they gave us, and they selected some pretty unique choices that I was worried I wouldn't enjoy. Everything was wonderful, and they gave us a lot of information about everything we consumed. This store is such a lovely spot and I wish I had something similar near me! It's cozy and classy, without being pretentious. Their sommelier knows so much about the wines they have and I never felt silly or stupid asking questions. She mentioned that she loves to ask customers about their preferences and budget and keeps a very open environment when people come in, and is able to select the best wines that suit them. I'm looking forward to coming back here the next time I'm in town!
