I did partake in a delicious chocolate chip cookie from Moutainview Bakehouse and a pretzel with flavorful mustard, as well as purchased a soft pretzel with mustard from the Austrian bakery Haus on the Hill that also had a lot of wonderful sweet European style treats. Took home two jars of The Poet's Garden's yummy homemade jam: Black Currant Rhubarb Lemon and Aronia Berry. There were a number of things I hadn't ever seen before, like a huge wild Puffball Mushroom, and Sea Berry plants. Found particularly nice the handmade ceramic tiles, felt artwork and wood pieces from Heartbeat Lifesharing group. There was covered seating to enjoy your food and an adjacent community garden. If you're in the area on a Friday afternoon, Hardwick Farmer's Market is a great place to stop by,

Their scoops are generous and the ice cream choices plentiful. I think we may have to come by here to try out the other ice creams. There are picnic tables in the back you can enjoy your ice cream treat and take in the farm view.

While wandering through town, we came across Cabot Creamery at the Yellow Barn and what an absolute gem of a discovery! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the warm. The ambiance was inviting and cozy, with a small-town charm that immediately made us feel at home. You can tell the team here puts a lot of care into creating a memorable experience for visitors. We sampled several of their incredible cheeses, including their current oldest an astonishing 10-year-aged cheddar that was rich, sharp, and full of complex flavor. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely enthusiastic about helping us navigate the variety of offerings. We ended up purchasing the White Oak Cheddar Cheese, the unforgettable 10-Year Cheddar, Wozz Green Tom Jalap Spread (a perfect savory kick!), and the BHP CP Raspberry Mostarda, which added a beautifully sweet and tangy touch to our cheese pairings. If you're ever in the Hardwick area or even remotely nearby do yourself a favor and make a stop at this delightful cheese shop. It's well worth the detour!

A great assortment of goods-fresh fruits, baked goods, animal treats, Jamaican food, Vermont maple syrups and butters, cheeses, meats, knits, art, and much more. The coffee, scone, and kettle corn stands are probably my favorites. Depending on the time of year, they have special products, such as hot apple cider in the fall which is absolutely delicious. All of the vendors are unique and the people very down to earth and conversational. Prices are to be expected being since you are paying for locally grown, organic, homemade items. Check this out on Saturdays and you will not be disappointed.
