My car was scratched by an untrimmed overhanging bush alongside the road to parking. I reported…read moreit to the manager and she said she would email me her contact information which she never did. I emailed their landlord, which is the Hanover co-op and reported the issue. They said that it was the farmers market management who was responsible for maintaining the landscaping. The Norwich Farmers did not reimburse me or even respond to my emails with their insurance information. I was going to take them to court, but that would involve my insurance and I don't want my rates to go up. I used to be a customer for years as I live locally but due to their complete disregard for their customers, and horrible management I will never return. I can get what I need from the farms I buy from directly. If you value your car or drive an expensive car be aware.

The building looked historic and the farm market was a delight. They had flowers, fresh produce, various goodies, and even an ice cream shop in the back. The people working there were friendly also. I love that small town vibe. On this visit, I purchased tomatoes, onion, lemon cucumbers (yes, that is a thing and it's delicious), and whoopie pies. The ice cream was good too, I had the banana pie. They also had candy for sale. There were a couple of tables you can enjoy your ice cream at. Overall, another awesome farm market that is affordable and has high quality products.

We didn't know much about Woodstock but ended up staying in the area due to the great reviews of On…read morethe River Inn. The town of Woodstock is quaint, and there are plenty of inns to choose from but that being said, you mostly rely on Gillingham's General Store and the local Farmers Market (physical store) for last minute supplies since finding a dinner restaurant the first few days of the week is unlikely to happen and the closest large pharmacy is a half hour drive away. Overall parking is easy with the Park Mobile app and there are many lovely small businesses you can stop into. It's a fairly sleepy town and if you do consider visiting, I'd either do so prior to November or in December, as in November there's no foliage to speak of and you generally get frost instead of snow.

Vermont local beef & pork = delicious!…read more I discovered Raycin Farms at the Hartland Farmers Market. The owner raises their own beef and pork and uses the local butcher/ slaughterhouse in St Johnsbury to get some great steaks, chops, sausages, ground beef, and more. I got some steaks and ground beef. I was happy & surprised at how gamey and wild their grass only fed cow was. I was not used to that flavor! It was fun and exciting at the same time! Is this the real beef? Is this how beef REALLY tastes, maybe 100 years ago? Price, yeah more of course, but go for it! Very lean beef! Comparable to buffalo. Hartland FM is Fridays 3:00 to 7:00 and a wonderful location at the local Hartland Library.

This was only my second outing that week and my last chance for greens before Easter. Before disappointment could set in the door swings open and Jill, the owner is standing there with a big grin saying : "You need to shop?". Everything was neatly put away which she opened right back up again- reassuring me to take my time. I wasn't the last late shopper that she allowed in but I'll bet I was the most grateful. I just want to say thank you for that act of kindness it went a long way in making our very unusual Easter a little greener.
