Corn corn corn. The best kept food secret in the world…read more What's the best way to cook corn? 1. Fill pot with water. 2. Bring to a boil. 3. Go out and pick the corn. 4. Husk it. 5. Put it in the pot. 6. When water returns to boil, wait one minute. 7. Remove from pot. 8. Count to ten slowly, observe the steam and begin salivation. 9. Ok, you can eat it now. In Vermont corn is practically a cult. Each variety has a name -- silver queen, montauk, providence, honey select -- with a distinctive taste and look, each savored by afficionados. Everyone has their own perfect way of cooking it, which all vary by several seconds but basically follow the recipe above. There are treatises on how to store it after picking: shade, sun, room temperature, refrigerated - unwrapped or wrapped in paper or plastic? OMG... Freshness is everything. Never buy corn that wasn't picked the day you buy it. There are dozens of studies and theories as to how much sugar (ie, flavor)is lost overnight, with the consensus being about 50%. Which is irrelevant since CORN IS ALWAYS EATEN THE DAY IT IS PICKED. NO EXCEPTIONS! Day-old corn is no longer considered corn because IT HAS NO TASTE. In central Vermont, in the Lake Dunmore region near Middlebury, even though everyone and their brother sells corn, there is only one grower who consistently has perfect corn every time: Wayne Kingsley on Route 53, just north of the junction with Route 73 in Forest Dale. What sets Wayne apart is that he loves the food he grows and sells. He farms like a craftsman, using just the right fertilizer, just the right plot, planting on just the right days to sequence the different varieties so that every 3 or 4 days another type comes in, so you are always getting to taste different ones. His Providence corn had so much flavor that it made my mouth hurt. He also grows tomatoes, cukes, squash, beets, beans, all the rest, and his chosen blueberry supplier is also the best. As are his peaches. I have learned about the orgasmic joy of the natural taste of perfectly grown food from Kingsley's Farm Stand. Long may it reign. Who needs friends when there's corn?

Love all the wonderful produce over the years from Mr Kingley. So sorry to hear that he's passed on.read more

We were able to find much of what we needed here last weekend and left with a variety of breads, cheeses, fruits, vegetables and even a pie. Most people were friendly and we had a standout item and multiple subpar items but for us the thing that was very prevalent here was their absolute hatred of dogs. Every few feet at this OUTDOOR market they had signs proclaiming "No Dogs!" And it's not even like it was the same sign over and over. There were dozens of different signs all over. If I'm being honest, we never would have drive the hour round trip to come here if we knew we would have to leave our dog in the car. The prices were higher than expected but it's worth it so support local farmers. That being said, I am sure I saw a gentleman selling store bought pies at a markup so just be cautious and if your dog is always with you, there are lots of farm stands on the area you can visit instead of this market.

Showed us the most amazing newborn bunnies, got to meet Burt the HUGE hog, and a lot of other animals. They also had completely natural beef and bacon made local for sale. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Crawford Family Farm produces "farmstead" cheeses. Their cheeses are each named "Ayr" presumably…read morebecause they originate from aryshire cows milk. We tried two varieties, "Breezy Ayr", a standard farm cheese and "Vermont Ayr", the aged version. Breezy Ayr was a mellow, firm cows milk cheese with a very nice texture and some interesting highlights, but overall quite bland. The aged Vermont Ayr made this cheese come alive. While the sample that we had had not crystallized at all, it was sharp, tangy and complex with a nice smooth after taste. This cheese was one of the best artisan cheeses I have had in this region, very highly recommended. While our samples were from a cheese shop, this farm indicates that they are open to the public.
