Let me just say that Vermont is so pure and good (in terms of quality of life). My lovely friend…read moreJules wanted to give us the Vermont experience by taking us around to the local farms and having us live our best Vermont lives for the week that we were spending with her family (bless them for hosting us!). Greenhouses are plentiful here and you can pick up some potted flowers for your home garden, as well as your own herbs and veggies! You can also pick up some good old groceries here, like meat or dairy products (fresh eggs and milk anyone?). If you're anything like me and my group of friends, we like to be photographed anywhere and everywhere so the flower greenhouse was the spot to be in. Call us obnoxious, because we are actually so obnoxious, but we also appreciate the beauty of local farms! The Vermont way of life values buying local goods and honestly, I don't mind living this small town lifestyle for a bit. Not forever though, as I'm a city boy through and through.

We came here after my girlfriend (now fiancé) and I got engaged. We had a private room on the…read moresecond floor and they were extremely accommodating. We had heard fantastic reviews about this place from a friend and they did not disappoint. I could come here again and again and again. The daily menu was out of this world. Everything is either produced on their farm or nearby farms. They give you the daily menu when you arrive and you can see which ingredients came from which farm. The daughter served us all night and was so kind and sweet. My fiancé is also vegetarian and they made her a butternut squash fettuccini with roasted broccoli. The sweet corn polentas were out of this world. They were perfectly crispy and came with the sweetest red pepper jam. We wish we could have eaten this all night! The sourdough bread is warm and so crispy on the outside. They even make the butter on site. For dessert we had the most perfect decadent chocolate cake with rosemary and thyme ice cream. I didn't even know you could make ice cream with herbs and it was fantastic!! This was the absolute perfect way to celebrate our engagement. We couldn't have asked for a better family to share this occasion with. We will definitely be back again in the future!

This market, open from May through October, is the best farmers' market in the Upper Valley. In…read morewinter, it moves to Tracy Hall in Norwich. Check the website for information. You'll find a terrific selection of vegetables from top-notch local farms (Your Farm, Echo Hill Farm, Cedar Circle Farm, Hurricane Flats + others); cheeses (Woodcock Farms, Cobb Hill); baked goods (look for Bakewell--excellent!; Umpleby's); meats (chicken, pork, beef, lamb); and some crafts. There are also excellent tamales & pupusas from Mama Tinas. There's often music happening, too, making the market a real gather place with lots of activity. Highly recommended to visitors & locals.

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.

Plus, Patch Orchards had tallow candles and bath bombs in their store made by the mother-in-law of the nice young man who checked us out - those offerings were unexpected. The apples themselves were excellent also, with lots of different varieties available for picking. The scenic views were also ridiculously beautiful. And the playground equipment for younger kids was surprisingly large and robust. Nice place to spend some relaxing family time.

As usual, I arrived with my clients, politely said hello and stated I was there to take photos by the Christmas trees. Christine (whom I had never met) said nothing about rules or purchase requirements and explicitly told me I could take photos. Afterward, my clients warmed up with their baby in the car and planned to cut a tree, but Christine assumed we weren't buying anything and escalated the situation for no reason. I left with my clients down the hill to take a few last shots and as I was getting into my car, Christine brought her husband Mike down in his truck to "scare me off". They flew past me, tried to block me from leaving the road, yelled at me to "never be seen on the property again," and accused me of "taking photos without buying anything" as if that were a crime. It was aggressive, threatening and completely unprofessional. This is a farm open to the public - visitors are NOT required to make a purchase just for stepping onto the property. If they have rules for photos, they can communicate them like adults instead of resorting to intimidation and theatrics. I won't be returning (for my own safety), and others should think twice before giving them business. If you do visit, apparently you'd better buy something immediately, since that seems to be their unspoken rule.
