Saltbox catered our wedding in rural Vermont a few weeks ago, and my husband and I (as well as our…read moreguests) couldn't be happier! My husband and I are both vegetarian and good food obsessed, so when we first started planning our wedding, we knew good food was a top priority. It was important to us to have a vegetarian wedding that was delicious and vegetable-focused (and not just boring pastas or tofu steaks). We also knew that lots of our guests were meat-eaters and we wanted to make sure everyone walked away excited about the food. Well, Saltbox completely pulled it off. They worked patiently with us at every step. We gave them the adjective "Ottolenghi-esque" at the beginning and a few other notes about our taste, and they ran with it from there, delivering a draft menu that was amazing and then revising it according to our feedback. Throughout, they were easy to work with and extremely professional, and they pulled off of the details on the day beautifully, with everyone leaving happily stuffed and thrilled. (They even accommodated our gluten-free and dairy-free guests with delicious alternatives.) The waitstaff was also fantastic and helped ensure that my husband and I got enough to eat amidst all the busy-ness and dancing. Now, just a few weeks later, we are constantly hearing from friends and family about how great the food was (the best they've ever had by some accounts), asking for Saltbox's name, and remarking about how they completely forgot that they were eating vegetarian for the night because every dish was so delicious. I have been to lots of weddings and frankly, most of the food is not memorable. Saltbox's food absolutely was.

We could not have asked for a better farm to table event than the one we got with Saltbox Farm. We're already brain storming holiday parties so that we can work with them again!

Extremely Disappointing Customer Service. Absolutely No Compassion for Families…read more I do NOT normally write negative reviews and am also the first to follow rules at any place. However, my experience today coupled with my mother-in-law's last week has compelled me to share this. Last week, my mother-in-law brought my two-year-old son and his 95-year-old great-grandfather to the farm specifically so my son could enjoy the tractor-themed playground. They did not necessarily want to pick apples but were amenable to the bag fee simply for the allure of the tractor park. In the chaos of mobilizing a toddler and an elderly man with a walker, she understandably forgot her wallet in the car. After politely asking the woman at the entrance if she could pay on her way out, she was sternly told no and that she had to pay in that instant. She had to trek back uphill to her car to get her wallet only to purchase a $32 apple-picking bag. Charging a family $32 when their only intention is to let a toddler enjoy the playground with his 95-year-old great-grandfather feels incredibly unreasonable. Unfortunately, my experience today was even worse. I happened to be in the area with my two-year-old and decided to stop by because he had loved the tractor playground so much. The farm was closing in 20 minutes, and I thought it was perfectly fair to ask whether he could play for those remaining 20 minutes before we left. My son was absolutely ecstatic when he saw the tractors. He was pointing, cheering, and practically jumping with excitement. All he wanted was a few minutes to play. The same woman at the entrance flatly refused to let us in. She was incredibly rude and unpleasant, showing absolutely no empathy or willingness to accommodate a simple request. I wasn't asking for special treatment, extended hours, or anything that would inconvenience the business. And they were unlikely to make another $32 in the remaining 20 mins of their business day. I was simply asking whether my two-year-old could enjoy the playground for 20 minutes before closing. Instead, I had to turn around and walk away with a heartbroken toddler who couldn't understand why he wasn't allowed to see the tractors he was so excited about. I completely understand that businesses need policies and operating hours. What I don't understand is why those policies have to be enforced with such hostility and a complete absence of common sense or compassion. Especially when we are talking about wholesome PLAYGROUNDS! They should be FREE! These were two opportunities to show a little kindness: one involving a 95-year-old great-grandfather spending time with his great-grandson, and another involving an excited two-year-old asking for 20 minutes on a playground. Both were met with the same unpleasant attitude. It's a shame that such a wonderful place is overshadowed by such an unwelcoming experience. Families come to places like Shelburne Farm to create happy memories with their children, not to be treated like inconveniences. I sincerely hope management takes a hard look at how visitors are being treated, particularly families with young children and elderly relatives. We will not be returning, and I would strongly discourage other families from visiting if they're expecting a warm, welcoming, family-friendly experience.

We booked a small 15 person wedding luncheon last weekend and received horrible service from the function manager as well as management. Do not book a function there. My meal was rancid but I didn't want to embarrass anyone by saying that at the table. When I called to tell them the manager said I was lying because that's her favorite meal. The stuffing smelled and tasted like it was from last thanksgiving. I noticed many people just pushing their food around on the main entree. She said they would have only refunded the money if I spoke up at the time in front of everyone. But that's the kind of class these people have. Also, very high room rental rate which they lie about on the phone and tell you it is just a deposit to hold the room and will be refunded later on your bill so long as you show up for the event. Then after they get the payment they send an email with a link that says it will not be refunded whether you show up or not. That it's not actually a deposit to hold the room. That it's a room rental fee. Non refundable. Then they insinuate that you should tip on the meal AND the room rental fee that they lie to people about. A shame because they've tarnished a long held good reputation of a charming historic location by employing highly unethical people who lie.
