Rating: 4.5 Came to…read morestopped by for maple creemee which a must try staples of VT and NH. This was one location that had good rating and was on the way to our next destination. It's a small local shop that offers maple creemee as well as other desserts, maple syrups and gifts. They have parking lot in the back which is shared with a furniture shop. They also have portable restroom in the back if you need to use the restroom which is hard to find in the area. The inside is small and has few gifts like maple syrup and some cups. The price on the gifts were bit pricy. We ended up getting maple cheese cake slice and maple creemee with waffle cone to share. The cheese cake was good but i didn't quite taste much of maple syrup flavor. Maple creemee was good as i remember when i had them in NH. Creamy, sweet and has that distinct maple syrup flavor. The staff were nice and service was quick. Overall it's a good place to stop for maple creemee if you are in the area.

When busy, order through the window outside the shop~ there's some different options including sizes and versions but I noticed they have cheesecake maple! Ordered it and I got.

The sample station at the front of the store is an excellent feature - it's what convinced me I needed to purchase a bottle of maple rum hot sauce!

For a small…read morespace, they have a little of everything, fresh, organic and local produce, packaged goods, vegan, dairy, beer&wine, bakery, herbal remedies, meats and deli. + Ambiance - small foot print - smaller than Sprouts or TJs but packed with goodies. It's clean, well organized and natural. ++ Goods - a little of everything including organic, local and packaged products. They buy from local farmers and producers. If you are a foodie and are from outside of VT, this is where you are most likely to find your labels or substitutes. ++ Service - very helpful and friendly. Most are informed much more so than at a regular grocer. They'll special order too. - Price - Annual membership is $20 and depends how much you shop, you may/may not get an annual check/dividend. Their prices are generally higher than already very high VT food prices. + Parking - private lot shared with the bagel / bakery. For a small town, it's great to have this Co-Op!

(rather that the ton of oil other places use). the had samples of their maple walnuts, candy, donuts and other things. everything tasted great!

My grandmother was nuts about honey. She had some every morning for breakfast with toast…read more She had this huge 20 pound vat of honey from somewhere in VT. It was good. Fast forward 25 years. I have a family now, and I'm eating organic, etc... And I want good, organic raw honey. So after a few misses I remember Champlain Valley Apiaries! Google and my order is on its way. The raw crystallized honey is fantastic & my favorite. The liquid honey is also tasty. I like that the honey is sweet but not cloyingly so like store-bought brands. It has a flavor I think is superior. Now I can share this with my family.

In between orders we have tried other raw honeys but none compare. It is worth the shipping cost for it to come from VT to AZ. Not only is the honey extraordinary but any contact with the people that work there has been outstanding. If you love honey, try this - you won't be disappointed!

This shop was so fun and quaint, the perfect place to pick up a gift for someone special…read more Like many gift shops, there are treasures thoughtfully displayed every which way, up and down and over in this charming shop. Towels, art, jewelry, pottery, stuff for kids, stuff for plant lovers, stuff for cat lovers, dog lovers, you name it, if you can't find something to buy in this shop for yourself or someone else, I'd be shocked. On top of that, the back porch has a WONDERFUL view of the town waterfall. The porch is screened in, but it won't trouble your photos any. IF you're near Middlebury, stop in for a bit and see the waterfall and the many items they offer.

Please eat it, wherever you can find it (they distribute their small batches to Boston, NYC, and Portland ME.) Yum.
