I just found out about Fat Toad Farm-a local Vermont Family Farm and purchased a small batch of:…read more COLD BREW COFFEE FLAVORED CARAMEL! It was packaged in their own hand stamped classy gift bag with a wooden serving spoon attached! What a wonderful concept....artisan made caramel sourced with goat's milk in the following flavors: Original, Vanilla Bean, Vermont Maple, Cold Brew Coffee, Spicy Dark Chocolate, Irish Whiskey Cream, Salted Bourbon, and Cinnamon. What I LOVE: That a Vermont Family raises their own goats, harvests the goats milk, teams up with other locally sourced entrepreneurs to create a variety of caramel flavors! They also offer locally sourced honey from a small batch raw honey apiary called Hera's Bees. Which sustainably harvests honey from their hives while allowing enough for each harvested hive to sustain itself through the cold Vermont winters! Thank you Judith for nicely packaging and sending me the Cold Brew Coffee Caramel and Hera's Bees Honey! ABOUT THE CARAMELS- Ingredients: Original: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, baking soda Salted Bourbon: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, Kentucky straight Bourbon, baking soda, sea salt Vanilla Bean: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, baking soda, French Bourbon vanilla beans Vermont Maple: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, Cold Hollow Vermont Pure Maple Syrup, baking soda Cold Brew Coffee: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, Vermont Artisan Cold Brew, baking soda Spicy Dark Chocolate: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, Taza Organic Stone Ground Chocolate Liquor, baking soda, ground cayenne Irish Whiskey Cream: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, heavy cream, Irish Whiskey, baking soda, sea salt *Irish Whiskey Cream contains cow's cream Cinnamon: Nothing but goat's milk, pure cane sugar, baking soda, organic cinnamon sticks Source: https://www.fattoadfarm.com/the-petit-caramel-jar-gift-bag-2oz/

We were greeted by Judith's 3 dogs, what a welcoming! They wanted their ball to be thrown. One of the last reviews stated they were generally there 10-4 on weekends so we took a chance, and I am glad we did. Judith shared their story, invited us to check out the production facility just over the ridge and even go see the goats a few miles away at the goat creamery / dairy. I have always been a fan of caramel, but had no idea you could take it to this level of flavor. We bought the 2oz jar sampler packs to return home to Pennsylvania. The salted bourbon and Vermont maple caramels were my favorite, my wife enjoyed the cold brew caramel and cinnamon. We plan to cut up some fresh apples when we get home to enjoy of new found heaven and remember just how nice Judith was and how she shared a piece of her life with us. Vermont is a beautiful place!

TLDR: A Cheese lovers dream. ___…read more On my trip to Burlington, VT I knew we had to stop here. I've had a few of their cheeses and absolutly loved them. This was actually the first stop of the cheese tour. Walking in, the place is more of an office, than a factory. Their production is done elsewhere. Out of all the creameries we visited you could tell this was hands down the most professional and polished opperation. The receptionist at the front welcomed us with, "Hey! You guys here for some cheese?" Why yes, yes we are. She told us she'd be right back and returned with the most wonderful cheese board I have ever seen. Amazing samples! Various cheeses, butter and creme fraiche She showed us a price sheet and we went a little crazy. We bought a ton of cheese, butter and creme. It was actually super affordable since you saved on markup of retail price and shipping. We had an epic cheese night with friends when we returned home and I made the most incredible dessert with strawberries and the creme fraiche. The only thing that didn't make it home was the ash rippened cheese, which was so stinky I couldn't risk it stinking up my clothes, but one of the most delicious cheeses you will ever try!

Very good cheese all around! There is no doubt that this creamery makes some fantastic goat cheese…read more This is especially true due to there being very few goat cheese options in my city of Pittsburgh beyond the standard supermarket brand. This cheese doesn't taste like foodservice. It takes like genuinely delicious artisan cheese. As far as I know, this particular location on Yelp is not open to the public. Maybe it was at one point, but newer reviews point to it being closed now. So I probably wouldn't recommend making the drive here just for some free samples, especially considering the cheese isn't expensive anyway. I was able to acquire some from a local Aldi for just a few dollars ($3-4, I believe). I was quite blown away. The cheese is so creamy and all around perfect. No grittiness, perfectly pure flavor that truly makes it feel like an upscale experience. This particular cheese is a dip, but I ate it straight from the container because that's how good it is. Plus, it's also quite light! 45 calories for 2 tablespoons, and around 250 for the entire container! I will say, though, it's tough to get your hands on this product sometimes. All in all, I highly recommend giving the Vermont Creamery's cheeses a try. The goat cheese dip is fantastic, and I enjoyed it straight out of the container. I'm sure their other products are just as delicious, and they make for a great gift, appetizer, or snack.

This is probably what heaven looks like... 20+ linear feet of cheese sampling!! But as much as I…read moreloved the cheese sampling there were other great parts of the store, plenty of other local treasures and very friendly staff. My only suggestion would be to have more consistent sampling toothpick dispensers. The ones you have to turn the dial were the best (sanitary). Also that whole table could benefit from a sneeze guard. When visitors come to see the Quechee gorge, I always thought it was a large crevice of rushing water, but now I know its actually at the Cabot sampling table. This old lady choked on a piece of cheese as she was gorging herself with some aged cheddar, subsequently coughed over a section of the tasting table - luckily all the cheese is covered.

All their pancakes are amazing, even though with my sodium issue I only get a taste of my husband's. My ole favorites were Pumpkin and their classic Sugar & Spice with the perfect amount of sweetness and spice mix. I wish they would serve saltless grits! That would make this girl happy! I only eat a couple of the potatoes, they are very tasty however salt is used or the rest of you wouldn't be eating them....am I right! Of course, my eggs were cooked perfectly! I keep forgetting you have ice cream! They also have many local theme items for sale and don't forget to not head home with Vermont's local Maple Syrup! If you came in March you will get to see the sap being processed into syrup!

Our usual day trip for pancakes spot is in New Hampshire. Sadly, they are closed on Wednesdays, so…read morewe needed an alternative venue for our pancake and maple syrup tradition. After searching reviews across four states, Maple Sugar & Vermont Spice was clearly at the top of the list. Three hours after leaving the Boston suburbs, we pulled into the parking lot. The scenery was beautiful we were hungry, and we were happy to be promptly seated by our friendly host. Every positive thing you read in the reviews is true. The staff is friendly. The food is plentiful and wonderful. However... we were not seated in the main dining room. We were brought to an auxiliary room on the west side of the building. The most dominant feature of the room was the white interior sloped ceiling, barn-like wood paneling occupying about two-thirds of the horizontal portion of the walls, and a few coffee mugs and small photos resting atop the paneling. There was a small casement window in the center of the southwest wall. This room had all the charm and natural light of a church basement in Indiana. The comparison to the main dining room is stark. The main room has a view of the grill, and is filled with all the syrup and souvenirs they could possibly fit into the space. The main room is as funky and fun as the auxiliary room is sad and depressing. Will we go back to Maple Sugar & Vermont Spice? Absolutely. The food and service was wonderful. However, we would insist on sitting in the main dining room. If you go, you should, too.

This past trip was to lay my grandmother to rest so everything we did felt bittersweet, as though we don't know if we'd ever be coming back. Dakin Farm was as wonderful as ever. From the assortment of cheeses and honey, to being able to see the bees working away as shown in the video I uploaded, this will always be a special spot. Their honey sticks of various flavors are so, so good. If you don't buy some of their honey then you're truly missing out. It can get pretty busy in there but the staff is always kind. If you're a fan of fresh fudge, I recommend trying some of that too! We'll always have a soft spot for Dakin Farm.

Such wonderful complexity and texture- I cannot remember liking any American cheeses as much as these. We tried a wide selection of the cheeses, including the cloth bound heart, Oma, Highlander, Willoughby (I just love this one- almost as much as Conundrum), Little Hosmer, Eligo- all were fantastic. I would have ordered more but lots of the cheeses were sold out. What a treat these cheeses are, but even better is that they come from a business that has a beautiful philosophy behind it. I recommend you read about Jasper Hill online if you have not already done so. It made me love the cheeses even more. I can get a few of their cheeses at Costco or Whole Foods, but some of them seem to be only available from Jasper Hill itself. I found it very easy to order from them online and they pack their product with great care. If I could give them 10 stars I would!
