They had a nice selection of goods and we grabbed some groceries to keep us fed as we explored Franconia without a plan. I grabbed a (huge) box of mini chocolate cookies from the bakery area and they were absolutely delicious! I would've eaten the whole box of cookies if it were socially acceptable. They also sold coffee in a little coffee room off to the side, and you could add flavors and stuff to your cup. They have a nice little set up here! It's clean and convenient! They also have some New Hampshire and Franconia souvenirs if you wanted those, too.

I love their cheese. It is like nothing I have ever tasted. I bring home a few blocks and become a little absurd over how my family uses it. This cheese makes me very happy. I will eventually make it to the store and imagine it will be very typical of a very small business in rural Nh... which is to say... charming... and also not amazon.

Having moved to the area recently, I purchased a full membership. My plan was to do most of my…read moreshopping here and supplement with Shaw's (which I hate) and Walmart (for paper goods, etc). Unfortunately, I've purchased a few things including vegetables and snacks that have been old/stale. Two examples (of many): an english cucumber went moldy in my fridge after 3 days. A bag of relatively expensive cheese popcorn tasted old and stale. And I paid a premium price for these items! On the other hand, they do sell some bread from local bakeries and the deli and prepared foods look good. The beer dept is awesome! So, my plan is to buy carefully and selectively going forward. Clearly the products don't either turn from volume nor do they get removed from shelves before they're old - so be selective if you shop here and look closely and products and dates.

Bought a little something from Modern Forest Designs - and I guess that's my only gripe, is that I find most of the vendors are selling either flowers or fruits and vegetables - stuff we can't bring back across the border. But that's a "me" problem as a Canadian. Hopefully I can return at least once this year!

The concept behind this farm is super sweet (ba dum tiss). What I mean by that is that there is a…read morelot of trust involved here, as they utilize a farm share system. Sort of like subscribing to those businesses that send you cool mystery packages, a farm share is where you pay to support the farm and in return you get a share of the farm's harvest, whatever they end up harvesting. You will need to pick it up yourself of course. Jules invited me to tag along with her to pick up the farm share harvest for the week. No one was really there to monitor everything that day (we were actually the only ones present at the moment). The farm people just left the harvested goods there in a barn and you sign off on the list that you picked up your share! This time around we got scallions, kale, and scallions. There is even a barter box where you can leave behind items you do not want and in return, you can take any items that you want.

And Sweetland is the first place that came to mind. This place is working super hard to bring local, nutritious meats and produce to the community. On top of that, they do everything they can to actually build that community and it's resilience. In normal years, their CSA pickup and you pick crops for members are a really awesome way to meet and visit with neighbors, and they also host a variety of awesome events and let you wander around the beautiful farm. Chris and Norah and the crew are also really kind and welcoming. This year, despite being crazy busy filling their sold out CSA shares, they also put lots of time and effort into starting a grocery pick up service for community members to be able to get food safely. I worked with them on this project, and was amazed by how hard working, caring, and innovative they are. They really cared about their team, other local farmers, and their community. It's very inspiring to be around them.
