So we got our Thanksgiving turkey at The Green Mountain Girls Farm, and it was the best turkey I've…read moreever made. Even my sister said so! The day before, my husband picked up a big 22-pound bird that had just been butchered a few days ago. It was so fresh that I had a few tiny feathers floating around in my brine. It was so fresh that I could just barely separate the skin from the breast meat to rub in the butter and fresh thyme, which the Girls also so generously provided. It was so fresh I didn't really have to tie together the legs or pin down the wings. It was so fresh that you could *taste* it. And this was (or had been) one healthy turkey! You could tell by the quality of the skin, the texture of the uncooked meat, the size of the bones!!! Man, this turkey had been doing some weight-bearing exercises or something! Huge leg bones. Wings you could make a meal of. I can't wait to taste the broth. Yet the meat was as tender as it was flavorful. Now, with fresh turkey from a farm, you're gonna want to brine it. My 22-lb bird fit in the brining bag from the grocery store beautifully. I put in 1.5 cups of salt, a cup of sugar, and about 2 gallons of water, and I let her sit for about 18 hours. I rinsed her real well; patted her dry; stuffed her with onion, carrots, and celery; covered her with a pound of bacon; wrapped her up tightly in tinfoil; and then I let her roast at 425 degrees for about 3 hours, unwrapped her, and let her brown for about 30 more. Perfect. Tomorrow I'm making turkey pot pie and turkey stock--with locally grown carrots, onions, garlic, and celery. I love knowing that my turkey had been well-cared for and loved, that she is about as organic as you can get, and that her purchase supported my favorite local farm girls. And my guests loved that tender, tasty turkey.

The women who own and run this business have created an attractive space through hard work and…read moreheartfelt investment, but after buying a few items from their farm store, I would say that it's unlikely that I would make a habit of shopping here. If no one is available to show me where items are in the disorganized room or to help me use my credit card, I would be at a loss. Prices were high, as they should be, but convenience should be elevated as well. Good luck to them as they sort these issues out.

I'd love if they added Adirondack merch too though. Lots of seating, Adirondack-style chairs to stretch your legs out on if you're taking a break from driving. There is also a kids playground and a dog area as well as a small area for everyone else to walk around. Overall, it was a great and easy stop!

A Brie like cheese, a pungent delicious blue cheese and a smooth but distinct hard cheese as well as a nice fruit jam , some slices of salami and actual fresh green grapes .

Also, the farm fresh breakfast is incredible with Meghan & Tyler being the best hosts of any B&B I've been to in recent years.

The location was fantastic, right next to a Kinney Drugs and Tops, with a Stewart's basically across the street, making it convenient to pickup the few extra things we needed during our stay. Our room was cute too, with a record player. There wasn't a TV, so it felt like a step back in time to just relax. Great place to stay if you need to in the area.

If you're set on staying here because of the price, be sure to bring toiletries, as nothing but toilet paper and minimal soap is provided, "minimal" meaning one bar the size of my pinky finger for four people. The cleaning guy doesn't actually clean the bathroom, so bring some baby wipes, too. One thing we did appreciate is that it's off the main road, so it's quiet and private.
