The Adamant Coop is a charming little all-in-one shop/bakery/post office for the tiny town's…read moreresidents - located in a historic house, and sitting at the intersection of about 4 dirt roads in what seems like the middle of nowhere. So how did I come to discover this local gem? Apparently most outsiders that stop in are lost and looking for directions (according to their website) - but exploring this little village has been on my bucket list for ages - so I deliberately sought it out and all bc of a movie I saw many years ago LOL! And based on the responses from the staff when I asked about the movie, I'm probably one of the only ones that's ever visited for that reason haha! The film was What Lies Beneath with Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. One of the actors describes the town as "that artsy little village down 7" (meaning highway 7 - one of Vermont's main arteries)...and at one point in the movie, she goes to Adamant and explores a little - it looked adorable and who doesn't love an artsy village in the fall right? So I had to come see it - and the actual place IRL is nothing like the movie portrayed of course (thanks Hollywood :P) - and it's not even anywhere near Highway 7 - but that's bc they didn't even film it here haha!! Nonetheless- it was well worth the stop and I'm so glad it worked out the way it did! They have all sorts of treats and goodies and local arts and crafts - and it's such a cozy little shop in a beautiful setting surrounded by lakes, streams, and fall colors! Residents in the community take turns baking homemade goodies for the Coop to sell so I scored some gigantic ginger cookies...and just after I arrived, another local resident brought in a fresh pumpkin spice cake and was slicing it up so of course I had to get a piece of that too! All of it was amazing! I also grabbed some other snack items made locally - some street corn dip that was fantastic - ate every last bit of that on my trip and thought about coming back for more lol. And also a unique treat I'd never seen before - chocolate covered sunflower seeds!! Oh they were just wonderful - absolutely loved those! They also have jars of various locally grown and pickled veggies and such, as well as fresh brewed coffee and all sorts of local art pieces, jewelry, and even t-shirts! The Coop also serves as the town's post office. There's even a small park across the street right next to the little rushing brook with seating. It really is such a cute place - there's some cozy seating by their little wood-burning stove and the staff were just lovely to chat to. There's also a funny little bit of history about the town's name - originally it was named Sodom - and the pond across the street is still called Sodom Pond - but apparently one of the first preachers in the town (and a few other residents) refused to get their mail delivered to a town named Sodom so they were "adamant" about changing the name haha! Such an interesting little side adventure- if you're in the area, it's very much worth a stop!

I'm updating with a review post move :)…read more I ended up using my unit at Linbrooke Storage from May/June 2012 to July 2013. I cannot stress how happy I was with customer service and quality, and how friendly they are! While moving I had a very difficult to maneuver 26' long truck and the owner was SO kind to help back it up safely (I am not experienced with such a large vehicle and did not want to accidentally damage anything backing up!). He went the extra mile in customer service during a stressful move! I also purchased boxes, packing tape, etc at far more reasonable prices than other locations in the Barre-Montpelier area and would suggest checking them out for packing materials when moving even if you don't have a unit with them. Packing up my storage unit, giving it a quick sweep, and taking care of business was simple and stress-free. I have moved to a very small town in the south and even storage units here at bigger areas cost a minimum of $125 for much smaller units than I rented at Linbrooke. There just simply isn't a better priced and easier to access location in the area with staff on site during day hours, many other local places don't have offices or anyone easy to contact. If you live in the Barre City/Town, South Barre, Williamstown, Berlin, Graniteville area this is where you want to go...I'd say even as far as Montpelier.

I was told they replaced my iPhone battery with an actual Apple battery, which Best Buy showed me was not correct. and the battery they used was actually unstable and considered hazardous material. They also severely damaged my phone when replacing the back glass by not replacing all screws, internal panels or even used proper adhesive. This left my phone vulnerable and promptly suffered water damage. This company has zero business being in operation and everyone should look elsewhere for proper electronic device repairs.
