Singleton's is an awesome general store. A must visit if you are in the Okemo mountain area…read more Their deli counter is robust and sandwiches are amazing. They offer daily lunch specials, many of which feature their fantastic smoked meats. Their smoked sausages and bacon are delicious too. As you would expect of a general store, they offer a little bit of everything. Clothing, food, liquor, etc. Their efforts to support other local small businesses shows their dedication to the community. The staff are really friendly as well. I loved everything about Singleton's....came back three days in a row just to order their lunch special and pick up some odds and ends. Even ran my dogs around in their snowy picnic area outside. I highly recommend this business and would definitely comeback, if I vacation in the area again. Thank you!

This is the best (hidden gem) of a butcher shop in all of Rutland County. They have the best…read morefreshly ground (on demand) hamburger. They hand trim all the gristle out, so it always tastes great, and it is reasonably priced. I am on the Paleo Diet, and their ground sirloin is super lean and has a great flavor and I eat a ton of it and am never disappointed. They get all sorts of other things in from time to time, as well, including corned beef and country hams depending on the time of the year. They also have all sorts of steaks, pork products, and chicken--and can special order you pretty much everything. Tom and Tess are also fun to talk to, and are generous and good-natured. This is the best place to get meat around, don't even bother with the supermarket--that stuff is garbage compared to what you can get here. They take EBT and cash, and I think checks once they get to know you, but no credit cards. They're located in a tiny garage on a side road (Second Street) in downtown Fair Haven, but are only a couple of minutes off of Route 4. Check them out--you will not be disappointed!

Came with our Vermont Italian Culture Club for Agricola's monthly Sunday Lunch. It's as copious as…read moretheir dinners and you practically roll away just as well fed. The menu changes monthly, so this is what we had, but your menu will differ. We started with the variety of Italian in-house made charcuterie. Delightful, thin slices of cured meat that cannot be found better locally. That was followed with tartelettes of cheese. Warm, creamy cheese custard in a small pie shell. Our third course was Crostini stuffed with lamb, pork, beets and goat cheese. I really liked this combination, as did the others at our table. Fourth was Cannelloni with ground pork, tomato sauce and bechamel. Delicate and tasty handmade pasta stuffed with the meat and sauce. Fifth was Porchetta (pork stuffed with...pork). How can you not like pork inside pork? This was served as different cuts of tender, roasted pork plus a side of heirloom tomatoes in balsamic vinegar. For dessert, we had a light and fluffy lemon cake. I'd brought a bottle of limoncello from my favorite distillery in West Virginia (@BloomerySweetshine) to share and it paired well. Ale and her companions are always a delight. It's well worth the experience.

How does one begin to review a place when the experience is beyond words?…read more I suppose that I can start by saying that the dinner at Agricola Farm can be described as no less than a physical and intellectual journey. I mean it. I have never experienced something like this in my life- and I have even eaten in Italy! The adventurous evening stars around 5:30PM. Dinner club members (you can purchase a membership on the Farm website- but remember to get it in advance) meet in the main farm house and excitedly introduce themselves to each other. Once everyone has gathered, Ale- she does all the butchering of the animals herself!, takes us all around the farm. She shows us the sheep, the pigs, and of course, the chickens. The atmosphere is one that clearly evidences a strong relationship between growing the animals for food, and yet, at the same time, giving them a loving home. I can honestly tell you that I have never seen happier animals before. Ale really has a way with them and when you visit, ask her to demonstrate her sheep call- she's got that packed down! After the farm tour, we were all seated in the double farm style living room. Most of the guests came in pairs. I came alone. Was it awkward? It was anything but. I strongly recommend going alone the first time that you go so that you can really experience the environment for yourself. Step out side of your comfort zone and you will be surprised at who you can meet. I was seated at a table with some fascinating folks and the dinner discussion ranged from how amazingly delicious the food was, to our hopes and dreams. I can honestly tell you that we all entered this farm house dinner as strangers and left as friends. The fist part of the meal, the Antipasto was served sometime after 6PM. With a view of the kitchen and the chef, the wait for the next fix (Primo) was suspenseful (in a good way!). The food that was served was unlike anything I have ever had. It was literally some of the best food I have ever tasted. After the Primo came the Insalata, Secondo, Dolce, and finally the Digestivi- each dinner club features 5 courses but they vary based on the theme. The theme of this dinner was Ear to Tail so we actually had the pleasure of trying every part of the pig; a pate made of pig's heart, some pig's tongue, some crispy pig's ear, and even the meat around the pig's jaw! Though it can sound off putting, I swear to you up and down that all of it was soooo good, sooo fresh, and so well flavored. All of the food was prepared fresh by Chef RIchard Witting and Ale right in front of our eyes. Between the different courses, dinner chat, and Ale's descriptions of all the dishes and Italian food culture, it was 10PM before we even knew it! After our epic meal was over we all had a chance to pay compliments directly to both Ale and Chef RIchard Witting. It was an intimate type of conversation that you will not have the chance to experience anywhere but here. I urge you to do yourself a favor. Visit the Agricola Farm website, buy yourself the dinner club for the month of June and spend the next few weeks anticipating your adventure. Go into this dinner with a big open mind. Leave your expectations behind and prepare to be amazed, delighted, and beyond satisfied!

We called to try and find out who the gift was from so we could thank them - got an answering machine in the middle of the day. Three days later they still can't be bothered to return our call.
