We visited Sugarbush Farm (Sugarbush) last fourth of July. I was a little concerned they would be closed, but they were open. The first big surprise was I expected Sugarbush to be right off the main road in Woodstock. It is actually a few miles off the beaten path, and getting there actually happens to be a beautiful trip itself. The thing I remember most was how friendly the family who own the farm are. They rightfully believe that if you see their farm and the care they put into their products, that you will have a greater appreciation for their products. The farm and the land on which it is located are breath-taking. Their sugarhouse is open and has great signage so that you understand the syrup-making process. There is also a movie about syrup-making. Our next stop was the store. I appreciated being able to try all four grades of syrup to see which I liked the best. In addition, they let us sample their delicious cheese. The store has a large selection of products, almost all of which are advance for sampling first. We also walked through the woods, where the maple trees are located to see how they harvest the sap. I recommend visiting Sugarbrush, especially if you have kids. It's an unforgettable stop in which you get to experience Vermont.

For a Vermont farm experience we enjoyed our visit to Sugarbush Farm. They had a cheese tasting area, store with goodies for sale, farm animals to visit and a maple sugar house. It was great to try all the cheeses they made and learn about the Maple Sugar process. It is not a large place so it can get a bit busy on a nice Fall day. They did make an effort for Covid safety, limiting the # of people inside, masks etc.

Waaayyy out there in the middle of the woods, so you really have to want to get there! Off the main roads, depending on which direction you come from it's off asphalt and on dirt roads...but go there! Look for all the yellow signs as you get close! You won't be disappointed, friendly people and more than willing to give you as many samples of their cheeses and syrup as you want! BTW...GREAT cheeses! They also have a "sugar house" to learn about getting maple sugar from trees, a few horses and goats to view and a nice hiking trail in the woods. Beautiful VT grounds to see the foliage!
