Sugarbush Farm: Cheese, Maple Syrup, and More
During our recent vacation, we had the opportunity to visit Sugarbush Farm in the scenic state of Vermont. Nestled in the heart of the Green Mountain State, this charming farm offered a delightful mix of culinary treats, educational experiences, and picturesque landscapes that made our visit truly memorable.
Tasting Vermont’s Finest: Cheese and Maple Syrup
One of the highlights of our trip was sampling the farm’s famous cheeses and maple syrup. As soon as we walked into the tasting room, we were greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of freshly made cheese and the rich, sweet scent of maple syrup. The variety of cheeses available was impressive, ranging from mild and creamy to sharp and tangy. Each bite was a testament to Vermont’s rich dairy heritage. The maple syrup tasting was equally delightful. We had the opportunity to try different flavors of syrup. I bought some to bring home in a cute maple leaf shaped bottle.
Exploring the Gift Shop and Grounds
The gift shop was a treasure trove of Vermont souvenirs and gifts, perfect for bringing a piece of our experience back home. From handcrafted maple products and locally made cheeses to charming trinkets and keepsakes, there was something for everyone. We couldn’t resist picking up a few items to remember our visit by and to share with friends and family.
For families with children, Sugarbush Farm offers a wonderful playground area. The kids’ playground features a swing set and vintage dump trucks, providing a fun and safe space for the little ones to burn off some energy while parents explore the rest of the farm.
Sugarbush Farm also offers educational opportunities for visitors. We toured their sugar house, where we learned about the process of making maple syrup.
Nature’s Beauty: Goats, Day Lilies, and Monarch Butterflies
As we strolled through the farm, we were delighted to encounter a group of friendly goats. These curious and playful animals added an extra layer of charm to our visit, and we spent some time watching their antics and taking photos.
The farm was also home to a beautiful display of orange day lilies, which were in full bloom during our visit. Their vibrant color added a splash of beauty to the landscape. To my camera’s delight, Monarch butterflies were flitting around the flowers, adding a touch of magic to the scene. I couldn’t resist photographing these stunning flowers and butterflies, capturing the essence of summer in Vermont.
Our visit to Sugarbush Farm was a part of perfect Vermont day, we also visit 3 covered bridges and 2 more farms. Whether you’re a foodie looking to sample some of the state’s finest products, a nature lover eager to explore the great outdoors, or a family searching for a fun and educational outing, Sugarbush Farm has something to offer. If you find yourself in Vermont, we highly recommend a visit to this charming and welcoming farm.
Sugarbush Farm sound like a place I would love to visit! I mean cheese and maple syrup? Say no more. The playground sounds very nice for kids.
I just looked it up on the map. We may have come close. Over ten years ago, we did a road trip, starting in Montreal, visiting Burlington, VT and proceeding to Jefferson, NH, where we wanted to visit Santa’s village. It was closed 🙁
