Artisan Park

Sample cheese at the VT Farmstead Cheese Co and amazing jam at Blake Hill across the street.  Even if it’s raining you should try a maple creamee at the Vt Farmstead Cheese Co.  After sampling, buy your favorite to take home and remember the experience.  I like the little sample jars at Blake Hill.
