The Maple Shop on Main Street is unique to the area and a must see when in Chester. If you like maple syrup then you’ll love this shop with its selection of wonderful tasting maple syrup from the owners family run business Red Leaf Hollow Farms in Richford, VT. They also offer other maple sugar products, clothing made in Vermont, and all the equipment (except the maple trees) you’ll need to collect sap and make your own maple syrup. This past Saturday we drove out past Long Valley towards Califon and were able to see sap being collected in bucks hung from a grove of maple trees, and then stopped by the Maple Shop in Chester on our way home.

Alstede Farm is simply amazing! The fields are vast with an assortment of sunflowers, apples,, pumpkins, and other fruits/vegetables. I came to pick apples but left with those and everything else. The farm is huge and you could walk but the wagon ride is way more fun. The fair portion has delicious corn, apple cider, and if your over 21 theres wine tasting. Winning!The store carries a variety of foods like cheeses, coffee, maple syrups, desserts and more. The farm sell their own personal products, which are delicious. All the while there is a live band playing upbeat tunes. Almost forgot to mention the sweet and friendly animals. They come right up to you to say hello and of course are looking for a snack. I truly enjoyed myself ans will definitely go next year, its worth the $25 fee.
