1. Bent Hill Brewery

Reviewed By Campfiver - Brampton, Ontario
Because this brewery was close to where we were staying we decided to visit it. driving along on the packed dirt road we were wondering if the GPS had made a mistake. We made it to the farm and a small sign at the entrance of the driveway told us we were in the right spot. First thing we saw will driving up to the building were the hops on long posts. We parked the truck and a young man told us to go the the back of the building where the brewery is located. This is not your typical tourist attraction with all the fancy trimmings. This is a working farm and brewery. Both men are very knowledgeable about the beers/hops. The nice thing is also that they started growing their own hops and source local ingredients. We got to taste a few different beers, but there is a nice variety. We enjoyed it, and the very good rating is because of the knowledge and willingness to talk and explain. As far as we know there is no tours of the hop garden, it is basically just a tasting. They have been in operation for a bout 1/1/2 year so still a young company.

Brand new facility just down the road from our house. Solar panels on roof and lovingly stacked wood in creative round stacks. The sugar house interior afforded plenty of room to look around and there was staff on hand to explain the very shiny apparatus creating the "sweet stuff".

My husband, brother-in-law and I drove to the Fat Toad Farm on one of our scenic drives while visiting Vermont. The drive was absolutely breathtaking with the fall foliage at near peak. We love visiting farm stores when we travel and this one did not disappoint. The tour was not only interesting but also educational. Steve explained the milking process, the unique personalities lof the goats and even how they are named. We watched the employees making and bottling the amazing caramel (cajeta) and were able to taste any or all of the flavors that they produce. Since we are traveling by air, Judith took my order and is shipping it home for us. Very friendly owners, anxious to answer all of our questions and made us feel very welcome. This is a must do if you are in the Brookfield/Randolph area.

Reviewed By taftdev - Randolph Center, Vermont
Free admissions for day visits and nicely maintained. We stopped by to checkout the .75 mile trail. Glad we had good footwear. Started out behind the fire tower on a nice slightly up and down trail. Trail marked but not overused by hikers. Had a nice quiet hike until we headed down. Knowing what goes down must go back up we were glad it was a cool 65 degrees out. A lot of steep sections that may present a problem for the little ones or the older ones. Wear shoes with good support and traction. No vistas, but nice hike in the fairly open pine forest.
