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.

The staff was so warm and welcoming, eager to help. I was surprised how beautiful the store was, with all kinds of goodies, desserts, spices, candles, Jams, hot cider etc. makes for a great gift!!! We were hosting our Operation toys for tots and this farm donated 100 cider donuts, people who attended our event raved on how delicious the donuts were. Be sure to visit.

I knew nothing about grist mills and suddenly I learnt so much US history. The people here were the best guides ever. they explained things so simply and it was great. I could have stayed hours.

This is one of the two best knitting stores in NJ, in my opinion. I started going with a friend to try a couple classes and was blown away by how the classes here brought my knitting to the next level. The owner is super diligent about making sure the students go home proud of their work.Best selection of yarn and notions anywhere. Friendliest staff also. My home away from home.
