I stopped by the Robb Family Farm Country Store to purchase maple candies and syrup. Their candies were fresh and made right there. There were also many local foods and other gifts. The family is friendly. It is definitely worth a visit!

This was the highlight of my weekend in Brattleboro. The staff here was super friendly and gave us a tour of the glassblowing studio and the clay crafting studio. It was such an informative and enjoyable experience. Seeing the works of art displayed around the studio was also fantastic. The quality of the exhibits cannot be understated. I will absolutely be back with family to join the glassblowing classes. I can't wait!

Brattleboro Farmers' Market

Reviewed By carole7777

There was an amazing variety of food vendors and farmers. There were handmade goods such as alpaca products, jewelry vendors, ethnic foods, cider donuts and pastries and coffee. There were numerous picnic tables set in the center, recycling and garbage cans readily available. Also a composting out house as well as Porta potty‘s. It was a great atmosphere and a great day. If you like farmers markets this was the bomb!

Beautiful location. Lush foliage and gardens surround the property. The creek that runs under the bridge is clear. The construction of the bridge is impressive. Brattleboro has done a wonderful job of keeping the bridge in great condition.

Retreat Trails

Reviewed By edmondite

We parked just past the trailhead sign by the Harris Hill Ski Jump and hiked the outer loop of the trail, then up to the Retreat tower! You can't see the tower until you are right upon it. We hiked back down to check out the cemetery as well. Neat place.
