The Farmers Cupboard
Anyone who knows me understands that I get excited over any
kind of retail that makes me see something new.
I also love people and their stories.
Yesterday, my friend Maria brought me to a new store that just opened a
few weeks ago, The Farmers Cupboard. Mr.
Terry McDonnell is the proprietor and he loves cheese! Now I know cheese, but
he made me SEE cheese again. He has a
great variety of cheese and was kind enough to offer samples which of course
were amazing! There is aged cheddar that crumbles beautifully in texture and
has a nutty sweet flavor that is amazing!
You must buy the goat milk caramels and the absolutely
outrageous maple custard that truly is the best thing on the planet. There is also a Bloody Mary mix that shortcuts
a gazpacho recipe that is superior and can’t wait to use this weekend. Besides a fun and interesting personality
inside, the store design on the outside is fantastic. I was over the top on it
because I saw it as a terrific idea for a house design. Granite, beams and steel combine to create a
vintage western contemporary* that is both welcoming and futuristic in
sense. I loved it so much I wanted him
to build me one.
The Farmers Cupboard is adjacent to Harpoon Brewery and the
Path of Life Sculpture Garden in Windsor Vermont at 71 Artisans Way. Simon
Pearce is just a stone’s throw away and a visit there to see the glass and
pottery making facilities would make a fantastic trip any summer day.
Let me just mention that on the 28/29 of July, Harpoon
Brewery hosts its annual Barbeque festival and it is one the most amazing
events to sample barbeque experts from around the country. Beer, beef and
beautiful sky will be abundant!
