Cedar Circle Farm & Education Center

Went camping here with my ex a couple years ago. Lost the gal (bummer) but now I live nearby and know about this beautiful place that has loads of tasty products and a cute little cafe!

As a first time visitor, I struggled to find where to do the PYO strawberries - but once I figured it out, it was smooth sailing from there! Tons of ripe strawberries to pick for such a good price, and they are delicious.

Cedar Circle Farm is my happy place. It’s actually my favorite place in Vermont. There are greenhouses full of plants, hanging plants, all kinds of flower pots and containers. There is a farm stand with an excellent selection of vegetables, most of them grown right there, varied, yummy and creative “grab and go” take out, frozen ready to cook meals and frozen meats, baked goods, and a small and very interesting grocery selection, including artisan cheese. As far as I’m concerned, the best thing of all is Hello Café, which is a charming coffee bar with excellent espresso drinks and tea, in a shed behind the farm stand. On Saturday and Sunday, Hello Cafe has breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos. This year, I have a new habit of going and getting a cappuccino and maybe a sandwich too, and sitting in an Adirondack chair and reading a book or writing. There are also picnic benches, some under a tent, others in the shade, and still others in full sun. Take your pick. And don’t forget that in season, there are pick-your-own flowers and pick your own blueberries. There are two extremely clean Porta Johns. One is so big I believe it must be wheelchair accessible (call them and check, please) and a handwashing station with a foot pump over by the coffee bar. The staff is lovely, the view divine, and everything they sell is organic. Lots of local people will tell you the place is too expensive, but they didn’t raise their prices this year and everyone else did, so at this point their takeout, sandwich, salad and coffee prices are pretty much on par with everyone else. The difference is the food could not be fresher, it was grown and cooked from scratch right there, and it is much healthier, and often much more interesting, than most other prepared food in Orange County.
