Dakin Farm is a tourist-style working farm in South Burlington, VT that is open 7 days a week to the public. Let's just say the clouds opened and angels sang their heavenly chorus when the doors opened during my first visit to the fabled land dedicated to the fresh and delicious. This roadside attraction is a must-visit hot spot to anyone who loves 1) cheese, 2) meat, 3) fudge, 4) jam, 5) honey, 6) syrup, or just damn good eats. My mind was continuously boggled by the amazing variety of treats and snacks made just around the corner, so freshness and flavor were apparent in every offering. Everything was available to sample, so you can bet your boots I did just that. Everything was basically the best thing I'd ever had, so this cornucopia of wonder turned into a wonderland of flavor that stretched through our entire week there.
Yes, that is a maple smoked garlic meat stick that I am enjoying.
Ashton and Virginia share my enthusiasm for yum.
This is only a smidgen of the fresh meats offered.
WANT. WANT IT ALL.
Their honey is so fresh they actually pull it from the bee's bodies. THAT IS FRESH.
Dakin's jams vary from the super sweet to succulently spicy, but the common thread is fresh flavor explosion guaranteed in every morsel.
These cheeses constituted about 89% of our diet for the week, and that was in no way depressing.
Virginia is as stuck as I am in what incredible variety to buy next!
If Vermont is the land of maple syrup, we hit the mother lode.
As pretty as it was delicious on the pancakes that we also got here!
Why go small? You know you want to drink gallons of the stuff. And you are on vacation, so it doesn't count! THAT IS SO CONVENIENT!
