SWEET SHOPPING RETREAT
November

Every year during hunting season and before Thanksgiving, people flock from around the state to Northfield for amazing bargains at Cabot Hosiery Mills’ famous sock sale and the Barry T.

Black Diamond Sportswear in Montpelier also holds their annual blow-out sale at the same time.  Includes a $20 gift certificate for the Cabot Sock Sale.

A SWEET MAPLE RETREAT
Available March – mid April  (dependent upon Mother Nature)
There is nothing sweeter than sugar making in Vermont. As soon as the sap begins to run in early spring, the ritual begins and our sugarhouse in the woods becomes the center of activity.
