Gift shop had samples of maple syrups and maple candy, as well as many other products. Also had interesting video of the process of making maple syrup.
telling of how maple syrup is collected and cooked down to syurp and the candy,staff was very nice and answered any and all questions
The Gift Shop has what you want to buy in maple; dressings, syrups, spreads, cookies, candies and maple sugar. As well as pancake mix, cake mixes, etc. There are also cute Christmas ornaments (Vermont) hand-painted, and metal painted of the state t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and stuffed animals.They also offer gift basket that you can order and a few already packaged and ready to go. I would just suggest getting together with others from the area and having a more balanced package. Cute to have so much of the same thing but perhaps some chocolates from Laughing Moon (Stowe), Maple Candies from you guys, etc... a VERMONT package. There are samples of the candy and syrup when you walk in the door and an informative video playing, if you don't have time to go to the museum. The ladies working there, think of your Nana, at least the day we were there, could not have been more helpful.
We stopped at the Maple Grove Farms expecting to get a factory tour. It turned out that tours are not offered at this facility. There is a very small museum with some maple evaporation and candy making equipment. There's also a short video describing how maple syrup is produced. The store is actually much larger than the museum. There are some nice locally produced maple products in the store, but otherwise don't go out of your way to visit.
We traveled the back mountain roads and came across this little syrup factory where the air smelled sweet and clean. We sampled various delights in the gift shop and bought some of their syrup. The staff was friendly.
Love this tourist spot. Too bad there are no tours of the making process no more. You can purchase a maple creamie. They have cute gifts. Also, an example of a sugar house and how they sugar. Smells so good that buttery maple infuser!
We were late... we called... and the woman on the phone talked to us through the roads so that we can get there... and waited and didn't close the store so that we can make it, even after hours. They let you taste the syrups and the selection is very nice. We enjoyed our time at the store and are thankful for the great service we got
Nestled in Vermont maple syrup is what we're famous for and being along time resident its very very tasty that fresh syrup. They're are so many many other delicous products you can discover at maple grove farms many more things made from syrup. They tour is very interesting and the gift shop oh boy its marvelous. Well worth a stop..
When we would eat at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant, I would always buy a box of Maple Grove maple candy. After looking at the address of the facility and checking out their website, I decided I would like to go to the place where these delicious confections are made. We went to their factory and gift shop in St. Johnsbury, VA, and I am so glad that we did. The nicest ladies work in the shop, and we mailed gifts back to our family in Georgia. Would not mind going back, sweet little town.
Great display of Vermont farm products and animals. Personnel wasfriendly and helpful describing processes and products. Would recommend the experience tothe whole family.
