What is the Farmer's Daughter?
If it's made of maple
syrup, we carry it. Our groceries department includes Vermont
cheeses, crackers, Indian pudding, brown bread, buckwheat/buttermilk pancake mixes, clover honey - the finest Vermont offers and
more.
The Farmer's
Daughter Gift Barn is also a museum. You will enjoy your
surroundings. Our barn is maintained as original. As you enter, look
up and around you. The open post and beam barn was built without the
use of nails. Many of the tools and equipment hanging from the walls
were used in its construction. The sleigh on which our maple syrups
is displayed is the "A.H. Gleason" sleigh, which was used here in
St. Johnsbury to deliver groceries at the turn of the century. The
covered bridge hanging over it was actually built by a man who, as a
youth, built covered bridge, and is a good example of their
construction.
