Our favorite coffee in town

The best espresso in town run with friendliness and a social conscience. Come for the coffee, stay for the conversation--either with the charming owner Corey DiMario or locals and travelers alike. Purchase a "cafe sospeso" when you depart to ensure that the next patron lacking cash will have access to a quality cup.

Not the most dynamic hike, this trail is a series of switchbacks, but the views west over Brattleboro are beautiful on a clear day, especially for viewing foliage in the Fall. A moderate hike with significant elevation.

This is actually called the Missing Link Trail—google it or go to the Trailfinder website for directions and maps. The trailhead is at 645 Hague Rd. At the end of a couple of miles is the second oldest Ash Tree in VT. It is beautiful and worth the hike. Take Haydock Vista trail to the left mid-hike to the view spot, and then keep walking to rejoin the Missing Link trail.

Swimming/hiking

Like a mini Lake Tahoe, this spectacular, deep pond is surrounded by giant granite boulders. A beautiful place to spend a couple of hours or the whole day. It's an easy half-mile hike to the pond from the parking lot, then the option of a shady 1.5 mile pond-perimeter hike

Berry/Fruit picking

A beautiful place for PYO blueberries, apples, and peaches. If berry picking in the summer months, wait until the late afternoon to avoid the heat. The orchards are glorious in the Fall. Come also to buy pre-picked fruit, fresh apple cider and cider donuts.

Scott Farm is the quintessential Vermont orchard experience. Nestled in the countryside of Dummerston, this collection of white farm buildings, sprawling Orchards, and farm houses is breathtakingly beautiful. Check the website for Fall hours, and plan for a little extra time to wander the land and see the dry-stacked stone walls created by the students of The Stone Trust, a non-profit in site that teaches the art of building stone walls without mortar.
