Food scene
The food is amazing! GF friendly as well. We love the wood fired pizza. Great craft beer selection! General Store has a nice selection of provisions, meats, dairy, local cheese, beer, wine, firewood, plus the local VT souvenirs to take home. Also great for a cup of coffee or latte & pastry. Looks like they are doing to-go gourmet family meals as of Dec 2022 (available cold or frozen and warm at home), breakfast/lunch. Recommend giving them a call or checking hours as they often change.
Lovely outdoor patio in the summer/fall with lawn games and nice view.
