You can buy fresh pastured eggs at Square Roots Farm, and Whitney's Farm Market has a small grocery with local produce - most notably their own tomatoes and corn.
The Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, winding 13 miles along Cheshire Lake between Pittsfield and Adams, is just down the road. For the more adventurous, an Appalachian Trail trailhead is 5 minutes away in the town of Cheshire. Winter sports are close by with Jiminy Peak a 15 minute drive away. We are also close to southern Vermont resorts, with Mt. Snow and Stratton about an hour’s drive. Or, walk right outside and sled down the hill in our backyard.
