Paradise Farm Sugarhouse

Friendly folks and delicious syrup and cider donuts. What’s not to love? A fun stop on our day trip.

We were doing a New England road trip and wanted to get some mom-​and-​pop style maple syrup in Vermont. We found Paradise Farm Sugarhouse through Google Maps, and made a stop. We bought a quart of their maple syrup and some maple candy.
The lady running the counter was sweet as could be and mentioned that she makes all the pies! The pies were beautiful, and although we didn’t buy one because of traveling, she did mention that The Marina restaurant in Brattleboro sold slices of their pie for dessert!
Definitely a small cute stand that is worth a small drive (5 – 10 min off the interstate) through Brattleboro to get to!

OH MY GOSH!!! THE PIES!!! I’ll save the best for last.
First it’s a cute rustic, old building. There is a covered porch to sit and have a cup of coffee with your bakery item.
I took my time looking at all the many items she has in her gift shop. Lots of crafty items, jarred jams, sauces, etc. She had cold bottled Maple Soda. I was tempted, but since I don’t like Crème Soda, I figured I wouldn’t like Maple Soda, but I thought it was unique. I picked up some REAL maple syrup.
I finally got to the little bakery display. Not too many items, but enough of a variety for me to get really excited, but not overwhelmed. Some cookies, pastries, scones…
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES: I opted for one chocolate chip cookie. It was oversized and moist. I enjoyed it with a cup of milk.
PASTRY: I also picked out a raspberry pastry and a blueberry/​cream cheese pastry. Scott & I split them so we each had a half. Delicious breakfast.
SCONE: Also had the Peach Scone for breakfast. I would love to have some more of those.
Picked up some packaged fudge produced by MAPLE CITY CANDY. This was not made at this sugarhouse, and we could tell. The fudge was dry and too sugary. I threw out the chocolate walnut fudge, but am slowly eating the peanut butter fudge, even though I’ve definitely had better, but… well…it’s peanut butter… still tasty.
I was disappointed that there was only one pie left at 3pm. I was told she could bake what I wanted and I could pick up the next day. I considered, but then thought Blueberry Crumb Pie sounds pretty good, so I took the last pie. She threw in a couple of sugar coated apple cider donuts.
DONUTS: The apple cider donuts were another absolutely delicious item.
PIES: But the best item of all is (or was since it is now all gone), the pie. First thing you notice is how heavy it is. She really packs in the fruit! What a fabulous pie! This may have been the best pie I have ever had! There were so many blueberries and the juice/​syrup that dripped from the slice was wonderful. The crumb topping was wonderfu! She doesn’t scrimp on the crumble. Lots of brown sugar. Yum! We served this slightly warm with vanilla ice cream on top. This pie was so delicious, we had to order another pie. This time we’re trying the Peach Crumble Pie. This pie is also heavier than expected. I put it on a postal scale and the pie weighs THREE POUNDS!!!
I think this place should be called Paradise Pies and Sugarhouse.
