Currently undergoing extensive renovations, Mangalitsa is closely linked with Sante, Peace Field Farm and Decant Wine Shop. Peace Field Farm provides the produce and meat for Sante and Mangalitsa. I am hopeful they will have finished renovations and be open by summer 2023.

Sightseeing

Terrific family friendly museum. Part of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Park. Gorgeous trails on old carriage roads lead up to the star that overlooks the Village of Woodstock. X-Country grooming on those trails during winter. Wagon rides and sleigh rides available through Billings Farm.

Amazing tours through the tree tops and the bird enclosures. Vermont Institute of Natural Science rescues raptors and rehabilitates them. If the birds cannot be released back into the wild, they become teaching birds and live out their lives at the Center. They recently built a canopy walk.

City/town information

Voted one of the 10 most beautiful towns in the US over and over again, Woodstock is the quintessential New England village. Beautiful historic homes circle the green. Small shops entice visitors to take a little piece of Vermont home with them. Visit Gillingham's General Store, order a sandwich or a cut of meat at the Village Butcher, peruse the art galleries, stop by the Norman Williams Public library to admire the architecture, pick up a pair of flannel jammies at the Vermont Flannel Co. and so much more!
