The Vermont Country Store Weston

Couldn’t wait to visit. My Mom (she passed last October) always ordered from the catalog. I grew up with a lot of the items. This was a great visit. A trip down memory lane for both me and my husband. Everyone was helpful with our questions about products and finding a couple items for us. No problems with parking. They are a pet friendly place.

Stepping into this store feels like traveling back to the days of classic general stores. The original wooden floors, vintage displays, and welcoming staff create an inviting atmosphere. Offering a wide selection of useful and rare goods, this historic and authentic shop is truly worth a stop.

We stopped at the Weston store a couple of times. Just before the holidays, my wife loves to stop in here for gift ideas. Everything from craft beer, cheeses, chocolates, candies, clothes, games, all kinds of stuff, you name it. Plan to spend some time here and if it’s warm outside, they offer ice cream and food options on the far right side of the building. The second floor features a closeout section.

Stopped by to check out this store on our fall foliage road trip on route 100. It's indeed a fun place to walk around, the store is huge and have lots of varieties of items to look at. Definitely worth stopping by!

You have GOT to stop by this store. And, yes, you can enter through the front door (the old-fashioned way in). What doesn't this store have! Food, drink, clothes, candy, maple products, toys, hard to find items, etc. We spent hours in here taking it all in. The staff are pleasant and very helpful. We left with a multitude of various items, but you simply must leave with their common crackers (regular or cheddar cheese), equally delicious. We stopped by Mildred's Dairy Bar next door to order a creemee. Our first, and it was unbelievably spectacular! They also offer sandwiches, hot dogs, milkshakes, etc.

I had an amazing time, going back in time at The Vermont Country Store in Weston,VT. It was such a beautiful Fall day, perfect for reminiscing on past joys of long ago while making amazing new memories! A great day trip of you find yourself in the Green Mountains of South Vermont!

I was literally a kid in a candy store. From Jersey, the weekday drive was worth the trip. Snow covered mountains, rushing, cascading water. Old Vermont towns and picturesque farm country of the Green Mountains. We needed a reason to go the Vermont Country Store in Weston, something we saw in the catalog. A straight shot to Albany and across the Hudson into the mountains with a little help from Maps. Back and forth was a little over 400 miles.The store is in an old cow barn. People were friendly and personable, but like all stores these days there's more in the catalog than there is in the store. Stores are now showcases. Things we saw were pricey, but of good quality like clothing, kitchenware, decorations, toys and candy. There's lots to see as there are displays of vintage house wares, such as a glass case filled with quirky old toasters. Local towns have nice local eateries with great atmosphere and are mostly affordable. Go!

The Holiday Spirit was in full swing during today's visit- Christmas decorations were everywhere, the store was beautiful! We enjoyed our visit, especially after finding my all time favorite toy in the toy section!

Locally owned large country store with a restaurant (check hours before going) and a wonderful ice cream stand. The store is very large so leave some time for exploring. They have clothing, games, beauty products, home decor, souvenirs snacks and food and more! The employees were friendly and helpful and I will definitely go back when I am nearby. They have an ice cream stand " Miranda's" ( named after the family "matriarch") with a few lunch items. They serve "Creemee" soft serve which is outstanding ( I don't usually get soft serve but this is something special). The special flavor wás Maple Be sure to read the storyboard telling the history of this place, it is fascinating.

Ordered a dress and it was about five sizes too big, though the tag said 'small'; the material was rough and scratchy too. I called right away; a woman at the company said she'd put a note in saying she'd waive the return fee, since the item was defective. Well... Their 'financial department' charged me the fee anyway. Not fun dealing with this. Would not recommend.

This place is always hot, especially an autumn. Lots of great foods, cheeses, clothing, and even Mildred's outside cafe stand. Lots of great reasons to visit a Vermont country store! This location was my second in Vermont both were great. I loaded up on cheese, fondue, jam, shortbread maple cookies, maple syrup. Too fun.

It was crowded, but lots to look at. Staff was nice. It was clean for all the people in the store.

If you're in middle Vermont, visit the village of Weston for great shopping, antiques and food.

My favorite and always visited stop in our annual Vermont trip. I look forward to seeing the nostalgic products as well as the old time great goods. Their cheese chop is my favorite stop. The grounds are beautifully kept and decorated for memorable pictures.

Dog-friendly! They even have free doggie biscuits in the store. Mildred's Dairy Bar has maple Creemees, burgers etc. Also, one of the apple trees in the parking lot has good apples. Nice picnic tables outdoors with shade to eat. Merchandise is pricey but otherwise no complaints.

I'm in love with this little store. Brings back memories of things you had when you were little. Cashier was rude young man next time we will go to someone else and cash out. Great selection of things. A little pouch on prices.

Do you like to get oversized merchandise? Do you like to receive items in a different color than the one in which you ordered? Do you like to call "Customer Service," and listen to the owner come back every two minutes asking you to be patient that someone will be taking your call shortly? (Read ten to 15 minutes of waiting). If you answer is yes to each of the above questions, Vermont Country Store is for you. Dealing with these people is a horror. I was finally able to get a hold of a lady called Haley, who was helpful. She told me that, unfortunately, complaints are ongoing. She said she would comp me on the return shipping because of all I had experienced. She emailed me a FedEx return label, and I dropped off the package containing the two nightshirts at FedEx this afternoon. I do not intend to ever again put myself through a Vermont Country Store experience.

My husband and I make our annual pilgrimage to The Vermont Country Store every year with our dog. Being able to take her inside with us to shop is a great experience and people love to pet her! We always get our favorite cookies and cheeses and this year we were able to find quite a few gluten free options! They have so many different things to see here. There are toys, housewares, foods, pet items, laundry items, health and beauty items and of course, dozens of kinds of maple syrup and maple flavored candies and more! Sometimes it can be a bit expensive, $14 for a little tub of popcorn is a bit much, but if you look around, there really is something for every price point! Everyone who works there is as sweet as the maple syrup! They are kind, friendly and love to come out and talk to the patrons! We absolutely look forward to coming back next year!!

This place was recommended to me by my hotel as I was looking for a place to buy Vermont souvenirs. It did not disappoint! It was large, clean, rustic, ample parking and beautiful drive to get there. We got multiple kinds of cheese, raisin bread, a locally made bath bomb, maple candy and more. Go here!

Tried ordering night shirt on line and it wasn't easy! Called and customer service oh my was even worse!! Shook it off and ordered 2 night shirts and of course they priced them so I have to pay for shipping. 1 was xtra small. I weigh 75 pounds 5ft. Received and pockets not deep enough and material ok. May be better after wash I will never know as it was to tight and tried to exchange. So aggravated by customer service I have to pay again for exchange I changed it to return as I won't wear it without remembering the awful customer service. Small town Geeze all shucks service keep it. Amazon calling me back!!

This used to be a good company. My mother and I dealt with them in the past and had no complaints, so I felt good about ordering 2 runner rugs from them. When the rugs came, they smelled strongly of mold. I tried to do a return online and they wanted ne to pay for the return. I emailed them that that was unacceptable and never heard back from them.

What doesn't this store have. You can literally find everything you need or never thought you needed in here. The store sells all kinds of Vermont themed things. In addition they have a section for men's and woman's clothing, children clothing, toys, kitchenware, candy, jewelry and much more. The store is huge so you can just shop and shop. The outside area has several seating areas, I enjoyed sitting on the rocking chairs which truth be told, I think I caught a nap as my girlfriend was shopping. All in all in was a very cool store with plenty of things you never really thought you needed but could use.

Hubby and I stopped by one morning while staying in Vermont. What a cool country store! I could have spent 4 hours in here browsing. We purchased a few snacks including a bag of Vermont white cheddar. Normally, I'm not too crazy about cheddar but this white cheddar was very, very good! Already cut into little cubes, it was the perfect snack to take to the river. They sell ice packs at the checkout counter which was super convenient since it was a warm day. They had a lot of items to purchase as souvenirs including maple syrup, candies, t-shirts, magnets and tons of knickknacks. The prices were on the high side but some things were reasonable. Totally worth a visit while in the area. Don't forget to check out the cheese room and clearance selection!

This is a store that both men and women will enjoy. It is actually multiple buildings enclosing the entire store where you can wander from one end to the other completely inside. It has nearly everything you can imagine from old time candy and gadgets to upscale clothing items. It's location can seem like it is in the middle of nowhere, and although it is somewhat remote, you can reach it in about 90 minutes or so from the Massachusetts boarder. Their prices are high, no question, but there is so much of it that would be hard to find these days. That said, there is a lot on the shelves which make me wonder why not increase sales substantially by lowering the prices by 25%? Making a bit less on larger sales volume is better that holding your price on a $19.95 item that has been on the shelf month to month, when lowering it to $15 will move the merchandise. Anyway, it is a nice store and worth the drive to please your significant other. There is plenty of parking and it's handicapped accessible. If you found this review helpful, please tap the thumbs up to let me know. Thanks!

The Vermont Country Store has a great restaurant-Mildred's Table. Previously the site of The Bryant House for many years, the space has been renovated and is even more inviting than before. The menu does not overwhelm with choices and there is something for everyone. Had a fabulous black bean burgers and THE PERFECT grilled cheese. Our server, Lyra, added to the overall experience. Definitely recommend!

This review is for the Vermont Country Store catalog only. Ten stars!!! I have been ordering through the catalog FOR YEARS. Excellent customer service and merchandise. I still receive a paper catalog and it's really a treat to sit and pour over the pages of new items and lots of old-fashioned items too. Anyone remember "Lemon Up" shampoo? I used it when I was in high school and VCS still carries it, the conditioner too. They have a "Peanuts Gang" section (as in Charlie Brown) with bedding, towels, rugs, clothing, and even books like "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (which I just recently ordered). VCS carries lots of personal care remedies like horehound candy to relieve sore throats, cough syrups from ages ago, medicinal tonics, and rubs & ointments I remember from childhood. And tell me where you can still find fragrances like "Evening in Paris," "L'Air Du Temps,"Tigress," or "Tabu?" What a hoot!!! The food and candy sections are AWESOME! When was the last time you had pecan divinity and "Necco" wafers? Or "Chuckles" or "Dad's Root Beer Barrels" or the really old-fashioned hard Christmas candies & ribbons your Grandma probably had in her candy dish? Try the Sicilian olive salad at your next picnic. It's similar to a Giardiniera and you'll find it all in the catalog and online. Of course, being located in Vermont, they carry many maple sugar products like sugar maples leaves, hard & soft candies, syrups, maple sriracha hot sauce, etc. The women's and men's clothing sections are amazing with quality brands from the past like Lanz and M Mac. Check out the Home and Kitchen sections too, lots of stuff Mom and Grandma used to use and some I still use today. I have ordered many times from the catalog and my orders have been delivered when they say and packaging is in perfect condition. And while I haven't had to return anything yet, the returns/exchange policy is a snap to use. I just wish we had an actual store closer than in Burlington, VT, I'd be a regular customer for sure.

A pretty descent rustic style store which has a pretty interesting history as well. Their bathroom was so clean and amazing! Good souvenir buys here. Parking is too ample to fill the store. Accepts credit. See images and videos for further information

In January, 2022 I ordered TWO 100% cotton burgundy crewneck sleep shirts. I was billed for them but I never received them. I followed up and was told that there was a problem and I could either cancel my order or they would ultimately ship it to me. Because I wanted the sleep shirts, I said send them to me when you can. A year later I received one sleep shirt NOT two. In addition the cotton was so extremely rough that I don't see how anyone could sleep in it. I washed it several times but it never softened up. I don't recommend this company.

Once again, Vermont County Store Online messes up an order. A week after I ordered (numerous items that were labeled 'in stock)', I receive an email telling me to call them, they haven't been able to process my order because they got the credit card information wrong. After they then took the information again, I received an email stating 'once the order ships, you'll receive a tracking number'. BUT no date letting me know when the items will ship! Really, could this company be less organized? I doubt it. Lesson learned. I gave them a second chance and that was a mistake on my part, as the same ineptitude continues. I would avoid online purchasing from them.

I purchased a tan merino wool blanket from their website. I received a cream colored wool blanket. It's Australian wool - ok, but it comes from recycled wool !! And it's made in CHINA . Is the United States unable to make wool blankets? Never again from that store.

I like them but their shipping is awful. I pay I for priority but it always takes forever...

What a great experience! So many things to see and buy!! Staff was helpful and friendly

Amazing store! This place may have more items than any other store I have been in. For many years I thought the mail-order catalog was packed, but believe me when I say that the store has even more. There is also a clearance section that is loaded with merchandise. Also be sure to check out Mildred's next door for the maple-vanilla twist ice cream.

[1168] 12/2020 We were visiting Vermont so we had to check out the Vermont country Store. What a super cool place. There was plenty of parking and they did a great job with Covid protocols. The staff was friendly. The store had so much to choose from. Kitchen items, clothes, books, toiletries, syrup, cheese and the list goes on. We picked up so many tasty and cool items. Next time I'm in the area I would definitely visit again

This store is my happy place. The soaps, makeup, lotions, decor, and clothes are so unique. I wish I could decorate my whole house with their merchandise. The ambience is so lovely. Stepping into the store makes me so happy. The cheese and fudge is awesome!

Physical store in Weston, VT. Kermit took a trip to the Vermont Country Store. There was plenty of parking. He bought a penny candy for his sweet tooth, some tongs from the kitchen supply area, and a women's shirt from the clothing area. Lots of different things inside the store to look at.

Great selection of classic quality products from clothes to health wellness. I bought my best friend a flannel Lanz nightgown and nostalgic jack in the box for my nephew. The store is beautiful and big! I think it's a destination stop if in Vermont.

Bought a plisse spread, similar to seersucker. It is a bit expensive, but couldn't find it anywhere cheaper. I originally bought a blue one, which was a great color. Then I bought an ecru color. It is so light and it looks washed out and almost light green. But I'll make due. And I originally bought queen, which was beyond large for the bed. Called to exchange for a full size...which is still too big. Don't know who does their measuring. But customer service was very obliging and did not charge to send it back and gave the credit very quickly. Obviously, main concern is pricing.

What a great store! I spent way too much money!! They have so many wonderful things here. There are sections it the store - pets (where I spent most of my money), clothing for men, clothing for women, chocolate, toys, home goods, cheese, beer ... And - maple syrup all over the place. I bought some maple syrup in a mason Jar with a cool lid for pouring from a mason Jar. I also bought a light up dog leash and a reflecting dog bandanna. I bought some maple popcorn intended as a gift, but then i broke into it and ate 1/2 of ice. The staff here was really nice. I like them. And the store was beautifully organized and tended to. So much attention to detail. And - they were so busy! I could bring my dogs. My dogs enjoyed sniffing everything. That was cool! I am glad I found this store to go to. We (my dogs and I) enjoyed our visit to this shop.

Have used Vermont Country Store in the past with success, but will not use again. The people taking the orders are nice enough, but this experience has soured me permanently. I ordered in March, 2nightgowns a swimsuit and hat. Very clear on the address,yet they never arrived. The person assisting me found them at the UPS Store several miles from my address. The UPS Store couldn't find them and Vermont reordered. It is now May 1st and I find that they have shipped them to the UPS Store again. I need them for a trip tomorrow. UPS is charging me $8.50 per box to pick up. Vermont's answer is to return the packages and they will resend. The 3rd order will arrive after I have left. Vermont will not pay this, but offers me a credt for $25. How is this customer service. I have to pay the additional and get UPS to return the packages. Needless to say, I will not be using Vermont Country Store again, and I caution those who do.

It was fun but there needs to be More Food places to eat the restaurant that's there is Very Overpriced

I ordered a blanket, it wasn't a blanket!! It was a double flannel sheet. Vermont County Store will NOT pay for return shipping because they state that it still is as warm as a blanket. They miss advertised and customer service will not make this right. Please do not order from this company. I've never received this horrible, disrespectful treatment by any company before. The BBB will be contacted. Absolutely DISGUSTED with this company. As you can see by the photo, this is a sheet!

Maybe this review will grab the Vermont Country Store's attention! I ordered and received a nightgown as a gift for my elderly mother in December. It was the wrong size. I sent the return with the UPS label provided by VCS on January 11, requesting an exchange. Since then, not one word from VCS. I emailed and the response was that they'd probably get to that soon. What does that mean?! I called and was told this is their busy return season. I don't care - by the time my mom gets the replacement flannel nightgown, it will be summer. The customer service was not able to help any further. Said she was transferring me to a supervisor. You guessed correctly; I was cut off. This must be the most disorganized, understaffed shipping department in the United States.

I purchased a bed spread for $150 from Vermont Country Store. Very low quality and not worth anywhere near what they charged me for it. My advice is to skip them and keep looking.

I have repeatedly asked to have my name removed from the mailing list of this catalog company. ONCE I ordered some lotion for my aunt. I went to the on-line store and made my purchase - not from an unnecessary catalog. Does this company understand that this is 2024 and people have the internet to shop. Since that time I get a catalog almost every month. I can't understand how these companies are allowed to send junk through the mail every day. Did you know * 5.6 million tons of catalogs and other direct mail advertisements end up in U.S. landfills annually. * 44 percent of junk mail is thrown away unopened, but only half that much junk mail is recycled. * The average American household receives 848 pieces of junk mail, which equals 1.5 trees every year and more than 100 million trees for all U.S. households combined. That's the equivalent of deforesting all of Rocky Mountain National Park every four months. * Largely due to deforestation, junk mail manufacturing creates as much greenhouse gas emissions annually as 3.7 million cars.

So, we visited both Vermont Country stores on our recent trip through Vermont. This is the original and slightly larger one, yet it's only about a half hour drive to the other one near Rockingham. It would seem one might cannabalize the other, but people seem to enjoy whichever one they're visiting. The general rule here and for its nearby cousin is that there are lots of fun and interesting items, everything from housewares to foods to clothing, many of them hard-to-find in other shops. And many of those items seem to us (and apparently others) on the pricey side. That being the case, there are lots of sales here and there, so keep your eyes open. There's also a Mildred's grill here selling the same delicious sandwiches and ice cream you'll find at the other store. We think it's a enjoyable time to drop by whenever we're around here, and from our visits we've never had a bad service experience. Sorry for those Yelpers who have encountered difficulties.

The VCS was a disappointment. It was a much smaller facility than we imagined and had a limited selection of items. What merchandise that was available was okay, there just wasn't much of it. Employees were friendly and helpful. One visit was enough.

What a fun store. They've got all sorts of stuff in here. Vermont clothing, a bakery, chocolates, syrups, sausages, baking supplies, kitchen supplies, toys, candies, soaps, cheese, pancake mixes, etc. You get the idea. The other awesome thing is that this place is like a time machine. It has products like toys & candy that you saw in the 70s & 80s, so it's also a very nostalgic store. Prices are a bit high, but hey, what do you expect? I recommend this place highly.

When I bought my electric blanket I did a lot of research and selected Vermont Country Store because they were very clear that everything they sell me had a lifetime warranty even on just normal wear and tear. Now several years later I try to return the blanket and they say they have never had that policy and do NOT cover normal wear and tear. BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE PROMISES THIS COMPANY MAKES ABOUT HOW THEY WARRANTY THEIR PRODUCTS. SOME OF THEM SAY THEIR POLICY HAS CHANGED AND OTHERS SAY THEY'VE NEVER HAD THAT POLICY.

Great, well-stocked store full of the kinds of things I'm trying to get rid of. They have a trailer restroom by the parking lot and a proper restroom inside.

Cute little shop. Bought some maple walnut fudge, maple cookies and some maple syrup. I went for the nostalgia of an old Vermont store experience. Several souvenir gift choices. Very pleasant store clerk. Prices were reasonable.

Nice store. Lots of different and unique things from clothes to housewares to food and candy! We bought a few items we didn't need and could have easily kept going. Worth the visit.

I buy flannel nightgowns from this place. I moved and needed new sheet so I bought 6 sets of the white percale sheets . The top one are fine. But the fitted bottom sheets are terrible. Baffling to put on the mattress an and the come off easily. Just rotten things. DO NOT BUY THE SHEETS.

A true nightmare ordering from this company, nothing but lies, hang ups and more lies. Ordered two Christmas Wreaths about two weeks a go, nothing yet but excuses from telephone reps, one even hung up on me for asking two many questions. The Wreaths are made in Maine and they don't have any idea when they will ship, but they were shipped December 2, 2019 and have been sitting at FedEx in Texas. More excuses from Vermont Country Store. I could have bought the wreaths locally and had them hung on the house weeks a go. Wreaths arrived today, they are awesome, but have been sitting in Texas at the FedEx hub, they were getting dry,

Adams brand Clove and Blackjack chewing gum? Fels Natptha? Pine tar soap? Jewelweed soap? Lye soap? Rock candy? Granny-style flannel nighties? Horehound drops? You'll find all your old fashioned favorites in the mail order catalog AND the physical stores themselves. Tourist traps? Yeah, maybe. Sure. (One other Yelper described VCS as "Cracker Barrel on Steroids." (Me? I jokingly call it 'cause "Old Pale People Need Candy, Too, B*tch.") So? Especially good stuff if you crave notalgia with your diabetes.

Don't be fooled by the "Aw Shucks" country drawl. This is a business that likes to be nice while offering defective merchandise (poor quality assurance processes) and not very good customer service. Case in point - I ordered a vest. It arrived with a defective zipper. I returned it. More than two weeks later, I'd neither seen a credit nor an acknowledgment. I called after being dumped three times by their Live Chat. In total I spoke to FIVE people, all asking for information that was on the screen in front of them. Finally I'm told it usually takes seven days to address a "box" of credits, but because it's nice Vermont, she'll take care of it now. Only thing, she processed the merchandise and had to be reminded about the shipping. So difficult to work with

So far item ordered on March 5th, now the 15th. Was told it was in stock. followed up with them on the 10th, said it was in stock and would receive email about delivery. Still haven't received email, sent them an email asking if it was shipped yet, still haven't heard. Worst experience I have ever had with an online order. Will never order from them again, be careful when using them direct. Might have done better doing it thru Amazon.
