We were going to stop at the Musicbox Museum in Randolph, VT but they didn’t allow pictures, so we bypassed it.
Neighborly Farm is a small organic farm that manufactures several styles of cheese. We watch as the owner made Jack cheese. We have been on several cheese making tours in the past but this has to be the smallest and most visible. The batch they were making used about 3,200-gallons of milk to product about 320-pounds of jack cheese. This farm tends their own herd of cattle, grows their feed crop, makes their cheese, and sales at their store and thru mail order. We bought feta cheese made from cows milk and a jar of Choke-Cherry Jam. Neither one of us had heard of Choke-Cherries so had to give it try.

Of course, we couldn't resist petting a few animals.
Rock of Ages quarry in Graniteville, VT produces blocks and slabs of gray Vermont granite. It has been extracting granite from their quarry since the late 1800’s. Their primary products are for cemeteries and mausoleums but they also manufacture some building materials.
Bragg Farm was a disappointment. We were hoping it would be similar to Neighborly Farm but it turned out to be simply a storefront.
We parked in front of the Waterbury Library and connected to their WiFi to upload pictures and check email. Many of the countries libraries have open WiFi available and we were glad Waterbury was in that group.
We arrived at the Little River campground just outside Waterbury. Sunday is going to be a down day as we prepare to finish our Vermont travels and move on into New York next week.
