Farmers' Diner
Farmers' Diner offers up traditional American roadside fare with a twist: almost all the ingredients are produced in Vermont. You can eat with a clean conscience knowing that the beef in your burger and the eggs in your breakfast burrito (served all day!) were harvested humanely and in a way that's environmentally sustainable. Meals are reasonable (entrees $8-10). Reservations are not expected.
