Whether you are looking for groceries for the condo, a gift for the dogsitter, or a new 'something special' for you, you'll
find what you're looking for in the Burke area. Unlike 'outlet' towns that are crowded and expensive, the Burke area's shopping is authentically Vermont.
Little shops, tucked into the hillsides, brim with locally produced products, artisan crafts, and out-of-town favorites. There's nothing like getting
maple syrup from the farmer who boiled it, or buying a piece of furniture from the local craftsman who will design it just the way you want (and use some
local woods as well!). Try some of these favorites, or ask the folks in town their ideas for other great shopping adventures.
