Stores

Dutton Farm Stand
A year round cornucopia of fresh foods, pies, veggies, and ciders. Don’t miss this gem that gives you a taste of Vermont right down the road.

The Newfane Store
A must stop while your in Newfane. You'll find a wide variety of home cooked food, pastries and delicious coffee. While your there pick up a souvenir from your trip to Newfane.

Restaurants

Fat Crow
A little more upscale, but worth it. This gem has personality out the wazoo—in the building, the atmosphere, and the food.

Bigfoot Coffee
More than just coffee, Bigfoot is small but mighty. Sandwiches, snacks, and (yes) great coffee.

Riverbend Farm Market
Our local grocery store has more than groceries. Local foods and a deli to boot.

Townshend Dam Diner
A locals favorite. The Diner is just next to beautiful Townshend Dam, thus the name. Personality and lots of coffee.

Harmonyville Store
Harmonyville is the space between Newfane and Townshend and its store is quaint and a little groovy. Don’t miss Vermont’s largest sycamore tree right next to it.
