“This was probably our favorite shop in downtown Woodstock. We walked in and were greeted warmly and spent a few minutes walking around looking at the beautiful works - the train, ornaments and different tinkling bells. I ended up purchasing a Christmas themed candle holder for my mother that had tiny acorns around the base, but many of the thoughtful ornaments really called to me, so I'll definitely be looking them up again come holiday time! Overall, a really beautiful warm store that if you're in the area you should definitely stop into.”

“Malabar is a beautiful store with a variety of specialty quality items ranging from baby stuffies, to kitchen items, amazing wine glasses and gorgeous blankets and beyond. The shop owner Julie is a true gem in the Vergennes community. She is selfless with helping you find just the right item for any occasion. This is a place you must visit!”
“We are glad we stopped by when making our way through town! We had a nice chat with the owner and bought a mug made by a local potter, discovering that we could visit his studio nearby. This seems like such a fun shop with lots to offer the community.”
“So, these are the pies my niece is craving during her pregnancy. We are making the drive monthly from Pompey NY to satisfy her sweet tooth. Have to admit I’m happy to do it because I love them too! Love this place❤️”
“My favorite stop in Middlebury where you can find so many different things, from little handmade Vermont-made souvenirs for your home (or for friends) to the best fudge you've ever had. We also recently ordered from them and shipping was quick as well.”

“Absolute gem in Vermont. I had been hunting for some mementos of our trip on the drive home to Canada when we happened to drive through Middlebury. This isn't your regular cheap gift shop. They had beautiful, unique items. I got some great vermont prints, a one of a kind handmade book, and the icing on the cake waits for you when you discover the back porch! What a view of the falls. Highly recommend stopping in here.”
“A treasure hidden in plain view! After passing the trading post at least 100 times, we finally paused our commute and visited and we are glad that we did.
First, the Trading Post carries Sugarbush Farms cheese from Woodstock VT which is the best cheese that you will ever taste!
Second, the Post is deceptively large and offers a nice assortment of Vermont goods and clothing. The items are NOT overpriced and are pleasantly eclectic.
Hidden in the back of the post is a mini golf Oasis. The mini golf feels like it was a passion project and cleverly uses the topography of the land and natural elements to complete the fairytale feel.
Don’t wait to visit!”
