Greetings from the Visitor Center

The Visitor Center is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 9-4.

by Stephanie Breed, Visitor Center Coordinator

Our freezers are filled with Merck’s own pasture-raised, regeneratively grown fresh pork and lamb. We have steaks, shanks and sausages...and much more! Our 2020 syrup is almost gone–last year was a banner year, with over 1,500 gallons of syrup produced. We have limited quantities of Golden Delicate and Dark Robust available. The last barrel of Amber Rich has just been bottled and will be on the shelves soon.

Speaking of soon, our famous Merck Forest sheepskins will be arriving within the next few weeks. They won’t last long! Additionally, we sell yarn from our flock as well as locally knit woolen hats. A new selection of fun books, nature journals, and games will be on the shelves in the next couple of weeks.

Come visit, warm yourself by the masonry wood stove and pat Ellie, our resident cat. Better yet, renew your Merck Forest membership–or gift one to a friend or family member–and receive 10% off all purchases and 20% off camping. Members play a huge part in making Merck Forest & Farmland Center happen.
