Trailhead Food Truck

Trailhead was born at Muddy Brook Farm, where good food and the outdoors naturally come together. Our menu is built around real ingredients, with produce grown right here at Muddy Brook and the rest sourced locally whenever possible. Everything is made with care, without shortcuts, and meant to be enjoyed after a day outside. No seed oils. No preservatives. Just honest food.

Open Friday - Sunday | View Menu

The Muddy Market

The Muddy Market is Muddy Brook Farm’s on-site shop, shaped by the land, the seasons, and the people who pass through it. It’s a place to browse thoughtfully, pick up something useful or special, and get a feel for what’s happening on the farm. Travelers, hikers, and guests are welcome to stop in, grab a coffee, and take a look around. Whether you’re heading out for a hike, passing through the valley, or spending the afternoon on the farm, the Muddy Market is designed to feel welcoming, grounded, and easy to explore.

What You’ll Find at the Muddy Market

Trail-Ready Essentials- With direct access to nearby trails, the Muddy Market serves as a natural stop for hikers exploring Vroman’s Nose and the surrounding area. You’ll find practical outdoor essentials, hiking snacks, and grab-and-go provisions suited for days spent on the trail, along with portable food from Trailhead designed to travel well.

Grab-and-Go Food & Baked Goods- A rotating selection of grab-and-go sandwiches, freshly baked goods, and simple snacks is available for those heading out for a hike or looking for something easy and satisfying. Offerings change with the season and are designed to be enjoyed on the move or back at the farm.

Thoughtfully Curated Goods- Alongside trail-ready items, the market offers a curated mix of farm-made and locally sourced goods. This includes handmade jewelry, clothing, apothecary goods, candles, bath and body products, and small gifts chosen to feel useful, special, and easy to take along.

Farm & Trail Merchandise- A rotating selection of Muddy Brook Farm, Trailhead, and Vroman’s Nose merchandise is also available. These simple keepsakes are inspired by the surrounding landscape and everyday life on the farm.

Flowers from the Farm- Seasonal flowers grown on the farm are woven throughout the market. Guests are invited to select from dried blooms and stems, which can be arranged into custom bouquets by our farmer and florist — a thoughtful way to take a piece of the farm home with you.

Workshops & Seasonal Gatherings

Throughout the year, the Muddy Market also serves as a space for occasional workshops and small gatherings connected to the rhythms of the farm. These offerings change with the seasons and may include hands-on workshops, creative classes, and casual community moments centered around food, craft, and time spent together.

Offerings may include floral arranging, dried flower workshops, herbal oil making, yoga classes, paint and sips, seasonal cooking demonstrations, and other farm-inspired experiences. Workshops are announced as they’re scheduled and are designed to feel relaxed, welcoming, and rooted in the place.
