Freight delivery in Freedom Falls Vermont.



A very long trip from Kansas but definitely worth the delivery of produce and other items.
In return the crew will receive fresh maple syrup and delicious breakfast french toast and pancakes.
And delicious apple cider and grape juice. A taste of Vermont at its best. Worth the long trip.

Photo courtesy of Chops124 and used with his permission. Thank you Jeff for the wonderful photos so far.
