Woodstock, VT, has had an exciting time with the opening of two new restaurants: Positive Pie and Farmer and the Bell.

Positive Pie, located at 3 Elm Street, invites guests into its “cool, contemporary, comfortable, casual – yet always stylish – urban refuge from the ordinary.”

“Harvesting Italian flavors and infusing them with a Vermont Sensibility, our pledge is to take our food seriously,” the website said. 

The restaurant is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Farmer and the Bell, located at 69 Pleasant St., is owned by husband and wife Ben and April, who turned a passion for baking into a place where good food brings people together.

It offers “French crullers, dreamy drip coffee, maple creemees, cider doughnuts, and sandwiches on warm, homemade focaccia—crafted daily with local ingredients in the heart of Woodstock, VT. Whimsy in every bite. Warmth in every cup,” the website said.

The bakery is open Thursday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
