Going to Vermont

[gordonzola]

So, I just did it, I booked my tickets to go to the only states in the country I’ve never visited and check out dairy farms and cheese makers. Does it snow in Vermont and Maine in April? I don’t want to die!

I’ve got a lot of things planned already, but it there anything, especially in Vermont, that I need to see or check out? Unfortunately, I had to shorten this vacation because of some construction/production issues at work, but Vermont appears to be like the size of my high school parking lot so I can probably fit some other things in if you, Dear Readers, have suggestions.

And, oh yeah, I had fun touring the Cabot store but admit that Cabot is sort of in the category of "quite good supermarket cheese" but the fun thing is all the cheesy comestibles they have (like various cheese flavors to shake on popcorn!)

Dakin Farms is also fun. It's a little like a "VT tourist place for foodies" I guess - they have excellent Maple Syrup, yummy horseradish cheese dip, really tasty maple smoked jerky... that sort of thing. Good food. They are near us in Charlotte so not that far from Burlington either.

Have fun! VT is a lovely state - the prettiest time is arguably the fall but that's also the busiest and the lake is lovely in the spring.

the funny thing here in LA? Cabot is a real 'fancy' cheese that you can only get at Trader Joe's because supermarkets don't really carry it.

Heh. Well, it IS good I think. Or I should say that I enjoy it and I've heard other people say it is pretty good too, just not "artisnal".

Also, you can get fancier cabot here in VT probably.

OOH! I miss Trader Joe's! When I lived in Nashua NH I used to shop there all the time. sigh... :-)
