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.

thanks that's awesome. I have the cheese connections, I'm a cheese society member and am actually going to be traveling part of the time with Cindy from Vermont Shepherd, but I really appreciate you putting all that together. and I'm so glad you included a bookstore worth checking out.

I carried Shelburne Farms Cheddar for years until an unfortunate cheese freezing incident during shipping.

Ah! See, I wish I could go on a cheese tour of Vermont! I love Cheese. :-)
(although I'm not knowledgable really, just an amateur) ;-)

Just to clarify - I was unclear above - NECI is a resteraunt - the New England Culinary Institute's resteraunt on Church Street. There are several good bookstores on Church street too. (and the charmingly crunchy/leftwingy "Peace and Justice store") I think my overall favorite is North Country Books which is a big comfy downstairs bookstore near the fountain at the end of church street.

Have a great time!
