Why Vermont?

Many people ask me why Vermont? I have lived in many states and have chosen Vermont. Why not choose Vermont, I reply. Every single season is beautiful even when it rains. Vermont has a camaraderie unlike any other place I have lived; neighbors are there for each other, you recognize people around town and people always smile and say hi.



Vermonters have a passion driven behind everything they do and it is know as Vermont Strong. Vermont Strong is when neighbors, friends, strangers get together to help others out in need, as we saw after tropical storm Irene.

There is this strange season called stick season, yup stick season. It is in the fall after 95 percent of the leaves have blown away and there is no snow in the mountains. It is this dull grey world at first glance, but once you see it in the early morning or later afternoon light it is beautiful again.

You know winter is right around the corner when you step outside and smell a wood fire. It lingers in the air like a cake fresh out of the oven and never leaves your nostrils.

There is endless amounts of fun activities in the winter including, skiing, sledding, snowball fights and anything else that makes us adults feel and act like kids again. Once that white stuff called snow begins falling from the skies and sticking to the ground the fun begins.

We have dairy. Yup, Cheddar cheese and Ben & Jerry's ice cream. What else could you ask for in your diet? I just ate a pint of What a Cluster!

And if dairy isn't your fancy come try some of our beer. The Long Trail Brewing Company has released a limited release for a new brew called “Goodnight Irene”. The proceeds from sales of this beer will be distributed throughout multiple organizations working towards Irene relief. What's cooler than that?




So why not come visit us here in the great state of Vermont. We love visitors and in less than a month Stowe will be open for skiing!

See you up here in Vermont!
