I had the distinct pleasure of reviewing the cafe at Newport Natural Foods. Naturally, I had to do a lot of "research" for this one. Read more here. |

Last winter, a bus full of children unloaded for a day of skiing. You could tell which kids were into it, charging ahead on their skis, and the kids who weren't--shoulders slumped, heads down, slugging through ... >> Read more |

My brother Shane, and the millions of other individuals with intellectual disabilities,
already struggle with so many things. Why, then, is it so common to hear
people using their plight as a derogatory term for when something is
messed up? >> Read more (Kids Vermont, Sept. 2011) |

Subaru Drive Magazine, Fall 2011 The green leaves of sugar maples, red maples,
oaks, birch, beech, poplars, and ash transform to the richest golds,
mustards, crimsons, maroons, and oranges. Like the mountains are afire,
the colors seem to take on a life of their own, a natural phenomenon you
should see at least once in your lifetime.
There’s nothing like a Vermont road trip on a
crisp, clear, autumn day and marveling at the colors of the season. Each
year, 3.7 million people from around the world visit Vermont in autumn
to view the splendor of the Green Mountain State’s most colorful season.
Leaf turning coincides with the harvest season, so it’s a wonderful
time to visit the state to sample locally produced vegetables, pies,
meats, and world-famous cheeses along your drive. >>Read more here. |

College town, cultural hub, food mecca, business center — Burlington
is the largest city in Vermont, famous for its striking setting on Lake
Champlain and its spirited, lively and hip downtown.
The anchor of it all is the Church Street Marketplace, an
oft-photographed blend of New England architectural gravitas and
contemporary means and attitudes. For most visitors, free time is well
spent along this four-block pedestrian mall or in the nearby streets
that form a compact grid perched on a hillside above the lake. Read more here.

I had so much fun meeting this yak herd in Waitsfield and the people who run the business. The Vermont Yak Co. is the only known yak herd in Vermont, and possibly New England. I love writing about farming and agriculture, and this unique assignment was no exception. Special thanks to Curtis Savard who shot this assignment -- what great photos! |

If
you think Hawaii is all beach bums and Mai Tais, look no further than
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The active and unpredictable
333,086-acre park is a fascinating—and humbling—up-close look at the
earth’s underbelly. Hiking over the steaming caldera (cauldron-like
depressions) and catching sight of flowing lava offers a perspective
that’s as beautiful as it is unsettling.

Family goat dairy makes its mark with Mexican-style carmel
Judith Irving, her husband, Steve Reid, and Judith's daughters, Calley and Josey Hastings, run Fat Toad Farm, set over six acres on a quiet dirt road in Brookfield. Judith and Steve, in their early 60s, and Calley and Josey, in their 20s, have been connected with Vermont agriculture for most of their lives. Steve raised sheep, pigs and other farm animals growing up in nearby Randolph. Calley majored in sustainable agriculture at the University of Vermont, and for years, the family gardened extensively and raised animals for family needs. Read more>> |
