Experience Farm-Fresh Flavor in Vermont
Program Number: 8934
Maple Sugarin' In Vermont: A Sweet History
Come along for a trip through maple time in Vermont, from the 1600s to the mid-twentieth century. Betty Ann Lockhart introduces the origins of the 'Flavor of Vermont', the tools of the sugaring trade and the personalities who launched maple sugar to world fame. The Abenakis were discoverers of the sweet sap that flowed from Vermont's trees, and Thomas Jefferson was an early promoter of it. During the Civil War, maple sugar was cheered as the moral alternative to cane sugar- the latter having been produced by slave labor- and in subsequent wars, it was shipped to U.S. troops around the world. Enriched with maple-inspired songs, recipes and legends, Maple Sugarin' in Vermont illuminates not just the industry, but also the culture of maple sugar in the Green Mountain State.
Seasons in a Vermont Vineyard: The Shelburne Vineyard Cookbook
Vermont is a food lover's paradise. From its verdant and fertile farmland, regional specialties are emerging. We have an abundant selection of locally raised meats, poultry, produce and fruits, as well as world-class artisanal cheeses, award-winning spirits, ciders, beers and, of course, wine. Shelburne Vineyard is recognized as a pioneer in cold-climate winemaking, producing expertly crafted wines from Vermont and regionally grown hybrid grapes. With original mouthwatering recipes crafted especially for this new edition, this book celebrates a generation of outstanding wines and the affinity of food and wine produced from the same northern terroir.
The Land of Milk and Honey: A History of Beekeeping in Vermont
Land of Milk and Honey: A History of Vermont Beekeeping follows the trials and tribulations of beekeepers in Vermont. This dramatic history begins in the early 1800’s following the life and times of inspired beekeepers that are the advance guard of a line of notable beekeepers that is to stretch through the centuries into modern times. Readers will discover a beekeeping lineage born and raised within a single Vermont county, and establishes a continuity of beekeeping knowledge and skill spanning more than a century. The lineage of beekeeping concludes in the present day as apiculturists throughout the world face some of the most challenging times in over 200 years with the possibility of honey bee extinction rearing its ugly head. Is it possible that by reflecting on the history of Vermont’s beekeepers we can find clues about what is needed to help the honey bee thrive today and well into the future? Land of Milk and Honey will also explore the relationship between the people of Vermont and the countryside they inhabit: a land and people that shift and change through the centuries in ways that directly impact the health and well-being of bees and its beekeepers.
Sweet Days and Beyond: The Morse Family - Eight Generations of Maple Sugaring
In his charming account of growing up in a maple sugaring operation in Northern Vermont, Burr Morse, a seventh generation maple sugar farmer, shares wonderful stories and folk tales that offer a deeper understanding of the hard work and dedication it takes to live such a lifestyle. Delightful images bring to life the four seasons, animals, and other characters who share his world. The result is a five season Vermont experience full of sweet and sometimes bittersweet tales.
Sugar Words: Musings from an Old Vermonter
Sugar Words nicely blends Burr’s most recent tales with a look at the Vermont “vesta”.

So many wonderful speakers on this trip - I learned how hard-working Vermont farmers are and have a new appreciation of all of the amazing products that come from their hard work. Our group leader knew the area well, as did our bus driver, which made the trip very personal and informative. The Middlebury Inn was beautiful and full of charm and character - the room was a little tight for (2) adult friends to share. The chef at the inn was great, and as one of your speakers, showed us lots of recipes served at the Inn - such a fun guy to watch and ask questions of - super talented.
Everyone in our group was friendly and nice to get to know - so many backgrounds and previous trips to share.
This was my first trip and I can't wait to do more!

This Program gave me a real understanding of what farming really is including it's history and it's many challenges. I was also impressed with the emphasis on how climate change is impacting the lives of farmers and their families. The Leader was fantastic and made the experience even better!

My perspective on the amount of manual labor, science and passion that goes into putting food on my table has been changed forever through this program. As an added benefit, I will be a better cook and much kinder to my environment.

Come hungry to the Farm Fresh Flavors in Vermont! Diets are all out the window for this culinary romp through the apple, maple, wine, and ice cream stops you make. This is a fun and fascinating trip to get to know more about Vermont history and current farming techniques. Did you ever see a cow milked by a robot? Now I can saw that I have! And you can, too, if you indulge in this great program.

This trip was way beyond my expectations! Lillian is a fabulous guide. She is warm, funny, professional, and a great storyteller. She absolutely made the trip for me. The lectures and demos were all very informative, relevant, and yummy! The field trips into the Vermont countryside were very well planned and instructional, and once again, yummy. You will get more good food than you can eat! The accommodations were very lovely and comfortable with, once again, great food. I highly recommend this tour.

Have ever seen a Vermont fall? there is nothing to compare to the reds, yellows and oranges of changing leave on the mountains and hills of Vermont!The friendly farmers who thrive through hardships of winter and unforeseen events to sell their homemade and homegrown goods at the local markets and never get tired of repeating their personal stories over and over.

Excellent presentations on food preparation from professional chefs. Interesting and informative lectures by local goat farmer/cheese-maker, bee keeper, and maple sugar infuser. Field trips to apple orchard, vineyard/winery and cider and maple syrup producers provided good information and insight into Vermont's food industries.
— Review left November 8, 2021
Great trip! Learned a lot about Vermont that I did not know. Lillian our tour guide was fun and very knowledgeable. The Chefs were both very good, taught us dishes that were replicable. This was not a hands on demo. The Brandon Inn was clean and accommodating. Be aware there are stairs to the rooms. The staff is willing to take you on the elevator. The town is quite small but very lovely to walk abought. Would definitely recommend. The peak for leaves, which is under Mother Nature control , was the week before but still loads of color, plus on field trip days we traveled at different elevations so was able to see an array of colors.

I must comment on the trip concierge Lillian Sheren. All of your trip leaders are good but Lillian was outstanding. Her warm friendly open attitude was contagious. Her assiduous preparation allowed her to entertain us with local lore on long bus trips and other breaks.
I believe that she could be used to train other tour leaders.
I enjoyed the tour. Being more of a food consumer than a food producer, I particularly enjoyed Shelbourne farms
— Review left November 15, 2019
What made this informative, entertaining (and foodie heaven) program even better was the group leader, Lilian Sheren. Lilian is magnetic, highly likable, consistently down-to-earth, tactful, exudes warmth and humor, and takes charge in a way that inspires confidence rather than contempt. The program was such a good experience it would be hard to imagine it anywhere but at the Brandon Inn. I’m glad I went.
— Review left September 13, 2019
The historical location was intriguing. The food at the Inn was fabulous and the variety of food made and presented by the various instructors was delicious because the participants helped in making or demonstrating the food which we enjoyed at meals.
