Have you ever been to the Cabot's Creamery? I was surprised that the cheese is fairly discounted; B/C I thought they would soak the tourists. It's their anniversary and they are making some small batch artisan cheeses, which are delightful.
If you're ever at VCS in Rockingham, you must visit the Rockingham Meeting House; it's a well preserved 19th C building that has frozen in time. Wonderful to stroll through the burying grounds.
I haven't been in Vermont, since I was in college. I don't know why, but even though we have made many trips to Mass., N.H. and Maine, since living in Ct., we somehow never gone there. *shrugs*
Not a big cheese fan, so no, haven't even ever heard of Cabot's Creamery.
Love that picture you posted; it's something out of a time machine! :-)
