Vermont's Cheese Trail

The next big trip we're considering is a road trip through New England next April/early May. I'll likely be in New York for work right before, so it's geographically handy (and cheap since my airfare will probably be taken care of) and plus, we've always talked about seeing that part of the world.

We'll likely spend our time in Massachusetts and Vermont. I've never been to Boston and it has always appealled. Might be the history, but just as likely, it's the beans. We're also hoping to stop in on a relative, who has the perfect Vermonty life (or so we've been lead to believe by her fabulous blog, Mackville Road).

But a big motivater is the food, and specifically, the cheese. I've recently read about the Vermont Cheese Trail. I think this is something that we should investigate. Unlike wine touring, you can ingest a lot of cheese and still get behind the wheel. Unless you're lactose-intolerant, I suppose. And then there's this great article from Gourmet on Harwick, Vermont - a once-forgotten hard-scrabble town that has turned into the poster child for local, sustainable food. We should go there!

But we're just at the idea stage right now. All contributions are welcome.
