5. You'll find it all at the general store.

8. Farm to table fresh
As pioneers of the farm to table movement, you'll always find fresh foods to make a delicious meal. Often from the farmers themselves!
9. Gorgeous drives
It's not just the scenery, either. There are no billboards to block it so we can actually enjoy the commute!

12. Country lanes
There's always something to be found and seen while exploring the back roads of Vermont. Sunday drives can happen any day of the week in Vermont.
13. Unique State Parks
They are sometimes in a forest, sometimes on an island, and sometimes in busy areas. Each one is unique and all are incredible.
14. It will always be home.
Perhaps the best privilege of living in Vermont is that no matter where we go, we can always call it home.
