It’s that time of year again, the small window in which Vermont’s forests are flooded with the curling fronds of ferns known as fiddleheads. A beauty to behold in the woods, these ferns are also pretty darn tasty. Usually found bordering lakes, streams, and bogs, fiddleheads can also be found in markets for about a week or so in the areas […] read more »
I wish I had a good camera with me on the way to work this morning. As I drove over Red Bridge, I noticed three ducks dancing on the edge of the receding ice above the dam that separates Echo Lake from Lake Pauline. It was a lovely sight that underscored for me the beauty of not only each season […] read more »
Spring has sprung in Vermont, and that means its maple syrup time. When the temperatures get warmer, the sap starts to run. And that means hundreds of maple sugar-daddies (and sugar-mamas) begin the mad rush to tap their maple trees in order to capture every delightful drop of amber-y goodness! Typically maple syrup is categorized as a simple carbohydrate, but […] read more »
If you’ve visited Green Mountain at Fox Run in the past few years, you might be familiar with one of our dinner servers, Millicent Johnson. She deftly delivers the evening meal to our guests several nights a week. But what many folks don’t know is that Millicent owns Dairy-Aire Farm (you have to just love that name, right?) and a growing dairy bacterial […] read more »

This wonderful cold weather tradition is almost enough to make a person wish for snow. When the hot maple syrup hits the cold powdery […] read more »
Today’s post is courtesy of Lisa Fennimore, our fabulously-talented sous and pastry chef at Green Mountain. We’re so happy she agreed to blog for us occasionally. We’re sure you’ll agree once you start reading her wonderful take on healthy eating. It’s that time of year again, when wood smoke begins to scent the air and tourists flock to the Green […] read more »
When people think of Vermont, they think of beautiful autumn colors, quaint villages, white church steeples and pastures full of charming black and white Ben and Jerry’s dairy cows. (I know they’re called Holsteins for you aggies out there — but does it really matter?). Well, it’s all true and it’s all here right now. I may not be the best ambassador for Vermont (I’m still […] read more »
Getting back to blogging is getting back to a routine I’ve had going for about four or five years now. It got me to thinking about other routines in my life. Being a dietitian and a foodie (maybe I should put foodie first), of course I started thinking about my food routines. This is a great time of year to […] read more »
