1/3/09: Farmers markets are not just for summer anymore.  Winter markets are sprouting up all over Vermont this year. 

Champlain Islands Farmers Market is a group of farmers, gardeners, crafters, artisans and bakers who have been selling their goods together for 4 years.  This is their first season of winter markets and you might be surprised by their wide selection of tasty and colorful offerings. 

It’s definitely worth a trip out to the islands for Sophie’s fresh buttermilk donuts, Sylvie’s homemade soap and Jennifer’s delectable sandwiches.

Music:  Greg Davis, Curling Pond Woods, “At My Window”
