Good Morning Coffee Lovers,
As spring brings the Green Mountains into full bloom we here at Brown and Jenkins are starting t0 see the influx of tourists who choose Vermont as their vacation destination for the spring and summer months. In fact, our Lake House Blend Coffee is named in honor of summers spent on the pristine local waters of Lake Champlain, Lake Carmi and so many more nearby vistas!
Local Vermont Vacation Destinations
If you don't know, our state is a haven for hikers, campers, kayak-ers and canoe-ers. History buffs seek out our covered bridges. And locals swarm to the swimming holes among the Lamoille River.
In fact, with gas prices so high, I'm noticing more and more locals opting for "stay-cations" where you take advantage of sites near home. And we have some truly unique destinations from the pedestrian Church Street out in Burlington to the breath taking hiking trails up along Smuggler's Notch right in Jeffersonville.
Smuggler's Notch
Also in Jeffersonville is the Smuggler's Notch Distillery. Unlike the prohibition era for which Smuggs was named, you can freely buy Smuggler's Notch vodka make with Vermont spring water. What a fun gift or souvenir! And if you find the process of roasting coffee beans interesting, I think you'll find the vodka making process intriguing too.
Not that I'm suggesting you add a splash of anything to your daily Celebes Kalossi coffee! In my opinion, it can hold up on its own! Still- Vermont has a lot to offer.
Let me know your favorite local spots and recommendations so that I can share them with our coffee community.
Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
