ILoVermont -- Part I: Healthy Living

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

I was back on the east coast for the last week of August visiting family and friends. My favorite part of the trip was a short roadtrip to Vermont to see my aunts and cousins-in-law. I was reminded of just how beautiful Vermont is, how much I adore my in-laws, and how much amazing organic food is grown in the state.

Our first stop was Burlington where we got to explore Healthy Living, a truly wonderful natural foods store owned by my aunt Katy and her kids, Nina and Eli. They've been working their butts off for over a year to open a new, expanded store. Boy, is it gorgeous -- the new Healthy Living store puts Whole Foods to shame! You can check it out via the slideshow below.



If you like to cook, the store is an earthly version of paradise. They make a huge effort to sell locally-grown veggies, fruit, cheeses, meats, breads, etc. Their prepared foods are delicious. And they sell the most delightful home goods and personal care goodies, too.


Stay tuned for ILoVermont part II, our visit to Sunrise Farm, a small organic CSA near White River Junction that is run by my cousin-in-law, Norah. And if you are lucky enough to live in Burlington and aren't already a devoted Healthy Living customer, you might want to give it a try!
