SKI VERMONT SPECIALTY FOOD TOUR 2012

Vermont Ski Areas Association, the Agency of Agriculture and the Vermont Maple Foundation have once again teamed up to promote Vermont specialty foods at resorts this winter by offering skiers and riders samples of a variety of treats at scheduled Ski Vermont Specialty Food Days. Many of the dates are in conjunction with large events happening at the ski areas.

Well established Vermont landmark products available include Vermont maple syrup, Cabot award-winning cheddar cheese, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Westminster gourmet crackers, and Green Mountain Coffee organic house blend. Additional smaller scale Vermont specialty food producers include Liz Lovely Cookies, Vermont Natural Foods, Yee Yees, Vermont Peanut Butter, Battenkill Brittle, Nutty’s Steph’s Granola, Vermont Smoke and Cure, Yummy Yammy, Vermont Granola Company, Olivia’s Croutons and Two Guys in Vermont soups will join the sampling events to showcase their assortment of products in Ski Vermont’s farm to plate program.

"Along with skiing and riding, resort guests are thrilled to sample Vermont's unique and tasty products and learn more about the specialty food industry in Vermont," said Parker Riehle, President of Ski Vermont. "The ski and agricultural industries of Vermont have a strong alliance. We're proud that our business community is as well rounded as our cuisine; we want people who visit Vermont to experience our healthy, hearty way of life, on the slopes and at the table of our resort restaurants and within our communities."
