‘Quechee’ Articles at Sweetnicks

Traveling to Vermont? The Quechee Gorge is a beautiful must-see for your list of things to do.

When the kids and I visited Vermont in the Spring, I had the Quechee Gorge on my list, but man, Vermont is BIG and WIDE, and even though I feel like we traversed all over that fair state, we weren’t close enough to Quechee to make it happen.

But this past weekend?

We did.

We had plans to visit a farm about forty-five minutes from where we were staying over the weekend, so I quickly looked to see how far the Quechee Gorge was from that, and when I saw it was only about fifteen minutes away, it was as good as done.

And man, was it ever worth it.

As we drove over the bridge, we took a peek down and it was breathtaking. One hundred and sixty five feet down, to be exact.

We parked in the adjacent lot, and then made our way over to the trail. I wanted to walk down to the very bottom, but my friend needed a little convincing.

If cheese is your happy place (me! me!), and you find yourself in Vermont, be sure to plan a stop at the Cabot Annex in Waterbury.

Food was definitely one of our focuses during our Spring Break trip through Vermont. Not so much in dining experiences (only one meal out of our week there was actually noteworthy), but more so in diving into all the different food items that Vermont is known for.

One of our overnights was most definitely planned around a visit to the Cabot store in Waterbury, because, well cheese. And that day and night actually ended up being our favorite of the entire trip because nearly everything we had planned to visit, including our hotel for the night, was up and down the same street.

A fun orchard and general store. The Ben & Jerry’s ice cream outlet. An outpost for Green Mountain Coffee. And although we visited a different location, Lake Champlain Chocolates also has a spot there as well.

When I say our trip focused on food, I’m not kidding.

And that’s not a bad thing at all.

I brought a cooler. I was prepared.

So Cabot.

I am a big fan of their cheese, especially commitment to farmers and their legacy. They are wholly owned by the 1200 farms that produce their products, and they have a huge commitment to sustainability. All of which I knew about and embraced well before I started working with them a few years ago.

Starting a working relationship with them just made me love them even more.
