August 2-8 is National Farmers Market Week and the best place in all of Vermont to celebrate this organic occasion is the Burlington Farmers Market. This market is right downtown in Burlington’s City Hall Park. The food here is unparalleled in quality and freshness. From Digger Mirth Collective arugula to Jericho Settlers’ Farm grass-fed beef, you’ll find the best tasting food in the Champlain Valley right here in downtown Burlington.

The Farmers’ Market happens every Saturday 8:30 am – 2:00 pm (May 9 – October 31) and features crafts, prepared foods, and the freshest produce.

Farmers’ Markets are heralded for supporting farmers, strengthening local economies, and generally helping people stay healthy. The Burlington Farmers’ Market does all this with the flare of a European style street market.

Here are a few downtown Burlington homes

You will be enchanted to attend any or all of the events celebrating Lake Champlain. I admire and respect this lovely body of water. Many times I fly in over the lake and feel the peace and calm the waters give to our small city of Burlington, Vermont.

I’ve sailed on Lake Champlain for 25 years and still marvel at the beauty of the high peaks of the Adirondacks on the west and the distant view of Camel’s Hump and Mt. Mansfield on the east. Where else in the US do you have a fresh body of water 120 miles long and only 3 miles wide with mountains clinging on the horizon?  I am a huge fan.

You should participate in the celebration – this weekend July 17 & 18 in Vergennes – French Heritage days at the restored Opera House will be terrific.  And the Otter Creek Basen and other areas in and around Vergennes will be hopping with activities.  Check it out  at www.champlain400.com
