Side Dishes: Vermont matters in Martha's new mag
Vermont is hot, hot, hot, and it's not just due to unusually warm May weather. Yet another national magazine, Martha Stewart's new Blueprint [1], features a slew of Vermont products in its May/June issue.
The three-quarter-page spread appears in a 17-page segment labeled "Perimeter: Personal Style from Every Angle." Write the editors: "Constant raves from the food department about all things Vermont — the local artisans, the quality ingredients, the lack of pretense — convinced us to take a closer look."
Which products did Martha's minions zoom in on? Dragonfly Sugarworks [2] maple syrup, Woodstock Water Buffalo [3] yogurt, Magic Hat [4]#9
,Green Mountain Granola [5], American Flatbread [6], Pop Soda [7] and a trio of artisan cheeses from Taylor Farm [8], Thistle Hill Farm [9] and Twig Farm [10]. No word on why they only chose cheeses from farms whose names begin with T.It's certainly nice to be called "a good thing." But if all this media attention touches off a rush on Vermont products, will there be any left for Vermonters?
