At VERMONT Magazine, we intend to keep showcasing these classic emblems of Vermont. As we enter a new decade, however, we are equally excited to highlight other components of our Vermont identity. From Health & Wellness to Architecture; Young Entrepreneurs to Legacy Businesses; Cutting-edge Technology to Hand-crafted Jewelry; Vermont is at the forefront. I would add one more key ingredient to the magical mix of Vermont today: ROMANCE. There’s a reason so many people fall in love here. And there’s a reason why so many choose to get married here. Vermont is a romantic place. The art, the music, the fresh food, the cozy firesides, the comfy flannels, the creamy chocolate, the famed moonlight—are all a core part of who we are. So —please think of this issue as an early Valentine from us at VERMONT Magazine to you.
