The best sweet treat of fall has arrived at orchards across Vermont: the apple cider donut. This is my favorite type of donut, and I love traveling around the state for nuanced taste tests of them all – some sugared, some not. Cider donuts are definitely the tastiest […]
It’s no secret that Hen of the Wood is my favorite restaurant in Vermont. For years, it has been on my Vermont bucket list to have dinner in the acclaimed Butcher Room, a private dining experience for 6-12 on a butcher-block table off of the kitchen at Hen. […]
Read articles Erin McCormick has written for, been featured in, or contributed to in publications such as HuffPo, Boston.com, Seven Days, Burlington Free Press and more. Travel Like a Local: Vermont in the Media Mistakes Tourists Make While Visiting Vermont While many residents of the Green Mountain State […]
I get asked for Vermont recommendations on a daily basis and a common question I hear is: When’s the best time to visit Vermont? This is such a loaded question since every season in Vermont is special and so different. Some folks love visiting for ski season specifically […]
How’s the weather in Vermont? Working with people from all over the country, whenever we pop on a call, the first question is about the weather in Vermont. Maybe it’s the arctic chills we can get in the depths of February – or the warm ups that have […]
My husband and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day in the traditional sense. You see, one of the biggest real estate conferences (yes, I’m a Vermont Realtor if you need one!) I attend is always on or over Valentine’s Day weekend. We typically do something informal during the week… […]
Those who know and love me know that I am a huge fan of charcuterie boards. I could eat meat and cheese for breakfast. I also firmly believe that meat-and-cheese boards make a well-rounded, throw-together meal. In addition to your meat and cheese, add some cornichon for some […]
I am sucker for gin. Growing up, I remember my dad sipping on Gin & Tonics and watching golf. I would have my glass of tonic with a lime and accompany him. As an adult, G&Ts have become my go-to cocktail when I’m not drinking local craft beer. […]
Growing up, I was a huge fan of the movie Dirty Dancing. Kellerman Resort, the camp where Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Gray) and Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) met, always seemed like the ideal getaway to me. It was a family-friendly summer destination with plenty of activities, family-style meals, […]
As someone who has trouble relaxing and shutting off my brain, and occasionally struggles with anxiety, I was eager to try CBD for its myriad health benefits. Since CBD has became popular (and legal) in Vermont, I’ve been trying as many CBD products as I can get my […]
Self care… To some, it means a night on the couch binging Netflix. To others, it means running regularly and eating healthy, locally grown food. Yet to others, it might mean regular massages, facials, hot yoga, and other healthy habits that contribute to the wellness of our mind […]
When I lived in Middlebury, I would frequently take the Appalachian Gap over to Fayston, Waitsfield, and Warren to explore in my favorite valley in Vermont… The Mad River Valley. I remember one distinct day in 2014. It was a summer afternoon in August, and I stopped at […]
I remember the first time I visited Whetstone Station, a craft beer destination with a killer rooftop bier garten in Southern Vermont. Brattleboro to be exact. We were picking up a friend from the airport in Boston and decided to make a craft beer adventure out of it. […]
When I first turned 21 in Vermont, the iconic Vermont Pub and Brewery located on College Street in downtown Burlington, was my first craft beer destination in the state. At the time, the craft beer scene in Vermont was building momentum. I remember being intrigued especially by a […]
I am not a baker. In fact, I really can’t follow a recipe… There’s something about my personality that likes to innovate. I don’t like to follow the rules. This means I can make a good meal out of just about anything in our fridge. But baking isn’t […]
