There's no shortage of fresh, organic, and tasty food in Vermont, which ranks first in the U.S. for the most direct sales from local farmers to consumers. Browse Waterbury's summer farmers' market in Rusty Parker Park and you'll find artisanal cheeses made of cow, sheep, and goat milk; fresh pastas; free-range chickens; breads baked in wood-fire stoves; locally pressed apple cider; and a rainbow of brightly colored produce just plucked from the ground.
