I loved your article. It took me right into the festival. I’m a cheese, animal, ice cream, country, and people lover too. I was fascinated by the name Von Trapp, as I was reminded of The Sound of Music. Lord willing, maybe I can go one of these years.

I also enjoyed hearing about your daughter’s dream of having her own goats. How wonderful.

Thank you for my arm chair trip 😁

Fantastic! You took me back to a few years I lived in VT growing up. My heart felt the air and yearned to be back.

Makes me want to visit Vermont for sure! Been looking for a good sourse of Herkimercheese for years.

You are such a wonderful writer. I relish reading all of your posts. You're no slouch when it comes to taking amazing photos either. I wanted to reach through the screen and give that adorable sleeping calf a smooch. Thank you for another reliably vivid and entertaining piece about our "Brave Little State".

There is something special about Vermont cheeses and cheese makers. The last time I was in Vermont I attended an apple festival, and sampled cheese from so many vendors. This was like a walk down memory lane, thank you.

What a wonderful celebration of locally produced food! We all need more of these in our regions.
