Cafe a la Carte

“Upscale street cart.” It sounds like an oxymoron, right? Aren’t street carts supposed to serve hot dogs and soft pretzels?

Strolling of the Heifers

It is that time of year once again, that’s right, the Strolling of the Heifers here in Brattleboro. You may be thinking why or who would possibly want to see a bunch of cows walk down Main Street? It is pretty clear by last year’s photos as to who would attend such an event, everyone! [...]

Brattleboro Farmers Market

There is a movement across America to begin purchasing products that are made locally.  Whole Foods, food cooperatives and local grocers have gained serious popularity in the last few years.
