Should you find yourself in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, perhaps attending a Bread and Puppet show, swimming in Lake Willoughby or beseeching Galway Kinnell for a poem, you MUST stop at Red Sky Trading along Rt. 16 in Glover. This put-your-money-in-the-coffee-can shop housed in a small red barn vends the dearest vintage kitchen items: aprons, tumblers, pyrex and melamine, flour sifters and cherry pitters; AND the most delicious homemade baked & canned goods: relishes and preserves, creampuffs and cheesecake, the best cider donuts I've ever had and of course seasonal fruit PIES. See here for more information and here for photos. The self-serve set-up and grandma's kitchen aesthetic makes feel as though you've happened upon some ginghamed treasure nostalgic dream.

Red Sky Trading Company
Though the weather has finally shifted here, and apple picking, pumpkin patching, and molasses-making excursions have been planned, I have been nostalgic for Vermont lately, homesick for a Northern fall. I came across this picture, taken by my mama, a little over a year ago, of me at one of my favorite roadside stands, Red Sky Trading Company in Glover, VT.

Emily, where are you going to a sorghum boil (I assume you mean sorghum and not sugar cane, right?). Missed you Saturday. Also, where did you pick apples? Levering?
ReplyDeleteSteve was talking sorghum boil in a weekend or two...Sad to miss the party--we got back a little too late from apple picking, but I hope to make a future shindig. We picked at Ayers, which was near Levering, and brought some of your dilly beans for our picnic! I'm thinking apple butter (et al.) making this weekend...
ReplyDeleteI was bangin around the N East Kingdom recently for some MTB bliss and was struck by how local the locals were and how tastey the homegrown beer, ice cream, and blueberries were.
ReplyDeleteThe Kingdom is such a special place.
also MY mom's favorite place to stop! on the way to Parker Pie, of course, for pizza pie...
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, your mom and i discussed red sky once. i've never been to parker pie...next kingdom visit!
