  • Growing up VT

    As someone who grew up spending weekends in an old farmhouse in Duxbury, VT and learning to ski at Sugarbush North back when you could get a free ski ticket on President’s Day by reciting the Gettysburg Address at the ticket booth, I absolutely love your podcast! While my mom has since passed, my stepdad still summers in Duxbury and I am continuing the VT legacy with my own home in Chester. There’s not much happening in VT, but always something to look forward to on the next trip.

In Rochester, Books, Community, and Cats
Q: When did you open your bookstore in Rochester and how did it start?
Sandy explains she opened the shop after moving to Rochester, transitioning from a prior role at Northshire, and gradually building the space from one room to a larger complex that now includes an annex and a bakery side to bring people in; the store evolved with the community and events she participated in before establishing The Bookery as a mainstay.
The Magic of Maple Season in Vermont
Q: What keeps you going year after year given the costs and energy involved?
Building and maintaining an infrastructure that has become part of their identity; the work is deeply rewarding, and the couple feel compelled to continue because sugaring connects them to nature and provides a meaningful way of life.
The Magic of Maple Season in Vermont
Q: Tell me about the ideal conditions for boiling and when the sap runs.
The sap runs best with warm daytime temperatures that wake the trees, followed by cold nights that allow sap flow to interrupt and restart; a window of mild sun, some rain or wet snow, and temperatures around 28-40 degrees at night creates the optimal cycle.
