Vermont Country Store

A Virtual Emporium and a Vermont Landmark

By , About.com Guide

You don't have to live in Vermont or even visit to love the Vermont Country Store. You simply need to have been the recipient of one of its folksy catalogues filled with ads for long underwear, old-fashioned nostrums, and classic candies.

Yet the Vermont Country Store is more than a virtual emporium. The apotheosis of rustic retailing, the Vermont Country Store has two logs-and-mortar locations in its home state, in the towns of Weston and Rockingham.

In the Vermont Country Store's Apothecary area, you'll find rare elixirs and potions good for what ails you - along with obscure conditions your hypochondriacal mind may not have yet conceived. My husband, for example, located Stomach Rescue, a natural supplement intended to fight the four primary sources of food poisoning. I meanwhile, went to town sampling the variety of cheddar cheeses. Whatever your pleasure (or if you're looking for new ones), a visit to the Vermont Country Store is great fun for two.
