Vermont: The Stage is Set for a Beautiful Foliage Season

Impending cool nights and reduced daylight hours will soon evoke the green leaves to transform to red, orange and yellow. In these early stages of fall foliage, the best colors can generally be found in higher elevations, the northern sections of the state, and in wetter low-lying areas, where swamp maples bring an early splash of crimson.


New this year, the Foliage Report will be issued Tuesdays, September 18-October 30. The Foliage Report will include a map that features best driving routes, an audio update and hiking/walking trail recommendations. The information will be comprised from a weekly survey of a more than a dozen state foresters, led by the state’s lead Foliage Forecaster, Michael Snyder, Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation.

With the highest percentage of maples trees in New England, one-third of which are sugar and red maples responsible for producing intense red hues, Vermont has the most vibrant fall foliage in the northeast. As Vermont is 76 percent forested and home to more than 50 state parks, leaf peepers can view expansive foliage across more than 300,000 acres of state-owned forests beautifully contrasted next to farm valleys, towns and waterways. 

VermontVacation.com tools for planning a Vermont Fall Foliage tour include:
  •     Lodging Availability & Midweek Packages
  •     Fall Foliage Forecaster
  •     Scenic Drives & Byways
  •     Fall Travel Tips

For more information, visit www.VermontVacation.com. Leaf peepers can also easily stay up-to-date on the color progression of Vermont’s foliage by calling the Fall Foliage Hotline at 1-800-VERMONT.

Vermont Dept. of Tourism Kicks Off Sixth Annual Apples to iPods Contest at 20 Apple Orchards

In this technology-meets-agriculture contest, one specially marked wooden apple is hidden in an apple tree at 20 Vermont pick-your-own apple orchards. Find a wooden apple and win an Apple iPod, iPod Shuffle or iPad.

 This good-natured promotion of Vermont’s working landscape, is in partnership with Woodchuck® Hard Cider, Small Dog Electronics, Vermont Tree Fruit Growers Association and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture. The State of Vermont first launched this promotion in 2007 with hopes of growing participation at Vermont pick-your-own orchards. Since the launch, participation has been incredibly ‘fruitful’ across Vermont.

Vermont's nearly 4,000 acres of commercial apple orchards, produce leading apple varieties: McIntosh, Cortland, Red Delicious and Empire. In 1999, the Vermont legislature designated the apple as the state fruit, and the apple pie as the state pie.
"Visiting Vermont's apple orchards is a family tradition and in true Vermont fashion, the 'Apples to iPods' contest makes this fall event even more fun," said Megan Smith, Vermont's Commissioner of Tourism and Marketing. "Apple picking is the perfect way to experience Vermont's gorgeous autumn landscape and participate in a festive and tasty activity."
For a second year, the Vermont Department of Tourism is also helping the Vermont Foodbank promote Pick for Your Neighbor, where visitors to participating orchards can pick and purchase extra apples to donate to the Foodbank. Last year, Pick for Your Neighbor made nearly 10,000 apples available to Vermonters in need. 
“Pick for Your neighbor is a win for all involved,” Michelle Wallace, Program Director at the Vermont Foodbank said. “Orchards see an economic benefit from increased sales, the Foodbank has access to fresh, local apples for distribution, and participants experience a great Vermont tradition while helping their neighbors in need.” 
For a list of participating orchards, please visit http://www.applestoipods.com and plan your trip at http://www.vermontvacation.com. Learn about "Pie chi" from this video with Shelburne Orchard's Nick Cowles.
