Taste your way through New England High Country
Take the high road and enjoy a bounty of delicious locally-grown produce and award-winning cool climate wines.
Lamb and beef raised here have long been sought after by chefs and specialist butchers across the state and further afield. Grazing on the region’s lush pastures, it seems, produces exceptionally tender and succulent cuts of meat. So be sure to pick up something from the local butcher or treat yourself to dinner at one of our fabulous restaurants, cafes or hearty country pubs.
Orchards flourish in our high altitude climate. In season, you can buy freshly-picked berries, apples, pears and stone fruits from farm gates and local markets, or head out of town to pick your own – a popular activity for families with children.
Around the region, discover a growing number of boutique producers creating delectable artisanal foods – perfect for popping into your picnic basket!
At the monthly farmer’s markets held in most of the towns, you’ll also find local honey, home-made jams and chutneys, olive oil, teas and, of course, assorted garden vegetables and free-range eggs, among the array of other tasty local food products for sale.
