Made in Vermont is a theme that may not be flashy, but it continues to sell, year after year. The Gingerbread Country Store (Highway 7, Middlebury, Vermont) offers a wide variety of regional food and gifts, and offers gift basket and gift parcel service. Shown here, pancake mix, syrup, maple sugar candies, jams and homespun kitchen towels fill the hand-hewn tree block basket. Due to the cost of the container, customers often opt to have the fine Vermont products packed in a gift box rather than the basket. Samplings of regional products like these are shipped nationwide year ‘round.
