About South Hero, Vermont |
| |
The town of South Hero
(pop. approx. 1,700) lies at the southern tip of the Champlain Islands,
a series of islands in
northern Lake Champlain stretching into Canada. South Hero’s
prime location in the valley between Vermont’s Green Mountains
and New York’s Adirondack Mountains makes it a popular destination
spot for tourists and an ideal region for agricultural productivity.
The tempering waters of surrounding Lake Champlain give the islands
a longer growing season than most areas of Vermont. While South Hero’s
agrarian roots lie in dairy and apples, the town’s agricultural
output is becoming more diversified. Several farmstands offer a variety
of fresh fruits and vegetables, and products such as
organic pastured poultry, and even wines from a local vineyard are
making their way into local markets. |
