If you haven’t noticed fall is officially here! The leaves are at their peak, the temperatures are dropping, and the apples and pumpkins are ready to be picked. Know what else it means……CIDER! Ciders seem to be making a bit of a comeback and Farnum Hill, right here in Lebanon, is producing some of the best hard cider around. Now these ciders aren’t the super sweet, mass produced ciders that can be found in just about any liquor store in America, these are the real deal. Farnum Hill offers multiple varieties, each packed with complex flavors and delightful unique aromas, a real treat for anybody willing to give it a try. And if you’re hungry, ciders can paired with food-the same way wine and beer have been done for years. Farnum Hill Ciders can be found in variety of locations throughout NH, VT, and MA.

Weekend Fun in the Upper Valley

Carol Robert — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 13:54:02 +0000

Something special caught my eye this weekend that I think everybody in the Upper Valley should see… VERMONTASAURUS! I was heading up to Lake Fairlee for some water recreation this past weekend when the monster they call Vermontasaurus suddenly arose in the distance. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Vermontasaurus, it is a 25ft tall, 120ft long dinosaur replica made entirely of scrap lumber. It was quite a sight! I had read stories about this now legendary creature in the Valley News, but nothing compares to seeing this spectacular sight in person. If you are looking for something to get you out of the house this weekend, take the kids up to Thetford and introduce them to Vermontasaurus.

Art in the Upper Valley: One more reason to invest in Lebanon NH Real Estate

Carol Robert — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:32:43 +0000

The Ava Gallery and Art Center, located at 11 Bank Street just off the Green in Lebanon New Hampshire, is another amazing organization that helps make life here in the Upper Valley have that “metropolitan” feel. Who would think that an arts organization the caliber of AVA would be located in our backyard? The fact that it does exist is a testament to the diversity of people who have chosen to call this area their home and reflects the incredible cultural depth they bring with them. Carol and I have attended several AVA silent auctions. The art available for purchase is always interesting and exciting. Carol and I often find a piece we must have – in fact one hangs in our Hanover office. This past Friday evening we attended an artists opening that was well attended by a wide variety of interesting Upper Valley residents. Cocktails and finger food make the experience of mixing with the crowd and viewing works from the various artists that much more enjoyable. After cocktails and art at AVA, we joined some friends at Elixer in White River Jct. VT and enjoyed some live music with our dinner. Ahhh, life here is good……:-)
