VPR Cafe: Lunch!

http://www.vpr.net/audio/programs/249/2013/03/VPR-Cafe-General-stores-20130324.mp3

The heart of many of Vermont's towns and villages rests in their country stores. Patrons stop in for gas, a few groceries, and just as importantly - the latest news and lunch!

Ric Cengeri talks with Candace Page about the variety of menus you'll find at country stores around Vermont as well as how these stores and their communities hold each other together.

The VPR Café is produced in collaboration with The Burlington Free Press. Candy writes for the Free Press Savorvore Series.

You can read more about The Franklin General Store and watch a video of Spring Perras in the kitchen.

Here are links to the general stores mentioned in the VPR Cafe:

W.E. Pierce, North Shrewsbury

Morgan Country Store

The Warren Store

Putney General Store

Barnard General Store
