The locavore movement has seized Vermont, specifically the majestic portion of the state known as the Northeast Kingdom.

This guidebook, written by Vermonter Bethany Dunbar, introduces readers to the Kingdom’s proud community and celebrates the bounty of its delicious products. In addition to compelling stories, useful listings, and interesting historical facts, Kingdom’s Bounty features photographs that capture the area’s natural beauty alongside intimate portraits of the families that thrive off the land. An introduction by acclaimed author and environmentalist Bill McKibben accompanies the book.
