Vermont's Ski and Cheese Paradise: Mad River Taste Place with Jordan Schaefer
In this episode Nicole and Sarah welcome Jordan Schaefer, who runs marketing and events for the Mad River Taste Place in Vermont's Mad River Valley (Waitsfield, Vt). Jordan shares her journey from urban living to embracing the Vermont lifestyle, highlighting the unique offerings of the Mad River Taste Place, a specialty grocery store featuring local Vermont products.
We loved delving into the art of building the perfect cheese board, with Jordan offering expert tips on pairings and selections, including recommendations for apres ski snacks and hosting.
Jordan spotlights local Vermont cheeses and producers, particularly praising Von Trapp Farmstead's Mount Alice brie-style cheese. We also touch on ski culture in the Mad River Valley, the experience of transitioning to rural mountain life, and the unique school ski programs available for children in Vermont. We conclude with information about upcoming events at the Mad River Taste Place, including their Saturday sampling series during farmers market season.
