Have you ever wondered what happens to the soap you leave behind in your hotel room when on vacation? Or what about that small bottle of shampoo? Does it really just go into the trash?  In the United States alone, more than 1.5 million bars of gently used soap are thrown away every day. At the same time, it is estimated that 9,000 children a day die from diseases that can be prevented by simple hand washing. The Housekeeping Department at Stowe Mountain Lodge decided to do something about these harsh statistics.

It may be hard for some to believe that Vermont is known for its pizza, but it’s true--flatbread pizza that is. And Hourglass at Stowe Mountain Lodge takes the farm-to-table flatbread pizza concept to a new level!

I have an insurance incentive group arriving in a couple of weeks that really wanted to experience a truly unique Vermont dining experience. Together, we discussed our Farm to Table experience at Stowe Mountain Lodge where we bring in local cheese makers, farmers, and wine makers to be on hand to answer questions from attendees and talk about their products.  While Farm to Table is not uncommon these days, our groups have had a lot of fun getting to interact, share, and learn from our local food partners. It humanizes the plate and breaks down the distance between local producer and visiting consumer.
