Time for Lunch!

Last week’s “Best of FPF” was a posting from Stephanie in the New North End of Burlington, asking for recommendations of some of the best General Stores and Country Stores in Vermont that serve a delicious lunch. 

Because the posting was shared across the state, hundreds of members responded to their own forums. (We did not double-check spelling, exact locations, or determine whether they exactly meet the definition of General/Country Store.)
