Shelburne, VT (February, 2017) The Vermont Cheesemakers Festival will mark its ninth annual appearance on the shores of Lake Champlain at the historic Coach Barn at Shelburne Farms on July 16, 2017 from 10 AM to 4 PM to celebrate the art of cheesemaking in Vermont. Attendees can meet cheesemakers and taste the cheeses of Vermont, enjoy the creations of artisan food producers, savor the fruits of wine and cider production, and experience the skills of craft brewers and master distillers. The festival has been chosen as a “Top Ten Summer Event in Vermont” by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and was recently named as one of the “1000 experiences to have before you die” in the recent revision of “1000 Places to See in the United States and Canada Before You Die”. This year, the event will include our returning platinum sponsors, Yankee Magazine, and the Vermont Dairy Promotion Council. Gold sponsors include Shelburne Farms, Vermont Creamery, Cabot Creamery, Grafton Village Cheese Company, Accutech, Good Food Foundation, and Provisions International. New sponsors include Ullmer’s Dairy Equipment in Pulaski, WI and Kenyon Grills International in Clinton, CT.
Along with 45 Vermont cheesemakers, this year’s event will include over 90 food and beverage producers including 15 new exhibitors. Enjoy seemingly endless options for tasting, sampling, and pairing opportunities. For those looking to immerse themselves in the experience even further, this year we are offering special VIP tickets which will allow guests reserved seating at cheese workshops and cooking demos. VIP passes are available online now until the festival. In addition to admission to the workshops and demos, the VIP ticket will provide pass holders with valet parking, a separate entrance to the festival and a special swag bag.
“The quality and range of the artisan cheese available in Vermont is astounding,” says Tom Bivins, Executive Director of the Vermont Cheese Council. “The festival allows food lovers to connect with our craft food producers, and the artisans responsible for their favorite cheeses. Attendees get to experience the rural connections, communities, working landscape, and the tastes that makes Vermont such a remarkable place to live and work.”
The workshops offer opportunities to hear cheesemakers, vintners, brewers, and distillers discuss their products in connection with some of the best loved cheeses made in Vermont, creating pairings with some of the most remarkable ciders, beers, wines and spirits of the season.
Tickets are $60 per person for general admission to the festival or $100 for the VIP pass. Tickets are online at vtcheesefest.com. The Festival sells out well in advance of the event date, so early ticket reservations are encouraged.

Prefer electric cooking rather than gas or charcoal? Kenyon, an American company that makes specialty electric grills—including some for use on boats, offers the Frontier Electric Grill, engineered for indoor or outdoor use. It’s flare-up- and smoke-free and has a double-lined lid that locks in heat while keeping the exterior safe for kids. Bonus: The lid, grate, and drip tray are made of marine-grade stainless steel and can be put in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
On newstands now – the City Grill is featured in Boston Home Magazine’s Trending Section. Perfect for apartments and condos where gas and charcoal grills are restricted.
Is the City Grill worth the price? The Spruce answers this question and more in their recent review:
The Bottom Line
Generally electric grills are a compromise. A compromise for the person who can’t have an open flame where they live, or at least where they cook. And a compromise between size and heat. A fire can be as big and as hot as it can be built, but an electric heating element can only draw so much amperage as the plug will allow (please don’t send me a lesson on electric engineering). This electric grill from Kenyon produces high temperatures under a relatively small space, but is built to last of quality materials.
It costs more (around $500USD) but is worth the investment.
Pros
High temperature output for a 120 volt electric grill
If you are reading this review you probably live in a situation where an open flame is not allowed. Electric grills don’t generally produce the kind of heat that gas or charcoal grills can. This is electric grill from Kenyon is close. Part of the reason is that unlike more electric grills this one is built by a company that specializes in electric cooking.
Kenyon builds portable and built in electric grills as well as electric cook tops so they know what they are doing. They also build high quality products in their factory in Connecticut.
The City Grill is Kenyon’s smallest and you actually have to buy it directly from them. Many of their products are built specifically for marine applications so this is a grill that retain its appearance and continue to perform for a long time.
This model has 155 square inches of cooking space which is comparable to small portable grills. It weighs in at 24 pounds and has two handles for easy carry. The heat output from 1,300 watt electric element produces temperatures around 500 degrees F/260 degrees C.
This grill is also designed for pretty specific use. There is a disposable drip tray in the bottom and to keep this grill from producing smoke that pan needs to be filled with liquid. There are specific methods for cleaning and maintaining this grill and considering the price I strongly recommend that the owner follow these to the letter. If you do so, I am confident that this grill will last for a very long time.
One last note. Generally speaking marine grade stainless steel is 316 grade. This grill is billed as built from marine grade, but is actually 304 stainless. This isn’t really an issue and it should be able to take the elements, but close proximity to salt water is a rough environment and I won’t make any promises about it being able to take the punishment, though I trust this company with making marine grade products.

Sometimes you just can’t have a full sized gas or charcoal grill. That’s when you have to rely on an outdoor electric grill. Good news everyone! Electric grills have been getting better and better in recent years and while they may not have the flavor of charcoal, they can do a pretty good job grilling a steak.

I live in an environment that is harsh on grills. The salty air and frequent storms beat up even the best propane grills. I decided it was time for a change… I wanted a grill that was a high quality stainless steel and portable enough that I could take it indoors during a storm. Frankly, I got tired of spending several hundreds of dollars every two years on a new grill. Initially, I was not looking for an electric grill because I never heard anything good about how they cook. After a lot of research into all types of grills, I decided on the Kenyon because of the quality of their grill construction and stainless steel, their ability to be used indoors or outdoors, no smoke while cooking (big plus), and the many positive reviews on various websites. I must admit, after it arrived, it took a while for me to accept this grill… it is so small and compared to my propane grill seemed inferior. Then I cooked with it and was amazed! I first cooked some chicken breasts, they came out wonderful… the Kenyon cooked very evenly and left perfect sear marks on each breast; they came out tender and juicy. Next, was a 2.20 lbs Ribeye (roast) steak. With my propane grill, I could cook them to a perfect medium rare, nicely seared on the outside, and tender and juicy. Surprisingly, the Kenyon cooked the steak better, more evenly with better sear marks, and very juicy. Also, no flare-ups or smoke. The surface temperature on the Kenyon grill is so even, it is very easy to precisely cook meat how you like it. However, with the steak, there is a slight difference in flavor (not one better than the other) with the Kenyon versus a propane or charcoal grill. My last cooking experience was with extra thick pork chops with a homemade dry rub. Normally, I brine any pork before cooking it, but this time I did not have the time to, so only a dry rub and straight to the grill. My Kenyon-cooked pork chops came out better than on my propane grill. Because of how even the grill surface temperature is, I was able to cook the pork chops to a perfect medium, medium rare, lots of juice and a wonderful flavor. Whenever I cook, I always use a high quality thermometer to check the meat, but the Kenyon makes it easier to predict when what I am cooking will be done the way I like it. I am convinced, this is one of the best grills I have ever owned… excellent!!!
I am pleased to say that after installing my grill, it exceeds my expectations. One of the best purchases I’ve made for the boat thus far. It really makes my 50′ Hatteras “Sport Fisherman” look that much more professional. Thank you for building such a marvelous product.
