Publisher’s Note

It’s mud season! Must be time to break out your muck boots and broaden your horizons with new outdoor skills and knowledge! Courses and classes are being offered at Mahoosuc Land Trust, Moose Ridge Wilderness School and the Mahoosuc Guide Service.

Also in this edition we profile a bunch of Bethel area’s young entrepreneurs, and explore what Bethel Area Arts + Music will have on offer for fun and educational programming this spring and summer. Use our listing of Bethel area’s local farms, CSAs and buying clubs to fill your larder. Then bake Anna Sysko’s Gemini Café Savory Scones in your OWN kitchen!

As always, I am thankful to my support team. My production team is wonderful, as are my advertisers and readers – you make knocking together this magazine a joy, not a task.
