September 11, 2012 Mazza’s Farm, Vermont

We are staying at another Harvest Host site.  Sam Mazza’s Farmers market. We are parked between the corn maze and the apple orchard. We are encouraged the purchase from our hosts, since we park for free, so we bought a bunch of farm fresh vege’s, which we needed anyway.

On our way here we stopped at the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory and revisited the Shelburne Museum, since we did not see it all yesterday.

Sean at the bear hospital. They guarantee their bears for the life of the bear. If it comes apart from either your or theirs you just send it in and they fix it. Here the bear has a honey IV! Back at the Shelburne museum here is a light house that used to sit on the middle of Lake Champlain.

Some Champ sightings. Champ is the monster in the lake. There have been over 300 sightings of him. A barn with a tool display.

There was a special exhibit of man quilts-quilts made by men, of course you can tell a man made this one. John at the Farmers market. We are encouraged to buy things where we stay, so here is John with two bags of farm fresh veg's.

Apples out the window and the corn maze. I have always been leery of corn since I read that short story by Stephen King, Children of the Corn.
