Yankee editor Mel Allen calls foliage season “New England’s Mardi Gras.” In our Fall Color episode of Weekends with Yankee, we’ll take you to Vermont, where we visit with a successful and pioneering New England cheesemaker, as she takes us behind the scenes of her working goat farm. In New Hampshire, you can come along as we travel a famed highway, enjoying one of our region’s most scenic drives and seeking out the most vivid autumn colors imaginable. This episode wraps things up with a look at a Connecticut town which Yankee Magazine has named the best fall foliage town in New England, where we take you to the treetops for a birds-eye view of the foliage. Your weekend doesn’t stop there, though. In the Fall Foliage episode of Weekends with Yankee, you get a fall color tutorial (and learn a few photography tricks) from our resident foliage expert Jim Salge. Back in Vermont, we’ll take you to a famed creamery that helped put New England cheeses in the national spotlight. And Yankee Magazine editor Mel Allen shares some of his favorite out-of-the-way vistas along one of America’s top-rated scenic drives. From Yankee headquarters, Amy Traverso shares her recipe for a Vermont-inspired beet salad with crispy goat cheese. It’s a “fall-foliage scene right in your bowl” that looks almost too good to eat!
