Organic and healthy growing trends like protein bars and fresh-squeezed juice while the old-fashioned — locally-made cheeses and fresh-caught seafood — made a big presence at the show, attended by hundreds of guests and about 80 vendors from across Vermont and New England. Then, there was the rare, like farm-raised red deer venison from Hollander Farm in Holland and gluten-free, certified-humane pudding varieties from Echo Farm in Hinsdale, N.H. and sweet yet smooth quince butter from Sidehill Farm in Brattleboro. http://www.vermonttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/RH/20120501/FEATURES05/705019981&template=morephotos# Bill Thompson, owner of Cavendish Game Birds of Vermont, stands by his display, farm-raised quail and quail tastings.
