As June winds down and summer officially settles into Vermont, we’re enjoying some of the longest days of sunlight we’ll see all year. Here in the Northeast Kingdom, that means more time to enjoy everything that makes this region special.
Early mornings start with fog lifting off the valleys, while evenings seem to stretch on forever as the sun slowly sets behind the Green Mountains. It’s a time of year when farmers are hard at work in the fields, local businesses are welcoming summer visitors, and families are spending more time outdoors.
The long daylight hours have always played an important role in Vermont life. Historically, summer was the season when communities worked together to prepare for the coming winter. Haying fields, maintaining roads, repairing barns, and tending gardens were all part of everyday life across the Northeast Kingdom.
Today, many of those traditions continue. Drive through towns like St. Johnsbury, Lyndon, Danville, Burke, and Peacham and you’ll see tractors in the fields, roadside farm stands opening for the season, and residents taking advantage of every extra minute of daylight.
Summer also brings a renewed sense of adventure. Whether it’s hiking local trails, fishing Vermont’s ponds and rivers, exploring covered bridges, or taking a scenic drive through the countryside, the Northeast Kingdom offers countless opportunities to enjoy the season.
As we move through the heart of summer, it’s a great reminder to slow down and appreciate what makes Vermont unique: strong communities, beautiful landscapes, and a pace of life that allows us to enjoy the simple things.
From all of us at St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we hope you’re finding time to enjoy these long summer days and everything the Northeast Kingdom has to offer.
After all, there are only a few weeks each year when Vermont shines quite like this.
