Quechee has become home to urban and suburban ex-patriates, who with their well-developed city taste, have provided a market for good food, art, and music. You can find gourmet coffees, fine wines, imported cheeses, well-crafted bread, and confections that are widely available in quaint general stores and shops. You'll find some of the finest restaurants in Vermont throughout this area.
If you drive 10 minutes from Quechee, you'll find general stores where you may get a bit of local legend to go with your purchase, dairy farms that likely supplied the milk for the cheese you ate today, and a host of other cottage industries. A great fetisval to check out is Quechee's annual Balloon Festival and Crafts Fair, which draws thousands every year.
