Poetry Competition in Barre VT Huge Success

By John Biondolillo and Chrissy George, BCK Real Estate

A recent poetry competition held in Barre VT was a huge success. Held at the Barre Opera House last Wednesday, March 13th, high school students from all over Vermont took part in the “Poetry Out Loud” contest. The winner won $200 and an all-expense paid trip to Washington to represent Vermont at the national finals.

This year was the 8th year for the “Poetry Out Loud” contest which continues to grow in popularity. Created from a collaborative effort by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation, the idea behind the contest is to emphasize poetry as an oral art. Here in Central Vermont and across the state the competition has created an interest in classic poetry and inspired the often lost art of recitation.

Students in Barre last Wednesday represented 38 high schools in Vermont, with the winner coming from St. Johnsbury Academy. The event was well attended and inspiring. This is a wonderful example of how Vermont High Schools nurture both creativity and a passion for the classics.

Many owners of Central Vermont homes realize from experience that now is a great time to plan a garden. Whether you have a green thumb or want to see if you do planning now can have you ready to plant come spring. Flower gardens and vegetable gardens alike can benefit tremendously from a little forethought.

The first thing to consider is what type of garden you would like to plant on your Central Vermont property. Are you looking to plant flower beds or vegetables, or perhaps both? Growing vegetables to enjoy this summer and into the fall is fabulous, allowing you the opportunity to grow those edibles that you and your family love as well as a chance to experiment with different varietals. Flower beds can provide you with fresh cut flowers to enjoy inside your home as well as beautiful landscaping accents on the outside of your home.

The internet is an extremely valuable tool when it comes to Central Vermont real estate, whether you are buying, selling, remodeling or moving. The available information allows for much more informed decisions and intricate planning and the same is true for gardening. Whether you want to choose colors, order seeds, discover what grows best in your area, learn planting schedules for different species or map out flower patterns you have access to a virtual encyclopedia of botany at the swipe of your finger.

Collaborative Efforts Help Cider Mill in Waterbury VT Go Solar

by John Biondolillo and Shari Aja, BCK Real Estate

Waterbury VT

BCK Real Estate, Central VT real estate & community information

Collaborative efforts have helped a cider mill in Waterbury VT go solar. The Cold Hollow Cider Mill is a cornerstone of central Vermont, open 7 days a week for visitors to watch the process of pressing apples to make cider, a process which hasn’t changed over the past 90 plus years as the mill still uses the same rack and cloth press which was built in the 1920s. The mill is now home to something equally as inventive and built in 2012, a field of solar panels.

While the owner of the mill had been hoping to use solar energy to make the operation more environmentally friendly and cost-effective, solar energy is not exactly cheap. The 25 solar panels at the Waterbury mill were installed by a Williston company, All Earth Renewables, but paid for by Green Lantern Development. Green Lantern Development provided the opportunity to investors and the energy created will help recoup the investors cost. In 6 years the mill can purchase the solar panels at 50% of the installed cost.

Any way you look at it the solar panels are a win-win for all involved, offering the mill a 5% energy savings immediately and the opportunity to buy the panels and therefore the energy production at a fraction of the cost in a few years time. The investors will reap the reward of payback on their investment. In addition a company that specializes in solar energy in Williston VT was used in the process. The new solar panels at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill are a great example of collaborative efforts in Central Vermont.

Central Vermont

BCK Real Estate, Central Vermont real estate and community information

Central Vermont stores are slated to benefit after Black Friday. Shopping the day after Thanksgiving is a diehard tradition for many.

Small businesses are the backbone of any community and they certainly add to all of the towns throughout our Central Vermont area.

Northfield VT Hosts Farmers Market Indoors

Central VT

BCK Real Estate

By John Biondolillo and Chrissy George, BCK Real Estate

Northfield VT is now hosting a farmers market indoors. This past Sunday was the first ever indoor farmers market for this community of Central Vermont farmers and food purveyors who utilized an old armory to sell their fresh fare. The indoor market has been planned for one Sunday a month in Northfield Vermont but was such a huge success that it will likely occur on more than one Sunday a month now.

Both vendors and customers were thrilled with the market. Clearly cold weather and a change of seasons is not enough to deter a farmers market in Central Vermont. Fresh, locally grown food is important to members of the Central Vermont community and many of us are thrilled that we can continue to have easy access to delicious locally grown vegetables, cheeses, eggs, and more well into the winter.

Contact us today to learn more about living in Central Vermont. A healthy lifestyle here includes the food we serve to ourselves, our friends, and our families. We can help you realize your dreams of owning a Vermont vacation home or finding a permanent residence in our neck of the woods.

by John Biondolillo and Renee Dezotelle, BCK Real Estate

Central Vermont real estate

BCK Real Estate, Central Vermont real estate

Is your Central Vermont home ready for winter? While it is only mid October our time for getting projects complete is rapidly waning. So take advantage to prepare your home inside and out so winter doesn’t catch you off guard.

How can you prep your Central Vermont property for winter?

  • Disconnect all hoses and shut off your outdoor water if possible.
  • Blowout your sprinkler system, any water that remains in your pipes can freeze and burst.
  • Rake the leaves from your lawn.
  • Mow the grass one last time.
  • Clear out your gutters.

What can you do to prepare the inside of your Central Vermont home?

  • Check your heating system, often best done with a professional.
  • Check your window seals and other joints around your home for air leaks, a drafty home causes higher heating bills.
  • Have your chimney and your fireplace inspected.

These are but a few fall chores that can help ensure a smoother home experience this winter. Rumor has it that colder temperatures are coming. The more prepared we are the more enjoyable life will be when the snow flies in Central Vermont.

Future Of Barre Museum Up To Community

by John Biondolillo and Shari Aja, BCK Real Estate

Barre VT

BCK Real Estate, Central VT real estate & community information

The future of a Barre museum is up to the community. The Vermont Granite Museum and Stone Arts School is a cornerstone of our area and is facing a crossroads, as are many institutions across the nation, due to funding. The museum was started and never completed due to a lapse in funding, and while its buildings and premise are an instrumental part of the downtown core, the community’s desires on how to move forward will play a large role in its future.

This Thursday, October 11, from 7 to 9:15 pm, there will be a public forum held at the Vermont Granite Museum to uncover what the community’s interest is in seeing completion of the museum. This is a great opportunity for the Barre community to have its voice heard and help decide on both the area’s future and its preservation of the past.

The town of Barre VT has always been interested in shaping its future while remembering its past. The opportunity for residents to share opinions and have their voices heard is but one aspect of life in our Central Vermont town. Contact us at BCK Real Estate to learn more about living in Central Vermont and how you can become a part of our community.

Nutrition Important Component of Central VT Schools

BCK Real Estate, Central Vermont real estate & community information

Nutrition is recognized as an important component of Central VT schools. Barre VT was recently the headquarters for school cooks from across the states who gathered to talk about nutrition, new recipes and, more importantly, how to get kids to eat healthy food with grains and lentils as opposed to french fries and gummy worms. Healthy foods feed healthy minds and that is the mission of school cooks throughout Central Vermont and the entire state.

There are new federal laws being enforced across the nation with regards to food that is available in our schools. The laws involve restricting sodium, reducing calories, require more fruits and vegetables, and so on. Students in Barre Vermont will be eating healthier this year, following a trend that is focused on eliminating childhood obesity.

Schools are closely tied to real estate values and Central Vermont communities that are located in quality school districts are no exception. Contact us today to have access to all Central Vermont homes that are currently listed for sale and let us help you get to know the schools in the area to which you would like to move.
