In February, VermontBiz brings you history in a bottle - in this case, a bottle of uniquely crafted custom brandy that entrepreneur Raj Bhakta of Bhakta Spirits hopes will be the foundation of his endeavor to convert Poultney’s Green Mountain College Campus into Vermont’s premier resort destination.

We also spotlight other diverse Vermont entrepreneurs: Many are high on lighting up Vermont’s untapped recreational marijuana industry - but are finding it challenging to legalize commerce that remains illegal under federal law.

And read about how Brattleboro startup Grid Fruit is helping grocers reduce Greenhouse gas emissions.

VermontBiz’s Economic Report focuses on Lamoille county - what is causing the epic traffic jams in Stowe? And how can this thriving economy continue to grow in the face of a serious housing shortage?

All this and more is in the February Issue of VermontBiz, now Celebrating 50 Years of Serious Business, serious news!
