REAL. LIFE.  

Hands-On Vermont — real, tangible experiences to get you out of your chair and away from the computer. Forget virtual reality. We create customized opportunities and retreats to explore passions or try a new skill.

Vermont is more than a place. It’s a state of mind. Mother Nature made it beautiful, the people make it special. Here in Brandon, making connections is what we do best. We know and support our small independent artisans, local business owners and professionals. Escape to Vermont and find yourself.

Brandon and the Green Mountains
The Green Mountains holds a special place for the blues. Vermont’s music scene is ripping with players from all around the country. With its natural beauty, open spaces and an ethos of freedom and creativity, Vermont is also home to a vibrant art scene, a farm to table culture and the best craft beer in the world.

The Vermont Blues Retreat will take place in Brandon, the village deemed the “art and soul of Vermont”. A vibrant and authentic small Vermont town, Brandon is nestled in the foothills of the Green Mountain National Forest. Close to lakes, hiking and mountain trails, the town has excellent restaurants, nationally ranked breweries and historic architecture, along with unique shopping experiences and the neighborly charm one expects to find in Vermont.
