Christopher FeinsteinHOST
When your stockings run, let them run to Labrador.
Christopher FeinsteinHOST
So Grenfell needed places to sell these things, and through a fairly tangled set of connections, his American wife, a Vermont retirement home, a Middlebury College president who took a shine to the mission, Grenfell and his lady wife, Ann, opened a string of tea houses, one of them in a two-and-a-half-century building on Dog Team Road outside of Middlebury, Vermont, and was called the Dog Team Tavern, named after the sled dogs.
Christopher FeinsteinHOST
You'd stop in for tea, browse a little showroom of Labrador handcrafts, and maybe buy a hooked mat.
Christopher FeinsteinHOST
And the proceeds went straight back to the mission.
Christopher FeinsteinHOST
One said Vermont Democrats, and the other one said Vermont Republicans.
Christopher FeinsteinHOST

Middlebury College Parents Weekend basically wasn't complete without a stop here, and local lore, and please take this with a grain of salt because it mostly comes from the restaurant's own promotional history, they claim that Eleanor Roosevelt ate here, and Robert Frost, and at some point, allegedly, Neil Diamond.
