Vergennes Grows with New Cafe and Cider | Montpelier News

Vergennes, Vermont’s oldest city, is buzzing with new energy as two local gems—Big Heart Social and Shacksbury Cider—expand to serve the community. Big Heart Social, a queer-forward cafe and bar opening soon, doubles as a cozy coworking space hosting game nights, movie marathons, and casual hangouts. Meanwhile, Shacksbury Cider, founded in 2013, is moving into a massive new facility that will boost production tenfold, complete with bigger tanks, more canning options, and a new nonalcoholic cocktail line called Mountain Tonic. Together, they’re turning Vergennes into a vibrant hub of local flavor and connection. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
