DUBLIN, New Hampshire (August 22, 2007) --Yankee Magazine's September/October issue features more than 100 ways to enjoy autumn in New England. Foliage takes top billing this fall, and Yankee offers the best ways to enjoy the landscape. Yankee also examines the benefits of eating local and fresh, a movement that's gaining momentum across New England. The current issue is available where magazines are sold on August 28, 2007, and costs $3.99.

"Our job at Yankee is to remind our readers that fall is much more than a chance to capture peak color," said Editor Mel Allen. "The magic of a New England fall lies in the shadings -- all the colors in between the exuberant scarlets and crimsons."

Foliage Drives in Vermont (p. 36): Yankee travels to Lamoille County, Vermont, to explore the spectacular foliage you can view on two back-road drives. Additional foliage podcast driving tours are available at YankeeFoliage.com.
15 Bests for Fall Foliage (p. 94):Yankee offers 15 bests -- fall-themed things to do, places to go, and thoughts to ponder, covering biking, paddling, nibbling, and more.
Get Lost in a Corn Maze on a Family Day-Trip (p. 48): Getting out of Davis' Mega Maze in Sterling, Massachusetts, can take anywhere from 23 minutes to six hours and offers a great time for fun family bonding. More New England mazes will be listed in 10 Things to Do on the Web @ YankeeMagazine.com.

Can a Diner Change How America Eats? (p. 114): The menu at the Farmers Diner in Quechee, Vermont, uses affordable locally grown and made products based on the local-food movement now burgeoning across New England.
Eat Your Vegetables (p. 76): Celebrate the bounty of the season with fresh-picked local vegetables in delicious and inventive recipes, such as Latin-Styled Grilled Corn, Curried Butternut Squash, Zucchine Secche, and many more.
A Baker Whose Food Mantra Is Local, Seasonal, Organic (p. 86): Edie Clark introduces readers to Cheryl Wixson of Bangor, Maine, who shares her recipes for Oatmeal Bread and Black Olive and Garlic French Bread. Wixson says, "It's only good when it's grown in season, near where you live."
