'''''Vermont Life''''' was a quarterly regional magazine focusing on the Vermont lifestyle. It was published by the State of Vermont and was read by Vermont residents and those who live outside the state. The headquarters was in Montpelier. It was known for its scenic photography and articles about Vermont's food/agriculture, arts, outdoor recreation and entrepreneurs. In addition to the quarterly print publication, ''Vermont Life'' published two websites, produced a digital version of the magazine, a line of printed calendars, note-cards, and worked with other State of Vermont agencies and organizations on branding Vermont.
