This partnership marks an exciting evolution for Discovery Map® Burlington. By integrating Localvore’s digital platform with Discovery Map’s classic hand-drawn paper maps, travelers will now have even greater access to exclusive deals, discounts, and locally sourced food experiences. This collaboration bridges tradition with technology, offering a comprehensive way to explore and support local economies.

“We are thrilled to combine the charm and reliability of our iconic printed maps with the tools and values of Localvore®,” said Jas Darland, new co-owner of the Burlington app along with Peter Hans of Discovery Map® and Michael Nedell of Localvore®. “This partnership creates new opportunities for businesses to connect with customers and for travelers to enjoy authentic, local experiences in the greater Burlington area.”

Together, they create a seamless blend of tools to promote the "Buy Local" and Farm-to-Table movements, helping to build stronger, more sustainable communities.
