Great answer.

1. Volunteer in your town but don’t suggest change. Be there to help carry the weight, not to fix the town, not to be a critic.

2. Don’t be offended by the occasional neighbor who isn’t interested in friendship (but will help you out anytime)

3. Expect to get roasted here (Vermonters see work-from-home out-of-staters moving in as a big part of why there is a lack of housing (even though our population hasn’t changed much and it’s more about the popularity of AirBnB homes).

4. Don’t be put off by unfriendly redditors in this sub, Vermont is a friendly place.

Water Treatment tabs would be an easy and lightweight upgrade. Thanks for the feedback.

I fucking love Vermont.

Well, it is Woodstock and that’s kinda like a suburb of Boston anyway.

My bad. We buy the pizza dough balls that are in most grocery stores. Often times the only dough in the store is still partially frozen.

You are correct on the prebaked crusts. But those are barely better than little Cesar

Yes, by assuming they can or should be able to live decently off working at a redemption center. Who'd have thought?

We are an upstart company and have supply chain and manufacturing ready to roll.

If anything, I trust the chains a bit more as far as food safety is concerned. They have deeper pockets and are very interested in not getting their pants sued off.

No. We need one as much as we need another McDonald’s

Your points makes sense. Unfortunately, my boys aren’t in healthcare or I’d encourage them to tag along for the reasons you mentioned.

Expensive and almost non-existent.

Thanks, will do!

Sure but there needs to be cheaper options available. Im being priced out of eating. And I make almost every single meal I eat.

By working full time you are paying taxes here. That’s contributing. Join the co-op but your food there (probably better and cheaper anyway). Volunteer there/library/at local ski hill if you want.

It’s an awesome place. Just think about how close you need to be to an airport or city before picking a place to settle.

I am of half a mind that any empty nester that comes to Vermont has to bring at least one adult child with them who has been trained in a healthcare profession (RN, RRT, MD, NP, PA, PsyD, LCSW, whatever). We have an aging population, and we are careening toward an apocalyptic hellscape of an overburdened medical system within the next decade as the baby boomers leave the workforce and become huge users of the system. This is not unique to Vermont per se, but we do have one of the oldest populations and we will be impacted accordingly.

Okay, so I imagine you have outsourced labor then?

Contains SUGAR, artificial flavors and artificial coloring. Distributed by a co in Louisiana. Shame on Woodstock Scoops for tricking tourists (who probably don’t read the ingredients)

I did. What does being slightly more populated as the second least populated state in the whole country have to do with billboards?

It's not fine the way it is. Preservation is being confused with doing nothing and it's not working

Edit: also I actually live in this state!

You could report if you feel so inclined. There's case law in Vermont that companies have to have real maple syrup in the product if they're going to advertise it as such.
