Reply to Urgent Request: need photo of the most “vermont” car there is. Like a 2000s subaru / volvo plastered with long trail stickers type thing. I need a photo! by [deleted]
I know where this car is, just need to get you a pic. In Johnson, there is a car (make, model, year all N/A) COMPLETELY covered in stickers. It's actually amazing. I'll try to get a pic next trip through the town, or anyone in Johnson reading this must know the car, and they should feel free to post said photo. Last house on N side of Main Street (Rt 15) before the creek/stream/river passes under 15 just west of the food market/liquor store.

Especially on a country road with no oncoming traffic and good visibility (assuming a left turn in this case). Just put your blinker on, pull into the left lane and decelerate there, and let me go by.

I mean, you all don't want to hear it, but Vermonters suck at driving. This is one of the common behaviors I observe around here. Along with turning out in front of a car going full speed and accelerating so sloooowwwwllly that the other car has to brake significantly.

Checking in from New Jersey and this is absolutely the case down here. Been using the local farmstead down the road for years and they’ve always been $4 a dozen.
They are still $4 a dozen, but the grocery stores have definitely cleared that mark.

Love your state and enjoy reading your discussions - learning so much.
I'm in the Poconos here and we share a few things in common.

Also I’m not gonna lie I’ve got all my days combined with a five day old newborn, so forgive my completely moronic statements of “the roads weren’t that bad” and “they were bad here too” I’ll just blame the sleep deprivation and show myself out 😂😂

Yeah, I mean, they were bad here too but that’s besides the point. Unless someone hits you you’re always at fault in an accident. Cars are fucking dangerous and if you or your vehicle isn’t adequately prepared for the situation you should stay home. Just my two sense on it, and not saying I haven’t done my share of stupid shit I shouldn’t have done either.

I don’t eat meat or dairy unless I know the animals have been raised and treated humanely— pre-pandemic it was all about buying the full animal or going to really local businesses. Pandemic and post-pandemic, it’s been amazing to see how much more you can get. We, also, definitely have noticed how much more cost-effective is now. I recommend it to everyone.

I'm a chicken guy, so I've been following the fucking awful spread of avian influenza and the culling of millions of birds. This is one of the weird circumstances where the normal "economies of scale" reverse. The flu has hit large producers and small farmers alike, but with fewer birds, smaller firms have been more able to protect their birds from the flu and when they are infected and the birds have to be killed, a smaller flock is easier to build back up, so they're recovering faster.
Keep in mind that everything that is currently happening with chickens could absolutely happen with beef (it already did, during the pandemic), milk, corn, vegetables, wheat, nuts, or almost anything else. Large food producers can make things cheaper and cheaper but it always comes at a cost to resiliency. Smaller ag producers are the most resilient parts of any economy (any society, really) and while they may not always be cheap, they're what works when nothing else does.
Buying local isn't always cheap. But if there's one place where it really really matters, it's food. Local farms will only be there to support us when the big producers are falling apart if we support them the rest of the time.

Check out Bravecto, it's a 90 day chewable that's rx only. It doesn't stop ticks from getting on your dog but it kills them if they bite.

Right now my cost/dozen from my 24 chickens is about $3.75 if I put them in a free recycled carton. It’s over $5 if I have to use a new carton. If you’re getting eggs from a small farmer give them at least $6/dozen no matter what they’re asking.
Birds have gotten expensive, feed is expensive cartons are outrageous and bedding costs are high. If you value that product and want to continue to be able to get it make it worth their while to do it and sell to you.

I’m originally from essex/ my parents still live there. Animal control there is responsive and fairly active on Facebook. If you can’t get through to animal control the resident troopers have a non-emergency number too. Also Next Door is really active, my mom uses it a lot.
