If you are near VINS they also take them (or at least used to) to feed their birds of prey.

we give them to a friend who makes them into soup

Not normally, they can get cleared to though

As long as you aren't cocky or combative, you should be fine. Tell them what you want to do and ask if that would allowed.

Outbuildings are easy there aren’t really limits for barns and sheds, it hinges on whether they are considered “dwellings” which can be pretty vague and varies by town. If it has a bathroom and a kitchen it’s probably a dwelling. Some towns have provisions for seasonal dwellings etc.

Northern Lights, they are known to grumble when they have to travel this far south.

So even if the other buildings would be considered "outbuildings" without their own addresses, that would be hard to pull off?

I was up dealing with my vomitting toddler. It was thunder.

I’m a Vermonter, landowner and zoning board member. I’d say your vision would be challenging to execute in vt because zoning generally limits the number of dwellings that can exist on a property without subdividing. It’s easy to have a primary dwelling and an accessory dwelling or a duplex, but beyond that it gets sticky unless you’re going to incorporate as a nonprofit. Beyond 2 dwellings you basically are treated as a developer rather than a homeowner. You can of course own multiple plots of land but that gets expensive tax wise since most of your property tax will be based on the 2 acre homestead site. I’ve seen this as a challenge for people trying to build intentional communities. Zoning varies by town so if you’ve got your eye on a parcel you’ll really want to get to know the local ordinance and the development review process in the town and consult with a knowledgeable land use attorney first. It’s a shame in my opinion since multigenerational homes/compounds were pretty much the standard for most of our history here.

Ugh. A big thumbs down to that if so! They already ostensibly check my card at the door - which they never really look at so I could be flashing them my library card from 25 years ago for all they know. 🧐

The easiest way to kill them is with a “cone of death” - hang them upside down and place into a metal cone attached to a board, so their head hangs out. Get a firm grip on their head, and use a sharp knife to cut all the way through the neck. Not pleasant but a necessary part of being a chicken owner is knowing how to humanely dispatch your birds when needed.

I heard somewhere it's to make the customer "feel special" or something to that effect. That does seem to fit with their membership model, gives a feeling of exclusivity.

The only additional thing I'd mention here if the end goal is ASAP license to be sure to schedule the road test as soon as your permit is approved. It can be 3-4 weeks out to get a road test scheduled depending on which DMV you use. If I were scheduling for South Burlington right now the soonest is April 18th. It varies a bit and while awhile it was a LONG wait...seems a little less awful right now.

There can be some skiing in stick season, but mostly for the diehards. It usually involves riding a lift back down to the base after doing laps on man-made snow on some upper mountain lift.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

I'm pretty sure it wasn't thunder. Less rumbling. It was a quick loud boom with a long trail off. Like 30 seconds. It really sounded like two jets going over

Walmart Williston is getting very serious. They put men's underwear under lock and key - the glass cases with a lock like they do for electronics.

Maine was made for precisely this. I grew up on a piece of land that contained 8 homes, a central meeting hall and central dining hall, and I was raised in a multigenerational 'commune,' four generations at one time. Family compounds seem very commonplace there.

While you might get some helpful insight here, your best source of information is going to be your lawyer (or preferably practicing lawyers in both states). Building and zoning regulations can vary a lot even between towns within the same state and getting a lawyer who is familiar with those regulations will help you narrow in on a location that fits what you need.

The most you can really get from Reddit will be a general idea of "X state has less regulations than Y". That might be helpful for you, but certainly should be taken with a grain of salt and backed up with more reliable information sources.

Sugar shacks are apparently wicked dangerous. I’ve got a client whose son died in a tragic maple sugaring accident. (Sorry for the verbiage, couldn’t miss a Zoolander reference) I didn’t realize how dangerous they were though!!!

Yep... by OP logic all of winter would be stick season!

Ahh, sorry. That seems uncalled for.

💯. I remember this even back in the early 80 in Phoenix Az when Costco was Price Club.
