Friend, it's just ice cream, not a metaphysical dilemma. Enjoy it for what it is, and have a great day.

This person is so wrong about food and restaurants. Burlington is the only place you’ll really find big chains. I live in the boonies and every town of a few thousand people has a couple of really awesome local restaurants. I was surprised at how great the food is. I haven’t had fast food in years now because there just isn’t any out here. But I eat great local food all the time.

So my child is home grown? Lol looking at the definition i posted i am thinking it is the second one, about being local.

If they have it in a nearby store I'll check it out, thanks.

Homemade yes definitely, and it is good stuff i am not trying to diss them, they are the best around. Nothing is growing though so it wouldn't be homegrown right?
Edit: i looked up the definition.
home·grown
/ˌhōmˈɡrōn/
adjective
grown or produced in one's own garden or country.
"a basket of homegrown fruit"
belonging to one's own particular locality or country
So technically the second one would be accurate but i still think the sign should say homemade not homegrown

Oh, Walpole Creamery. That stuff is good.
If they raise their own dairy cows, and use their milk to make ice cream they can claim homegrown.

Good point, I knew it had some Dutch origins so I had to look it up:
Unilever was founded on 2 September 1929, by the merger of the British soapmaker Lever Brothers and the Dutch margarine producer Margarine Unie
I think the OTC stock is the one traded on the Dutch exchange which is why I thought it was Dutch.

Fair enough. I don’t actually know if I’ve ever seen that sign so I guess I could be wrong.

I just did the price check at Ben and Jerry's for online ordering in Bozeman MT and Burlington VT. It's a ten cent difference at most, and the same price at most stores.

Right, and Unilever is a French corporation so having a European manufacturing location would not be unusual at all for a French business.

It’s really good but so pricy for that tiny portion. $6 for a Dixie cup.

What about starting in the middle (Morrisville) and doing an out and back from there each day?

They should technically fail you, regardless of transmission type. Its actually more critical on an automatic. That little pin/pawl in your transmission is not designed to hold your car on a grade.

They only ship the cow because it gives more milk per milking thanks to the conversion into the metric system. They avoid re-conversion loss on the way back to the States because the milk is frozen.

Oh gosh, they are SO GOOD. They had a truck at a work event I attended last summer, and I still daydream about the super chocolate flavor, whatever that was called.
And they're entirely nut-free, so my coworker with allergies who never gets to eat at company shindigs got to have some!

You can’t entirely place blame on people who are doing this unless you completely ignore the conditions that allow it. Shame on us for not getting regulations together sooner. And this is in no way a substitution for more housing, and will have little impact on the housing market even if those renters decide to get out of the rental game and sell.

You should try Wilcox instead. That's made right in Arlington at their own factory.

VTGOP is not telling me to do anything Rama. I vote based on whats good for my family and community. That was though a lot of words to avoid accepting responsibility for your own comments though. Maybe you do have a future in politics:)
