Really? You can't think of why someone might not equate adopting a human being to adopting a dog?

Yes!

Eww

Knotweed is choking the creek front stretches on our land and making it inaccessible... I would be delighted to have it removed and set on fire.

LOL

Same people who hate Airbnb want act 250 to make it impossible to build anything commercial and also hate high paid remote workers who live here. Everyone can't be a maple syrup maker

My cocaine?

Is it third most expensive compared to average income or in actual dollars? To me it seems there's plenty of states where stuff is more expensive, but there's also way higher paid jobs there

Hatchland farms in Haverhill NH is so good!

You're gonna hear it from the "adopt, don't shop" crowd. My response is always to ask if they had their own children. When they answer yes, I ask why it's more important to adopt animals than people. Have yet to hear a logical answer. Best is "I can't make a dog." Well, have you tried?

Real neighborly behavior, huh?

Most consumer packaged foods and beverages operate this way. The level of concentration of manufacturing and packaging is depending on the product ingredients and market demand.

Soda is easier to ship at the syrup stage. Make a big concentrated sticky goo and send it to bottlers located in a strong market who dilute it down into consumer products and package for final distribution which tends to be local. So you end up with a few HQ syrup makers and a bunch of bottlers

Ice cream typically doesn’t work this way because dairy isn’t stable over long times and requires refrigeration at a certain point. So a company like B&Js works to convert that milk quickly into dairy products that are more stable, like ice cream. But that requires a closer manufacturer and packaging network.

So you don’t typically see “local” ice cream brands with non-local packaging but B&Js is a global product hence the additional locations. The product just ended back up in VT because global trade is super complex and it genuinely may have been cheaper to produce that pint in the Netherlands and ship it to the US than to produce it in the US.

I wanna say either California, Connecticut or Rhode Island

Because they sold out many years ago?

Wilcox dairy free maple is downright disgusting!

I haven't done my own comparison yet, but I've heard from a couple different sites that fight Knotweed that it can help suppress it.

I think it’s just 3 places. Vermont (x2), Netherlands, and Israel.

And lots and lots of pollution

Can you tell me more about the Lyme disease management? How does that work?

I am not at all high and I had the same question. Since no one actually answered I looked it up. It can make financial sense because it is shipped in such volume. The actual shipping is in cargo containers that have freezer or refrigeration equipment, and can keep products frozen or cold on ships, trains, and trucks. The single carton of ice cream from Europe bought near the US factory could possibly be explained by supply chain stuff or how they have decided to split flavors for more efficient manufacturing. It might be more efficient in the long run to manufacture 10 flavors in this plant and 5 flavors in that plant and ship them where they need to go rather than all 15 flavors in each plant.

It’s the logic of your own argument, one cannot afford something therefore… Do you believe abstinence works? People have children, most people who care would rather find solutions for inevitabilities, rather than denying their existence or someones rights.

Unfortunately they suppress a lot of the undergrowth and really contribute to erosion.

Ramalamadingdong.

Wait, can squash compete with/suppress regrowth of knotweed? Asking for my entire yard.
