Communes in Vermont shape its culture

This article appeared in a collection of small papers in Vermont (http://www.rutlandherald.com, http://www.timesargus.com). They mostly talk about 60s communes but they acknowledge that a lot of intentional communities still make Vermont their home. Quotes from Wavy Gravy and Diana Christian.

Here’s a good quote on how communes affected Vermont:

But while nearly all the original Vermont communes and communards have vanished, their legacy remains in the state’s green movement, farmers markets, food co-ops and alternative-energy pioneers. Arguably, much of Vermont’s current character stems from its commune days.
