Jane Lindholm talks with two communal farm alumni, author
Tom Fels and poet and teacher Verandah Porche, about the longterm legacy of Vermont’s counterculture
communes.

the 1960s and early seventies, thousands of disaffected young people migrated
to rural Vermont and neighboring areas to live together on communal farms. We look at how the counterculture communes shaped, and were
shaped by Vermont.
