What makes a farm a farm?  That’s a question the state’s Environmental Court will have to sort out as it considers WhistlePig whiskey, a company that wants to make whiskey from rye that it grows itself.  Act 250 officials ruled in February that the Shoreham-based company is not a farm, and is therefore subject to state oversight.

A Vermont House committee is going to take testimony from the public about the use of stun guns.
