McKibben Writes Hardwick

If you haven't had a chance to pick up the latest issue of Yankee Magazine, the July/August edition is available online with Bill McKibben's article about Hardwick. Bill paints a vivid portrait of what's been brewing, starting with "livestock mortality composting" and moving on up the food chain. In just a few pages, you get not only a picture of one Vermont town and the dynamics in and on the ground, but also from the article a sense of what it takes to make this system work, and how unique it is among the many and varied efforts to restore a sense of community to our food ways.

Of course, you should as well stop and appreciate Tim Zeltner's illustration for the story (above) at Vermont Yankee.
