Alan Beard sold us the back chunk of his land in 2021, and it happened just as you’d imagine a land purchase of Vermont’s yesteryear would; there were handshakes, conversational negotiation and no banks involved. Bless his heart.

Alan and his brother, Bruce, took a chance on our non-native family by granting us access to Johnson land, which was beginning to feel more and more inaccessible as the years went on. The moment we became neighbors was the same moment we became kin.
