In 1968, a group of political radicals left New York City for the country and became organic farmers, founding two communes—at Packer Corners in Guilford, VT, and Montague, MA. This is the story of how the commune became a community.
Far Out: Life On & After the Commune documents communal life in the ‘70s and traces fifty years in the lives of this group of New England writers, activists, and artists. It conveys how these “hippies” transformed Vermont and western Massachusetts and how rural life and the people they met changed them.
