Shaftsbury

Two Unique Views of Vermonters Living off the Land

Shaftsbury Alpacas

Growing up in Shaftsbury

Johan and Sandra Harder raise Alpacas on State Line Road in Shaftsbury.  They describe how they went from living in Brooklyn to raising Alpacas in Southern Vermont.  Their story is a prime example of the direction farming is going in Vermont.

Junior Harwood lived his entire life on Cleveland Avenue.  He describes how it was to live when the town of Shaftsbury was mostly pasture and when what you ate for dinner was what you could catch that day.
