NOFA-VT members, we invite you to join us on May 1st, International Workers’ Day, to stand in solidarity with local farmworkers at an all-day picket outside Hannaford in Williston. Help keep the line strong with your presence, energy, and community spirit! Your participation supports the campaign to get Hannaford to join the Milk With Dignity program, which would improve working conditions on farms in their store-brand dairy supply chain through higher pay prices from Hannaford and enforced standards.
John Deere 9' Sickle Mower with pin hitch
I used it once, but not quite what I'm after.
It works well. I installed a ram for it off of a different mower. All greased up. Sickle sections are good, but not new. Tires hold air. Grass board is intact.

I have a charming, well-reviewed tiny house on wheels that's been a successful Airbnb for a few years, and I'm looking for a new home base in Vermont. Chittenden, Franklin, or Lamoille County preferred, but open to a wider radius.
A quiet spot on a farm or rural property would be ideal. If you have power and water, you could be collecting flat monthly land rent with zero effort on your end — I handle 100% of the hosting: guests, cleaning, pricing, and communications.
If the right small parcel came up for purchase, I'd be open to that conversation too. A co-hosting revenue share arrangement is also on the table if that's more interesting.
Happy to share photos and details. Feel free to reach out privately!
