 We'll listen together to an episode of Brave Little State about this question. What were Vermont's poor farms like? And could parts of the poor farm model of local aid be adapted for the needs of today? We'll learn what life was like on these farms. The town farm was all about the work ethic. And hear about the sort of people who lived on them. Plus, we'll look at whether parts of this model could be adapted for today. That's all coming up on Vermont Edition.
