Far Out: Life on & After the Commune

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, tracing fifty years in the lives of this group of New England writers, activists and artists. It conveys not only how these "hippies" transformed Vermont and western Massachusetts, but also how rural life and the people they met changed them.
