Im working on a series of these and I have the surely bearded man proudly holding a jar of microbrew. based on Avery, the co founder of Hermit Thrush. It's terrifying how accurate it is.

Stupid reason to move your entire life but sure. Especially when we probably paid him to love here and continue working remotely for an out of state company

A job like that's going to pay $5k in income taxes in a few months.

He embraced the way of life here but he's still got some city boy in him. You can see it in his eyes. Those look like designer frame glasses.

Designer frames, Carhart coveralls he dry-cleans. If he's a Vermonter, he's never strayed outside of Chittenden county unless it was to hit up one of the farmers markets.

Kumquats are so expensive here. Really any citrus. I have a guy who sends me citrus from Florida. (My mom. The guy is my mom.) A transplant from New Jersey definitely has the money for kumquats

Cumquats don't get to the level of hubris, you need the ultra fancy pomelo to get to hubris level . If you're getting citrus, let's make it expensive.

Dude the first person this reminded me of is a dude I used tow work with who looks like a 5th generation VT farmer complete with flannel, tweed, livestock, and a sugaring/biochar/tree farm & who bleeds actual dirt.

Turns out he's actually from Connecticut. Been here less than 5 years and bought the farm w family money.

…..and bought the farm with family money.

Just hope he doesn’t keep it alive with family money too while claiming every other farmer just isn’t doin it right
