Micro-businesses often use FPF to fuel their launch
“A couple of months ago we were looking to lease an acre of land to start a market garden and thanks to Front Porch Forum, we found a perfect location in Montpelier. We want to thank Geoff and Kim for trusting us to till up their lawn and giving us the opportunity to start our business on their land. We have come a long way since we started, and are very excited to announce that we are offering delivery of organic produce to the Montpelier area.”

How do Vermonters find trusted Realtors?
“We are hoping to find a realtor that comes highly recommended and trusted to come to our home for advice on possibly selling it in the future. Wondering what should be done to help sell it and get information on comparable priced homes in the area”.

“I have never had so many passionate responses – so quickly from Front Porch Forum. Thanks!”

Seeking hard-to-find item? Try buying used from neighbors
“Hi all. I want 4 shepard’s hook style pole for hanging plants, etc. I need them to be at least 48″ tall, taller would be fine. Before I buy new, thought I’d see if anyone has some they’d like to sell.”
• Doreen, Berlin FPF
“Just like that! I am no longing seeking hooks. A neighbor had some that were far more elaborate than I could have wished for and at an extremely reasonable price. Thanks Brian, and thanks Front Porch Forum for connecting us all!”
