Many in Monkton respond with plumber recommendations
“Sending out a thank you to all in the community who responded to my request for a plumber recommendation. We have a wonderful resource here in Front Porch Forum. Thank you, everyone!”
• Kristen, Monkton FPF
Thousands of business recommendations flow through Front Porch Forum
“A few weeks ago I posted on our Front Porch Forum seeking recommendations for XC boots in our area, and several people wrote to say Onion River Sports was the place to go. So we went there and, sure enough, my sister found the perfect boots. The salesperson patiently helped her get fitted properly, and, after years of XC skiing, she says these are the best boots she’s ever had. Yay for Onion River Sports and FPF posters. Thanks again!”

Starting a farmers market? Organize with FPF
“I would like to start a Farmers Market catering to Belvidere and the surrounding area this summer. I am looking for volunteers to help. Those who volunteer would have a free space for the season. I am also, of course, looking for a space. So if you have a field or large parking lot that could be used, please contact me. I’m looking to start in June. If you can help, please contact me.”
• Jill, Cambridge Front Porch Forum
Many farmers markets have used FPF to get organized and launched in Vermont. How about one in your town?
“Special thank you to our ‘Forum Family'” from Morrisville retailer
“Can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the visits to my wife’s little gift-shop as she goes thru all the emotions of closing her place after 15 wonderful years. It’s been a rough time for her. All your visits, purchases and words of encouragement have helped more than you can ever know. Still 2 more days left. Friday and Saturday (behind the Village Victorian B&B on Union Street, Morrisville). Plenty of great gifts at incredible prices. Stop by. Say hi to ellen and wish her the best in her next great adventure. Thank you.”
• Philip, Morrisville Front Porch Forum

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.”
