Walt Jeffries at Sugar Mountain Farm has been a very quiet blogger for a good while, and it's been even longer since I blogged about him. (I'm sure I did, but too lazy to check.) He and his family have pigs, plus other livestock, on a farm in Vermont.
He ceased right after he had gotten the necessary inspections to butcher their hogs on the farm and sell the meat across state lines, as well as within Vermont. Building the butcher shop had been a multi-year endeavor, chronicled in the blog. After that he may have had less material to use in the blog. Don't know. I also thought maybe his children might have had problems with his blogging as they grew to adulthood, which would explain his silence.
Anyhow, he's recently returned to blogging, at least a little. His latest post reports the approach of fiber optic cable to his farm. He might go with that way, as opposed to Musk's Starlink system. He credits the USDA broadband effort. That's interesting because he's basically a libertarian type, reluctantly dealing with the regulations needed to get his butcher shop and retail sales operation running.
