EAST HARDWICK – Rob Macleod and his small East Hardwick Farm were featured in a Vermont Public story by Erica Heilman last week titled,“Twenty-nine cows, eight pigs and no water,” whose well ran dry for the first time ever.

MacLeod said, “. . . the experience of having no water when it’s just a person is inconvenient and frustrating, but you can bring in enough to get by. But when you have a farm with no water, that becomes, you know, within two or three days, you’re in crisis.”
