On a business trip to Japan in 2000, I was stunned to discover the Tokyo subway still ran on the honor system. No turnstile jumpers, just trust. Flash-forward to my life here in New Hampshire, and the same principle thrives: roadside farm stalls, unlocked and unmanned, with a coffee can or a Venmo QR code and a simple request—take what you need, leave what you owe. No cameras. No signs warning of prosecution. Just… trust. It’s not just charming—it’s culture. Live free and act right. One more reason I love living in the Free State!
Ross will be attending PorcFest!!! 🙂 Grab your tickets today!
Just got back from a lunch with Ross, his wife, Caroline, and of course, Lyn Ulbricht, the bestest mom in the world. They will all be at PorcFest is a few short weeks.
I joined Ross Connolly 10:30-11am on Vermont Viewpoint: “Carla Gericke, President Emeritus of the Free State Project and former citizen of South Africa, informs listeners about the political instability in South Africa and the controversy between the Trump Administration and the South African leadership.” Listen now… it’s the last 25 minutes of the show.
