Whitman, who once dabbled in dairy, now seeks to milk the green gold of cannabis. His proposal includes state-of-the-art greenhouses and a commitment to sustainable farming practices. “We’re not just growing plants; we’re cultivating opportunities,” Whitman quipped, donning a tie-dye lab coat that screamed both science and ’70s nostalgia.
However, not everyone is rolling with the idea. Some residents fear that the farm could lead to increased traffic, a distinct skunky aroma wafting through the air, and an influx of tie-dye enthusiasts. “I moved here for the fresh country air, not the scent of Woodstock,” lamented longtime resident Ethel Butterworth, clutching her lavender sachet.
As the town deliberates, one thing is clear: Vernon Center stands at the crossroads of tradition and transformation. Whether the proposal takes root or withers on the vine remains to be seen. But for now, the community is engaged in a spirited dialogue, proving that democracy, much like cannabis, thrives best when cultivated with care.
