Uniting Around Food to Save an Ailing Town - NYTimes.com

THIS town’s granite companies shut down years ago and even the rowdy bars and porno theater that once inspired the nickname “Little Chicago” have gone.

Facing
a Main Street dotted with vacant stores, residents of this hardscrabble
community of 3,000 are reaching into its past to secure its future,
betting on farming to make Hardwick the town that was saved by food.
