However, when its viability was threatened by large corporations, the town's 3,000 residents banded together to create a revolutionary, self-sustaining food system. While the 2008 recession crippled privately owned farms, the Hardwick food companies thrived. Now, Hardwick is poised to become the quintessential model for American communities."@en
