Local property dispute lands tea farmer in hot water

Amber Collett Terway, owner of Tilia Tea, faces a local dispute over her use of a city-owned property in Barre for microfarming calendula. Neighbors argue they were not consulted about the use of the land, bought out after a 2011 flood, while others support her efforts to promote local ecology and business. The conflict highlights broader challenges in managing post-flood vacant land in Vermont.
