Back to the village. Great idea but modern people want it to be picturesque and don't tend to like the reality of country and farm life. We have dirt roads, pot holes, the snow doesn't get plowed in time for them, manure needs to be stock piled and then spread on the fields, animals call out to each other in the fields, trees get cut, views change. When city people come to the country they often complain about the weirdest things. But this is the reality. Their low slung car is not going to make it in mud season.
I hope he succeeds and brings people closer to food, growing it, raising animals, processing it. This is real life. People need to know that reality doesn't come plastic wrapped.
Cheers

DALTON, Mass. — Berkshire Money Management (BMM) announced that Financial Advisor PJ Gagne, AIF has joined the firm.
He brings a grounded, values-based approach to financial planning, helping professionals and business owners in their 50s and 60s answer financial questions and move toward retirement with clarity and confidence.
Gagne specializes in guiding clients through decisions—such as when to take Social Security, how to protect their children's future, and how to turn a lifetime of hard work into long-term financial security. His collaborative planning style helps clients understand their best-case scenarios while preparing for uncertainties.
"PJ's ability to simplify complex decisions and help clients move forward confidently makes him a tremendous addition to our team," said Allen Harris, Founder and CEO of Berkshire Money Management. "His expertise will support our continued growth as we expand services across the region and open our new Williamstown office."
As the firm announced earlier this year, BMM's newest location at 136 Water Street, Williamstown will be open by appointment later this month.
Gagne lives in South Hadley with his wife, their children, and pets. He enjoys home projects, coaching soccer, and time with family. He holds a BA in Economics from Fairfield University and is an Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF).
