Adamant: from Old to New

Cloud Alliance has come to Adamant, Vermont, the tiny village straddling the line between the Towns of Calais and East Montpelier, and home to the world-famous Blackfly Festival attended by dozens of people and thousands of blackflies!

The Adamant Coop is Vermont’s earliest cooperative grocery store, dating to Depression days in 1935. Now, it’s the host of our latest repeating station. Some villagers already have access to Cloudburst service at their homes. What’s more, Cloud Alliance is providing a free hotspot to the Coop. Sitting by the old wood stove, community members are able to zoom around the world using Cloudburst, at no charge.
