Welcome to Quarry Hill's Blog!
Quarry Hill Creative Center in Rochester, VT, founded 1946 by Barbara and Irving Fiske, is Vermont's oldest alternative community and at one time was probably also its largest. In the 60s -80s, as many as 90 people lived here.
It was and is visited each year, often in summer (but in every season, really) by visitors from all over the world.
We welcome interesting and creative people who are peaceful, bring no weapons, don't believe in hitting children or killing animals, and enjoy the beauty of Vermont and of themselves.
Most of us do not adhere to any particular dogma or religion, though many do find Eastern philosophy closest to our own thought (some of us are also members of the Quakers/Society of Friends).
We value the individual, particularly people who are energetic and have a sense of humor.
Visitors are welcome-- and prospective residents, too. There are some places for rent, others for sale. If interested, get in touch!
And, please follow the Blog and comment whenever you like!

10th Century Irish Poem... One of my great favorites.
Round the tree of life the flowers
Are ranged, abundant, even;
Its crest on every side spreads out
On the fields and plains of heaven.
Little flocks of singing birds
Celebrate their truth;
Green abounding branches bear
Choicest leaves and fruit.
The glorious flocks maintain their song
In the changeless weather:
A hundred feathers for every bird,
A hundred songs for every feather.
