4. Healthy Monadnock Seeks {Healthiest} Status
Rural community seeking high quality of life for all. Some call us quaint, we prefer adventurous and we want to shake up the status quo. Dedicated followers fuel our appetite and skilled partners keep us fresh, but now we seek something a little racier. Must love kale and winding trails. Have been known to eat an occasional cupcake. Let's escape the ordinary, champion the extraordinary and then scale, accelerate and spread what works to everyone, everywhere.
