Your 2026 Passport Across the Free State!

For more than two decades, people have come to New Hampshire for PorcFest to see what the Free State Project is all about. But during those same two decades, something else has been happening quietly across the Granite State. 1/

Last year, we climbed Mt. Cardigan together.
This year, we’re going higher.

Join the Free State Project on Saturday, October 17 for the Granite Freedom Trek 2026, a guided hike up Mount Pierce followed by a private after-party with Free Staters from across New Hampshire.

Come for the mountain views. Stay for the conversations. Meet the people building the Free State and experience New Hampshire for yourself.

The final rant of @PorcFest XXIII: Spontaneous Order, delivered at Man Camp before the Saturday night “Burning of the Porcupine.”

It was a rant against “PorcFest pessimism” and a thank you to all the builders who are keeping the spirit of the festival alive.

Thank you to all who participated in Friday’s Free State Theatre play reading of Joseph Addison’s “Cato” — as part of QuillFest at @PorcFest XXIII: Spontaneous Order.

This is the play George Washington mounted at Valley Forge — a tragedy of the final days of Cato the Younger.

🐷 From field to fire, the whole week builds to one thing. Wednesday: pig gutting. Friday: de-boning. Saturday at 6 PM: the Pig Roast. Three days of honest work, one unforgettable meal. No middlemen, no permits, no apologies. Just men, tools, fire, and a hog cooked the way it was meant to be. Bring your appetite. Bring a friend. Saturday, 6 PM at Man Camp. 🦔
