Always Has Been: Chapter 1: The Goose Race Incident of 1719

In 1719, a quaint English village fair hosted a goose race, an event that drove villagers to buy more geese from a nearby village. Their arrival alarmed local livestock, disrupting a crucial agricultural meeting of local farmers and landowners. Forced to adjourn to a tavern, the ensuing lively discussions over ales fostered camaraderie, resulting in the merging of two farming collectives. This merger notably increased agricultural cooperation and productivity in the region for years thereafter.
