Porcupine Report #93: “The Independence Inn” with Tyler and Sara Courtney
December 17, 2025 at 11:35AM

Eric talks with Tyler and Sarah, the new innkeepers of the Independence Inn in Strafford, New Hampshire, to talk about their journey from California and New York to the Free State. They share how a simple vacation turned into taking over the historic inn and opening The Jefferson restaurant, built around scratch-made food, local sourcing, and personal responsibility. They share how their business has been embraced by the local community and why New Hampshire’s culture of freedom, trust, and neighborliness feels fundamentally different from other states. Tyler and Sarah explain how the inn has become a hub for Free Staters, visitors, and future movers looking to experience New Hampshire before relocating. The episode highlights how building businesses, community, and culture on the ground is central to keeping the “Live Free or Die” spirit alive.
