Ian Vair, a cherished vendor at the Rutland County Farmers’ Market and an advocate for sustainable living, is facing felony charges stemming from an incident influenced by his lifelong battle with a severe neurological condition.

Ian’s brain tumors cause unpredictable seizures, leaving him physically active but unaware of his actions, and without memory of the events. While Ian is committed to taking responsibility, his condition and contributions to our community call for a compassionate and fair resolution.  

By signing this petition, you are joining the effort to seek an alternative resolution—focused on rehabilitation, medical treatment, and community service—so Ian can continue to contribute to our community while receiving the care and understanding he deserves.

Together, we can ensure that justice is both fair and compassionate.
