If you haven't read Forrest's book Gaining Ground, I think it will give you a ton of inspiration and comfort. I would probably consider farming as more regular/long-term part of my life if it wasn't just me. If I had a husband or significant other to make the leap *with me.* It's harder to muster up that courage alone. But like I said, I'm lucky that there are people nearby who let me come to their farms and at least have some connection to that life. I do think my life is richer for it.Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-64190420623251365932016-05-01T07:50:11.010-04:002016-05-01T07:50:11.010-04:00"Granted, it often takes several years to get..."Granted, it often takes several years to get there after pants-wetting years spent in the red, but farming is generally not a quarter-by-quarter profit seeking enterprise. If you are unable to take a long—very long—view of things, farming is probably not for you."<br /><br />Well, at least I know I'm doing it right! Thanks for making farming sound so damn awesome--I needed that! I figure I've got another 3 yrs or so of scraping by before this farming thing is finally making money so the occasionally article like this really helps keep the spirits up!Johnny Repassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-85050082217453981482016-04-30T08:55:48.407-04:002016-04-30T08:55:48.407-04:00Like you, Amy, I have long fantasized about living...Like you, Amy, I have long fantasized about living and working on a farm of this kind. I'm made for it. I love the outdoors, the animals, the plants, the whole cycle of life that is manifested in such a place. And I always loved doing good hard work too. Alas I never found my way there and have had a chronic back pain condition that put an end to any notion of it since about 45 years of age. I do have a small bit of garden where I grow some veggies; mostly greens. And I'm considering getting some chickens, though I've yet to make that leap. I'm cautious against getting into more than I can physically handle.<br /><br />It's often romanticized a bit too much, as it really is a lot of work. Though modern technology has lightened the load a lot compared to 100 years ago. And I really admire those who do it, and do it well, such as written about in this book.<br /><br />And any discussion of this topic is incomplete without at least a mention of Joel Salatin, the master himself. I am lucky enough to buy my beef from a local farmer here in Missouri who has worked with Joel in developing his farming methods.
