Well, I've been hearing about blogs for quite some time now, and decided that I just had to join in. I'll be talking about my Farm mostly, I guess.
I moved to this farm 8 years ago. Wow! It doesn't seem that long! I knew very little about farming, only that I wanted to try it. I have a family, and I wanted to provide a healthy environment for them to grow in, and also provide healthy food for us. I had owned a couple of horses, dogs, cats and turkeys in the past, as well as managed a small raised bed garden. Hey, I had it covered! I was an expert! HA!
I was reading a farming how-to book later on and came across a quote that I will forever remember.
"How do you become a millionaire when farming?"
"Start with two million."
Yikes! True!!!
Guess what else... Farming is a constant job that never takes a break. You need to be ready to go, boots on, anytime day or night. When it's raining... chores still need to be done. When it's sunny and everyone is heading to the beach, chores still need to be done. You can go to the beach after... if you have any energy left.
Husbands and children do not necessarily feel the same way the new farmer does... They liked the clean city.
