Farming is Hard, but it's a Worthwhile Life

I love what I do (which is a great thing to be able to say), but that doesn't mean that every few days I don't wake up thinking, "Was this whole organic endeavor a bad idea?"

I mentioned in my introduction post that farming has drastically evolved in the last 100 years, and unfortunately not for the better. Here is a great TED talk from Mark Bittman to check out that supports a lot of the things I touched on in my first post.

One more thing to watch: There's a cute Canadian family that is currently living out of a retrofitted school bus and traveling around the USA interviewing organic farmers. It's cool because the Mom's a writer who wants to create a collection of tips/best practices from farmers who are organically and sustainably growing their land.

That's what I want to do, too. Our collections combined could be powerful!

Why A Transitional Farmer Creates a Blog
