WHY WE FARM.
This. This is why we put up with the aches and pains and sweat and tears.
Because this is our ingredients list every day. Right now, our options are corn, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, eggplant, peppers, basil, dill, cilantro, beans, berries, mushrooms, lamb, beef, chicken, eggs. We have outrageous meals, eating like kings, and we are all the healthier because of the food (and the work that went into growing it).So at the end of this insane week, the 100 degree days and grubbing for potatoes in the mud and smelling eternally like onions, I am still sure. I am sure that this is what I want to be doing, as I bite into an ear of sweet corn freshly picked. As our kitchen floor is crowded with baskets of food. As I fall asleep each night, belly full and arms sore from work.- Hannah.
