This is one reason why farms change hands (in addition to the flux in prices, weather, etc.). This all said, I too hope to have some sort of agrarian lifestyle one day. I probably will shoot for something on a more 'self-sufficient' scale though.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294953169659955020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197013080208242443.post-5981153112741872812009-02-22T08:57:00.000-08:002009-02-22T08:57:00.000-08:00I felt the same way after reading that book and An...I felt the same way after reading that book and <I>Animal, Vegetable, Miracle</I>. If I could afford to buy responsibly-raised meat, I'd start eating it occasionally. Of course, we're hypocrites since we don't buy meat but we still eat hamburgers when we go out. Oh well-every little bit helps, right? <BR/><BR/>Anyways, you could look into some sort of farm-share or produce delivery. I don't know if the company I use delivers that far south, but they have a lot of options and you can even get delivery every other week. Supporting local farms is great, and we've discovered that fresh-picked broccoli and carrots taste so much better than the stuff at the store.FoxyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950095008611661757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197013080208242443.post-40641546300725506342009-02-22T05:37:00.000-08:002009-02-22T05:37:00.000-08:00Good luck with your farm.Good luck with your farm.chrome3dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576475963450286806noreply@blogger.com
