That's our dream over here. Even if not to end up making profit, if we can level out living expenses, thatd be great...
To work the land, get dirty, breathe the fresh air, eat what we grow/raise, live a simple yet hard working life--for ourselves.
Not working day in and out for other people. Not saying that if I had extra vegetables and stuff I wouldn't go to the farmers market, I would.
Coming from a farming background, I realized the value and good feelings that can come from feeding others..
And the money made there would only help the continuisation of the cycle.
It is indeed a way of life, not just a way to make money.. Not saying that is something you don't realize.

but for those of us that don't do so well in the public sector-- a behind the scenes benefit to the world(however meager it may seem at the time) is a truly great thing.
Now my passions are stirred... Newly formed synapses engulf my senses, and give my thoughts and dreams hope for survival!
I do believe I should find myself useful, and get off my ass on my endeavors...
