A fun fact about me, I'm part of the new agriculture movement. I live off the land, breed animals, grow my own plants to sustain me, and in general practice sustainable independence. Ever heard of it?
I've heard of the general sentiment. That sounds difficult. What goes into it?
To be honest it's quite a lot of work and the start is very expensive. You have to be very dedicated to the lifestyle. There's animal husbandry, crop selection and then periodic moving of those crops to ensure you don't exhaust the soil, and a lot of research to ensure that I'm using the plants in the right way. In my spare time I do keep bees. I sell what I don't use at farmers markets, so I'm always busy.
I assume that you love what you do, though. Plus, in working at the farmers market, you help others to establish food security, so you must feel good about your work.
