From a baby until about 10 years old we used to spend the summers on an
organic farm (probably 500 acres or so). Nothing fresher that fresh milk
every morning for breakfast with fresh eggs and corn right off the stalk,
etc. Ringing the farm bell, after gathering eggs and milking the cows, to
wake up everybody...

Sad problem was the farmers kids wanted nothing to do with the farm biz
so he had to sell it to some yuppies who also wanting nothing to do with
farming and turned the main house into a nightclub or something and
abondoned everything else. Last I heard it had changed hands again.

It's only about two hours away but I'd rather keep my memories and not
risk pulling into a walmart or something

That's true here too. It is extremely hard work, many farm kids just
could not make a go of it, and many who still do farm also have to work
another job to make ends meet. I thank God every day that I still get
to eak out a living (barely) on this farm And I'm afraid we are all so
entrenched in the fast fix corporate bs that pretty soon we will not
have choices. If you are ever in the area, stop by, I hope we will be
too.
