RE: Why Would Any Sane Person Want to Farm or Homestead? That was the question that I was asked!!!

in #homesteading7 years ago

Good for you, most people don’t value or understand the things you know get to experience in abundance. I moved out of NYC to a small town in MI 7 years ago, and people are still asking me why. It’s hard to explain the value of working in and with nature together with your family. Until you experience it, it just seems like extractive work to most. I have had the ability to cheat a bit a though, as I am a web designer I kept all my work from NYC and get to work at home and do the homesteading. Although I think they both take away a bit from the other, they are nice complements. Being that I do work “9-5” I don’t have to time to keep animals. Those are serious time commitments that are year round.

Yes I think the country life has so many valuable lessons that you just cannot get from city living. Thank you so much for the comment. Have a wonderful day.
