The unequalled life of farming

Why would a successful southern california executive walk away from the high society thrills of fancy served dinners, fancy cars, expensive tastes, etc for dirty jeans, hard physical labour, a tired back, and low income? In a word passion! Farming is not a job..it is a lifestyle full of passion and fulfilment unlike anything I have every experienced.
This article does a great job portraying the lifestyle of farming... Those moments where your soul is touched walking through you land studying the plants and animals...the lives.. Totally dependent on you for survival. Gods creation awaiting your wisdom and touch.life itself looking to you for guidance and nurturing.
Sure there is passion around changing the world...saving the environment... Changing families...saving lives all through providing good food and nutrition.that should be enough to drive anyone to this lifestyle, but there is so much more on an intimate personal level.
Every birth here touches our should.every death crushes us.  A simple walk around the farm is as full of new exciting experiences and discoveries as any vacation.watching life emerge from an eggshell our studying trip tiny bugs fighting for survival in their little world are fascinating and mind boggling.the complexity all around us every day is a testament tip natures complex balance we have yet to appreciate fully.
farming is a lifestyle...a fulfilling one marked by hours of back breaking work sorted with moments of intense wonder, fun, fulfilment, appreciation, respect, and deep enjoyment.vacation? Why? Where would we rather be? We spend our days doing what we love in a setting that is as beautiful as any place on earth....inside nature
