I really hope that this man's sentiments are the exception to the rule, but if not, at least I don't have to invite him to thanksgiving dinner. <br />And yes, those seed packets are beautiful!!!

And for pete's sake, don't sit down with a calculator to determine the financial feasibility of farming (unless you add bonus line items to the income side like Feeling Sunshine on My Skin, Spending Time With Animals, Coaxing Food From the Earth). I know you already know the worth of those things. Not small things at all. Congrats on being published! I hope to get there, too, someday.Sophie - The Joy of Farminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741748075899295935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281069965301856533.post-35680317631295735962012-03-07T08:43:54.745-05:002012-03-07T08:43:54.745-05:00I hope you write more about this in the future.

This year I quit my job and started a small business, and even though my husband makes WAY above the poverty line and we have MORE than enough, I still catch myself whining and complaining that I want this or that and entertain the though of going back to work JUST so I can have those things (even though my business is exactly what I've always wanted to do and love it!).<br /><br />You guys are truly inspiring, and I hope one day that you are rewarded for all the hard work you do - goodness only knows where we'd be without farmers!Josiehttp://fineandfeathered.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281069965301856533.post-35652863740502318962012-03-06T15:12:35.033-05:002012-03-06T15:12:35.033-05:00Yep, total douche bag.

I was floored when I read it the other week. Was it a journalistic equivalent of a joke? Was it actually a very serious piece? Or....was it meant to draw the ire of the proverbial 99%?

How does that happen when you barely make enough to pay the bills?
