The one thing that we hear over and over again from people that we talk to about farming is, "wow, that sounds like a lot of work." Yes...yes, it is, but we do it because we love it and we want to know where our food comes from.
Already, we (and our volunteers) have worked about 150 hours planting, preparing, and weeding at the farm this year and it is only May 10th. So, I guess some people might consider that a lot of work. However, we try to focus on how beautiful the little things are instead of looking at it like one lump of a "lot of work."
We actually look forward to going to the farm and being outdoors in the sunshine more than our actual jobs sometimes. We like farming more than dining at fancy restaurants, going shopping for expensive stuff, and watching the latest movies. There is something beautiful about seeing a tiny ladybug on a leaf, finding a frog camouflaged in the dirt, and seeing gardening snakes slither by. You can even find beauty in the dandelions or raindrops sitting on spinach leaves.
