Yale History Major finds niche in farming/pics. of our garden and yardbird coop



Guess who wants to be a farmer?
One of the world's oldest professions is gaining popularity among America's younger generations, thanks to demand for organic and locally sourced food and a desire to get back to basics.

Great article I found on Lloyd Kahn's blog, which is a daily read due to his interesting posts and photos. His books are also great. I have a weather-worn copy of Homework...a must buy for anyone interested in interesting homes, and self discovery.   When I read Mr. Kahn's story about leaving insurance to become a carpenter, I was inspired. The gentlemen in the picture looks happy to be farming.  Sounds like investment banking was a major bummer. I can only imagine.  Investment banker's should be in prison after all the money they have stolen from the public. I might have to go into farming after reading this post. 
Here is a shot of our garden and yardbird coop.  We have three little bantam  hens, but they are always out foraging in the woods.
