I once heard an agribusiness expert sarcastically refer to the kind of place where Leah and I live as a “boutique farm.” Others sometimes call acreage like ours a “hobby farm.” And, while I must admit that we don’t earn a living off our land, we do have quite a peaceful life here.
We have good, healthy food from last summer’s garden in our pantry, and our chickens give us eggs that we can offer up for breakfast. I humbly invite the professional cynics to come out for a meal and sit a while in our small, chemical-free pasture...maybe give their preconceptions a rest.
