Some years ago our family decided to become farmers ... maybe homesteaders is a better description. We are not hardcore homesteaders but we enjoy living simply when we can and harvesting what we can locally. Admittedly, Maine is not kind when it comes to living off the land and being self-sufficient, but we try. In Maine they have a saying. If it's not winter, you are preparing for winter!
What we've learned over the years is to be passionate about what we are doing. Love your work, if you can call it that, and then it isn't work, is it? My family and I, and better yet, my better half, Kathy, have enabled me to pursue my passions for years. And our most recent venture is no exception.
