first something about me
I have a purpose in my life
and that is to go to the countryside, buy a house and live there, hopefully on a mountain
I would need there the Internet, a family and a car (a jeep maybe)
and I can picture myself with a dog and few domestic animals that I would not kill
like chickens that I would have for eggs, a cow for fresh milk etc.
I wouldn’t need to have these animals but I’d like to have them
“The Real Dirt on Farmer John” is an unusual documentary
it is good because it talks about farming, something I may enjoy doing in the future, growing organic food for myself
the main character is not your typical farmer
his mother is a great lady, too bad she died
I really enjoyed watching her, she’s really special
farmer John likes art, hippies
he describes his life, his family, his farm
how he started rich, got into debt and rose like a phoenix
actually, he made a profitable business doing something called Community Supported Agriculture
he made a website called Angelic Organics
now, I didn’t understand it 100% but the main thing is that he grows organic food and that people invest in him financially so that they may have like a basket of food each week
the people also work on his farm and have fun doing things
I think the idea is great
I for one am sick of the food I buy at big supermarkets
food with pesticides, genetic modifications etc.
so, whenever I can, I buy food from peasants I know
that way I support my community instead of filling pockets of rich corporations
