The Real Dirt on Farmer John

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

Here’s a Wikipedia entry of this documentary :)
