As if I needed any more encouragement to explore hobby farming, AOL’s Wallet Pop has a recent story about the upswing in so-called lifestyle farming.
A lifestyle farmer, according to this piece, takes on a manageable 1 to 12 acres. And these folks make up a remarkable half of the 2.1 million farms in the U.S.
The article quotes longtime farmer and Fields of Plenty author Michael Ableman, who says, “More and more people are wanting to return to basics and take control of a fundamental aspect of their lives. Farming gives people a sense of deep satisfaction and a connection to the real world.”
I couldn’t agree more.

I couldn't agree with you more, growing your own veg and raising a small flock of chickens in your backyard, not only gives you great satisfaction but the end results taste yummy too!
