 There are a few studies that indicate our pre-agro ancestors did ALL the work for eating..hunting...killing...cooking...cleaning and eating in about 3 hours daily......that leaves alot of time to smell the roses.

Now...the neolithic farmers, on the other hand, spent considerable time farming ( and tending roses! :)

I could not have said it better. Gardening is like therapy to me. When I
do some hoeing, I just imagine the weeds as members of damagement or some of
the bad (L)users and start hacking. It does wonders for the spirit. Some
good beer helps, and in Wisconsin, there is plenty. ;)

Yes, but you have to understand that those animals, trees, and garden take
lots of work! You have considerably less time to sit on your porch and drink an ice cold beer! Of course, it's just that much better when you do!

Seriously, I'm in the same boat as Dave, and the benefits greatly outweight
the disadvantages. We have three acres with a couple of horses. We've had
fresh tomatoes for a couple of weeks now, but we don't do the garden thing
otherwise. However, there are plenty of places to purchase fresh-picked produce around here. When you walk outside at night and see the sky ablaze
with stars, you realize what a truly remarkable world we live in. Really
helps with the attitude!

Sorry, but I don't think I could ever be a city dweller again!

I am so incredibally jealous of you!!! That's my little dream, land and
sweet smelling air and trees and animals and privacy. I want to go home after work, sit on a large porch that wraps around my house, put my feet up,
listen to some sweet James Taylor, smoke a grit and drink an ice cold beer
and watch the sun go down:) Anyway, back to reality:(

This is why I have chosen to live in a rural community so that I can have a
huge garden and many fruit trees. And for the meat eaters, you can hunt Deer, turkey, pheasant and many other critters. This way I know that my produce has no chemicals and does not get picked until ripe. I just picked
my first tomatoes yesterday. I had lived in places like Chicago and San Francisco but got tired of the traffic and the high cost of living. Yes, I
make less than my counter parts from the big cities but my costs are less.
But more importanly, I live in a place where I can walk out my backdoor and
see nothing but fields and forest. It's the greatest cure for stress!!

Rachel,

Do you have the 'Farmer's markets' in NY like we have here in CA? (where farmers freight and sell their farm-grown veggies and fruits in a specially
agreed upon place/schedule) Have *entirely* stopped buying veggies/fruits
from the grocery store since the farmer's markets opened this Spring. Will
miss them in Fall/Winter though.... I did go down to a farm and hand-picked
berries in NJ when we were there. Is it worth the drive down the turnpike?
