Show Notes

I wanted to take a deep….deep dive in this episode.  For those of us in this audience, something pulls us towards agriculture and the farm.  What is it?  That is a question that I have been trying to answer for some time.  I have faithfully followed the path I am pulled towards, but only on faith.  Being able to articulate why I would trade a life of good pay, lots of leisure time for more risk and harder work has never been easy to figure out.

Recently I came across an article through the Art Of Manliness Blog called “A Call For A New Strenuous Age.”  This article put it all in perspective for me.  Humans are called to work….to really work.  Their bodies need it.  It needs the physical labor and exercise.  We need to be able to look back and see what we have accomplished for the important intrinsic rewards that work can provide for us.

To feel whole and worthy, we must do something worthwhile.  A lot of work is worthwhile, but so much of it these days is repetitious and comfortable that we miss out on a lot of the benefits that work can give to us.  This is why working outside, using my muscles and farming called to me.  I was missing this, and I did not want to continue to feel like I felt without it.

I hope you enjoy the episode.
