farming

This past weekend I took some mums, ornamental corn, gourds, apples and the last of our sweet corn to a farmers market in Eagan TN sponsored by the woodland community land trust. It was a great day, there were other folks selling quilts and jerky and baked goods and produce. I bought a pumpkin roll, pears, tomatoes, eggs, and some deer jerky. I met some neat people who are working there doing some of the same work that the settlement is doing a little further south. Someone brought their banjo and others just belted out a few songs without any accompaniment.

Being at this market along with other time spent thinking over the past few weeks has me thinking about agriculture as an occupation. Some of this probably comes from the job hunt that I am going through currently as well. I hate the cliche, but it's in my blood, I have zero formal education in agriculture but between growing up on a farm and working for my uncle I know enough to be dangerous and not enough to be employable. So I'm not sure what my future involvement in agriculture looks like but I know that I would like it exist.
