'No Farms. No Food.' You'll see on quite a few bumpers in this county.
When did rural become code language for uneducated with our national media?
Media bias toward city thinking vs. farmers?
This country was created by farmers, Founding Gardeners by Andrea Wulf, is stuffed with tiny font, delicious historical facts & pleasure gardens along with the agricultural.

House, above, is surrounded by open & wooded acreage, heirloom livestock, potager, pleasure grounds, ponds, barns, and speaks easily to a dense social life shining a light on the many lobes & neural pathways of their minds, ripples into the larger community & crosses oceans in its reach to others of like spirit.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

pics taken last week at a jobsite. Founding Gardeners has details about John Adams & Thomas Jefferson on their English garden tour & facts about George Washington fighting the Revolutionary War while taking every new garden idea England had & more.
Yes quite the bias. Most people who speak about rural areas like that have no experience with that they criticize, hence the word prejudice! They couldn't hold a conversation with Jefferson, etc for long...
ReplyDeleteThis is an inspired post, Tara. You are so right on.
ReplyDeleteI know that book. It's fascinating.
Bias abounds. There are folks who understand a farm only in terms of industrial,mechanized, monocultured landscape. Pastoral scenes consigned to works of art, having no value in today's world of efficiency and feed the world production. Hedgerow Farm
