Yes, readers, it is a tough life! As you can judge from the photograph above, interviewing farmers can be a rigorous, demanding and difficult job! Who on earth would want to drive through Lanark County in springtime, to a wee village that still has a general store, to sit on the grass (gracious me) in the sun, listen to bleating sheep, inhale thick wafts of lilac blooms and apple blossoms, and finally, to talk to people with a passion for the interesting initiatives they are taking, and a desire to offer it up to their community. Alas, I do suffer through these trials, dear readers, for your pleasure alone, of course (sigh…).
