Several readers sent me this article:
More Young People See Opportunity in Farming
We're just the latest trendy thing!
A friend of mine who worked for TechSmith (even longer than I did) just decided to leave to run his wife's parents' winery. My witty former boss told him he was "this year's Carla." Farming - it's all the rage.
The Latest DIY Craze? Say Cheese (and Other Dairy Products)
This article from today's Wall Street Journal was entertaining as well. Though Kris has made cheese before, I haven't, but I encourage all do-it-yourself-ers to give it a shot!
Kris said that these cheeses they mention in the article are the easy ones to make - but they still look like a lot of steps to me. I said I much prefer baking, especially desserts like ... pie. Thus, the phrase 'easy as pie.' No one says, 'Easy as a temperature-controlled with lots of steps cheese.'
Jim Rogers the great investor tells people to go be farmers too!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing about Kris' adventures with the DIY, grow your own wheats and hops, homebrewing process.
