ladies and gentle men. Buy a farm and grow your own food.

I don’t know about the farm, but I am certainly down with having a garden. I remember as a child growing our own tomatoes in New Jersey. Man, I still have not ate anything close to that since. We are in the process of moving to a house with a backyard and the kids want a dog. My only concern would be having the dog piss all over my garden. Nothing a little fencing cannot fix I guess.

The sad part is that in 10 years they will say that something was wrong with the seeds used to grow the veggies. It is funny because my 2 year old spent the summer with my mother in Atlanta. She has an apple tree in her yard. My son would go out and pick an apple sit down and just eat it. At 1st , I was horrified. I was like wash it off, you need to check for worms and on and on. The reality is that apple with its worms was better for him than the McDonalds he eats on Fridays.
