Learning to Farm

Transcript

Transcript

So I learned a lot of things the hard way. And I'm getting better at things. Like... I was one of those females that had never changed a tire, and it wasn't until ~laughs~ actually it wasn't until this past fall when I got my hay wagon that I had to change all four tires, you know, so... There's a lot of things that I'm learning the hard way. Luckily I'd taken wood shop and things like that when I was a child before we moved away, but um, you know. You just learn as you go. And there was a woman that came out to the farm the other day to interview me who was thinking about, who's doing the "small farm dream" program through the Countryside Conservancy, and she said, "Well, I need to learn more, you know, before... Study more." And I said, "You can study all you want. You're gonna learn from doing."
