And you know what? You're right. The off-farm work, if it is part of the whole, big-picture stuff that enables the on-farm work, IS a part of that effort. Without my job, we also would not be on our place, and we would have completely cultivated our front and back yards in town with comestibles. And all the lovely animals would live somewhere else.
