The rythyms of life. Family farm chronicles

by Jon Katz
The rythyms of life

Family farms are about the rythyms of life, as I have come to see at the Rouse Farm. They get up early, milk cows, work hard, go to the house, see the grandkids, have coffee and a slice of Michelle’s apple pie, get in the tractor, go fix a silo or ruptured pipe, chop 20 acres of corn, fix the post at the rear of the barn, go to the house, have lunch, watch some news on TV, milk cows again.  Talk to relatives. These rythyms offer structure, tradition and connection. Most people are losing such rythyms in their lives.
