It's not easy to farm. <br /><br />Many farms here are becoming housing developments and/or shopping centres. The Greater Toronto Area is the fastest (or one of the fastest) developing areas in all of North America at the moment. I'm not sure that's a good thing.<br /><br />I have several friends with active farms. Two of them are being swallowed up by developers, housing and/or malls. Both are still on their farms (renting the property they once owned) but one of them has purchased another farm west of here and is actually running TWO farms at once. <br /><br />Bravo, Indiana!EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-79404536309741195222009-08-31T11:46:43.625-04:002009-08-31T11:46:43.625-04:00Lovely old homestead and well taken care of.
