Very interesting idea.... using e-commerce to sell organic products directly to consumers.

The complete opposite of factory farming.

I’d imagine the meat packing would be outsourced. Can’t imagine dealing with that aspect of it given how messy and regulated food safety is.

Farming may be one of the few industries that is more challenging than consulting.

My in-laws, one of which is a former Exxon exec, retired into farming and they work harder than anyone I’ve ever met on the job.

But the work is different. It's really hard to compare consulting to farming. Both have long hours where one is very physical and the other VERY sedentary. While farming may be more physically challenging, a lot of people find physical labor, where you can see what you have created in front of your eyes, more fulfilling.

I come from an agricultural family. I sometimes dream about going back to it. It is very hard work though

It’s funny I grew up on a farm and I’m in consulting now...miss those days.

My dad is selling a 250 acres flesh cut flower farm in NJ for $1.5 million (business and land) if anybody is interested.

I grew up on a small farm. It is an incredible amount of work. There is also an incredible amount to learn if you’ve never raised or grown a specific animal or crop.

With that being said I’ve often contemplated buying land and starting a hobby farm. Not transition full time like described here, though I can understand that as well. There is simply something deeply filling about doing work that is tangible that I miss.

So I’m not the only one considering this lately, eh? Need to do a lot more research, planning, etc, but this sounds so rewarding despite how tough the work would be.

yes!

Does anyone here live near East 83rd St and 3rd Ave? I'm interested in an apartment there but I noticed a huge construction site at the corner there. The agent said the construction there is now mostly just facade work on the top so it's not noisy any more, but I don't 100% buy that. If anyone lives in that area, can you please tell me if you can still hear any construction noise from inside your apartment when you close your windows at all? Thanks!

Tired of my pharmacy.

It’s a pointless phone call. Why do I have to repeat these shenanigans every month?! Is it just Rite Aid? Is CVS any better? So irritating.

Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
