Quotes by Noel Perrin (?)

“Farming is a poor way to make a living, at least around here, because you have to go into factory farming to make it pay. It is the best hobby there is—only 'hobby' is too little a word. The best way of life. Not just because you learn forty different trades, and not just because you follow the seasons, but because you get to spend your whole life producing a single work of art. That is, the farm itself.”
― Noel Perrin, Third Person Rural: Further Essays of a Sometime Farmer
