it's self flattery to call it a farm, but we do have chickens and fruit trees. but it is a big lot for the city.
don't grow enough to do markets, and not really up for that. grueling. looking to hook up with some chefs, private and otherwise. have someone now who brings me scraps.

yeah, i just admitted i didn't have what it took. you need a ton of energy, money to burn, and you sorta have to be young and good looking at least in the beginning. unless you are a guy, of course, but even then. connections and charisma. and a LOT of work.
